Vitality drops PnP

The insurance company’s rewards programme partners with Checkers.

- 

Discovery Vitality has announced that Checkers will replace Pick n Pay as a partner from 1 September. Originally, it had announced that Vitality members would be able to choose separate in-store and delivery partners as a "response to shifting shopping habits" and that Checkers and its Sixty60 delivery service would be available later in the year.

It says 60% of Vitality members had different retailer preferences when they shopped in-store versus online. In other words, they shopped at Woolies stores but used Sixty60 deliveries for staples and other groceries.

It has now confirmed that Pick n Pay will cease to be a partner on 31 August (members will still be able to spend their Discovery Miles at Pick n Pay via the Vitality Mall). Woolworths remains a partner.
