Discovery Bank recently launched Vitality Travel, a fully integrated travel booking service with unprecedented disc ounts and simplified trip management. The comprehensive travel offering is the world’s first shared-value travel platform which channels behavioural savings into the greatest possible savings on flights, holiday accommodation, car hire and holiday packages.

The new travel offering combines Discovery Bank’s digital payments and platform capabilities with Vitality’s rewards expertise and partner network to access a world of travel deals in a uniquely convenient way.

Vitality Travel provides clients with a unified platform to view, book and change flights, holiday accommodation and car hire. Clients can easily compare travel prices across the market and benefit from discounts with a wide range of travel partners. Bookings are payable directly from a client’s Discovery Bank account or with Miles which clients get from managing their health and money well.

Vitality Travel enables Discovery Bank clients to effortlessly book – with personalised discounts – directly through the Discovery Bank website, where they have access to all local and international airlines, which currently includes five local and three international airline partners at discounted rates, as well as discounts at over one thousand holiday accommodation properties and car hire services, and soon, holiday packages as well.

Managing travel bookings easily

Vitality Travel provides access to all airlines, with discounts of between 10% and 75% on a broader flight partner network – including over 40 local and regional flight destinations with new partners FlySafair, Airlink and LIFT for local flights, in addition to existing partners kulula.com and British Airways operated by Comair.

International flight partners Emirates, British Airways and Qantas, with discounts of up to 75%, are all seamlessly integrated into the platform.

Clients get up to 25% off on over a thousand accommodation options, from hotels and apartments to one-of-a-kind game lodges locally.

Discovery Bank clients also get up to 25% off car hire and up to 15% off holiday packages, including premium World Leisure Holidays properties, Contiki Tours, and Royal Caribbean cruises.

Travel rewards are based on engagement in Vitality programmes, Discovery products, and monthly qualifying card spend. And as a special introductory offer, all Vitality Travel booking fees will be waived until the end of April 2022

Furthermore, clients will also soon have access to a digital vault to store important documents, get free travel insurance and buy additional top-up travel cover when booking international flights with a Discovery Bank card.
