For New and Seasoned Members

Whether you're just starting out on Discovery Vitality or have been climbing the status ladder for years, understanding how to make the most of your membership is key to unlocking real value. Here’s a simple guide to help you and optimise your Vitality journey.

Understanding Vitality Status Levels Discovery Vitality Health operates on a tiered system with four statuses: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. Your status is determined by the number of Vitality points you accumulate. The more points you earn through healthy lifestyle activities, the more rewards you unlock — from travel discounts to shopping vouchers and fitness benefits.

How to Earn Vitality Points

Here’s how you can boost your status and reap the rewards:

1. Get Active: Track your steps, attend gym sessions, or take part in group fitness classes to earn points. Whether you’re walking the dog or hitting the treadmill, your activity counts.

2. Eat Healthy: Earn points for buying healthy food items from Vitality’s HealthyFood partners like Woolworths and Pick n Pay. Look for products marked as “HealthyFood” with the pink ‘V’ to maximise your rewards.

3. Complete Your Health Checks: Annual assessments — including blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, weight, and height — not only provide insights into your health but also earn you points towards your status.

What Each Status Means

• Bronze: Your starting point. Basic rewards and limited discounts.

• Silver: A few steps up, unlocking better benefits like increased savings on gym fees and travel.

• Gold: A high-achiever status offering premium discounts and more partner rewards. • Diamond: The elite tier. Enjoy top-tier perks like personalised health advice, additional gym access, and enhanced travel benefits.

Track and Stay Motivated

• Vitality Points Tracker: Keep tabs on your points and goals via the Discovery app or online member portal.

• Weekly Exercise Goals: Discovery sets customised goals based on your fitness profile, keeping you accountable and rewarded every week.

Important Reminders

• Points Reset Annually: Your Vitality points reset at the beginning of each calendar year. However, your status and earned rewards stay valid for the full year.

• Family Matters: You can earn additional points through the participation of family members on your plan, making Vitality a team effort.
