Vitality members who have an Exercise goal streak of 100, 200 or 300 will receive a Vitality Centurion T-shirt with their century streak number printed on the back
We're also updating the Spend and Drive rings to be more dynamic and engaging.

UPDATES
Vitality Travel is coming to the Discovery Bank app. Plus, new Vitality members will no longer have to wait three months before using the benefit. The six week booking rule for international flights will be reinstated.
Your clients will now:

- Have access to a range of non discounted local and international listings on Vitality Travel through Booking.com
- Have the option of paying with their Discovery Miles and having all their bookings in one place.
Vitality Purple will be closed to new business. All Vitality Purple members will be moved to Vitality and their premiums reduced accordingly.
- Members with an active Purple gym benefit will keep getting up to 75% off any Virgin Active or Planet Fitness gym membership while it's active.
- Members with the Technogym equipment rental benefit or sports equipment cash back benefit will continue to receive their monthly cash back until the remaining contract or benefit period has ended.
The age range for earning Vitality points when completing the following health checks has been adjusted to align with clinical guidelines and the funding rules of Discovery Health Medical Scheme.
- Female members between the ages of 25 years and 65 years (previously between the ages of 16 years and 65 years) will earn 2,500 points for completing a pap smear. Members will earn the points in the year of the screening and the next two years.
- Members aged 45 years or older (previously 50 years or older) will earn 2,500 points once a year for completing a colonoscopy.
The Vitality Health Check for 65+ will consist of age-appropriate biometric range assessments and a falls risk assessment. The hearing and vision pre-screening test will be removed. Members can do these tests at other providers if they would like to do so. There is no change to the Vitality points earned during a Vitality Health Check for 65+.
If the reward for any benefit that pays cash backs is below R50 in a month, Vitality will hold this reward for an additional month to allow it to accumulate to more than R50 and be paid out, otherwise this reward will be forfeited. This includes cash backs for HealthyBaby, HealthyDining, HealthyFood and Team Vitality.
Members can get up to 40% off when spending Discovery Miles online or in-store, in the Active Rewards Mall or when purchasing airtime or prepaid products and services. Refer to the Discovery Bank Discoverer for more information on how this benefit works for 2023
