How to maximise savings with Vitality Drive and Discovery Insure
July is National Savings Month, and with Discovery Insure and Vitality Drive, it's easier than ever to ease the pressure on your wallet. From fuel cash back to child car seat savings, smart driving doesn't just keep you safe - it saves you money, too.
July is National Savings Month, a time when South Africans are encouraged to examine their spending and foster better financial habits.
We understand that's easier said than done in today's economy. According to Discovery Bank's 2025 SpendTrend report, many consumers are resorting to using their long-term savings to cover immediate costs.
But here's some good news: with Discovery Insure and Vitality Drive, you can earn monthly fuel cash back and get discounted car services just for driving well. Take a look at the benefits that can help ease your financial load and put more of your hard-earned rands back in your pocket.
Get up to R1,500 in fuel rewards
Discovery Insure clients on Vitality Drive earn Vitality Drive points for driving well, improving their driving behaviour and making sure their vehicles are safe to drive. The more points you earn, the higher your Vitality status - and the more you save.
Filling up can be costly. But you can get up to R1,500 in fuel rewards every month when you fill up at bp or Shell, or load money onto your Gautrain Swift card.
This is how we calculate your monthly fuel rewards:
Vitality Drive clients who have a Discovery Bank account are automatically opted in to get their fuel cash back paid out in Ðiscovery Miles, making this the best way to earn the most Ðiscovery Miles in a single transaction.
Get up to 20% off on brand-new tyres
A set of new tyres can easily break the bank. Fortunately, all Vitality Drive clients can get up to 20% off tyre purchases at Tiger Wheel & Tyre based on their Vitality Drive status earned in the previous month. To qualify, the invoice must include tyres. The bonus? The discount will also apply to all other costs on the invoice, such as wheel alignment. Simply show your Vitality Drive card to get the discount.
Get up to 20% off on your next car service
Based on your Vitality Drive status earned in the previous month, you can save up to 20% when you take your insured vehicle to your nearest Bosch servicing centre for servicing or maintenance.
Simply book an appointment online using your ID or passport number, vehicle registration, or Vitality Drive card. At your appointment, let the agent know that you are a Vitality Drive client and show your Vitality Drive card or ID to make sure that you get your discount.
Get up to 50% off car seats
Have kids? Then you know how expensive life can get! Vitality Drive clients can get up to 50% off the purchase of a selected child car seat every year. The discount applies to child car seats from our partners Born Fabulous and Babies R Us, and is based on the Vitality Drive status you earned in the previous month. See the one pager on how to get your discount.
