Discovery Vitality 2022 updates
Vitality makes choosing to lead a healthy lifestyle even more rewarding. Vitality offers you a science-based behaviour change programme that helps you keep track of your progress towards a healthier you and rewards you for making better choices with a premium range of health, lifestyle, and leisure benefits.
Earn Vitality points by getting active, eating well and doing all your health checks. You’ll enjoy a variety of rewards at each status level and the healthier you get, the higher your Vitality status. At the start of every year, your Vitality points reset to zero but you still keep the rewards and status level that you earned the previous year. This is to help encourage you to keep healthy year-on-year.
