What is the value of 50 000DM on D-Day?

The real value of 50 000 D Miles
50,000 D Miles on any day, is exactly R5000. However, this value changes significantly when you spend Miles at the Vitality Mall online, or in store at any of the Vitality partners.
On a normal day you get up to 15% discount. However on D Day, R5000 becomes the equivalent of R7142.
How? Let’s look at an example buying a pair of running shoes.
First, you divide your R5000 by 70%. (Remember we have 30% D day discount). The first step is to work out how much you can spend. D50 000 on D Day = R7142.
If the people working behind the tills don’t ask if you are on Vitality (but they probably will), make sure to tell them you are prepared for D Day with your discounts AND your Miles.
Next step, On your app, you can access your 25% Active Gear discount. You can produce your 25% Y-code for your R500 discount on that R2000 price-tag. Use this at the till. Already your R2000 shoes will only be R1500.
Now you are left with R1500 to pay. But you have D Miles and it's D Day. How many Miles do you need to pay for your R1500?
Tip: You don't actually have to work it out because your Discovery Bank app does it for you.
In your app, go to your Discovery Miles Balance, hit ‘Spend’ and then “Pay in Store’. Knowing you only have R1500 left to spend, type R1500 in the amount and the calculator will work out your 30% D-Day discount and you will see that you only need to pay in R1050.
You can pay this in Miles if you have enough Miles, and technically you're receiving your shoes at no cost to you - Vitality is going to cover for you. Thanks Vitality!
Everything is better on D Day.
