Hi ,
Can I pay at the tollgate and car service with a Discovery Motor Card?

Well, I guess it all depends. If the Discovery Card has your medical aid details on it, then yes, it would make a difference.

I think the hospitals are still only going to show you a preference if they think you have medical aid, and the Discovery Credit Card would be treated the same as a normal credit card unless it was actually part of a medical aid membership.

Currently I do not have a medical aid as I prefer paying for things myself.
I have a growing fund currently standing at +- R 300 000 as a back up for medical.
I do have Life and Disability cover with Discovery. The thing that concerns me most is if I am ever in an accident and am not concious, emergency medical personal go through your purse or wallet to establish if you are on a medical aid. If they find a medical aid card, they will then take you to the nearest private , decent hospital. If they do not find this info on your person, you will be delivered, at your peril to the doorsteps of a provincial hospital. The “golden hour” could mean life or death, depending where you land up. My question then is : Will having a Discover Credit Card in your purse or wallet solve this problem????

You won’t receive any discounts when purchasing tickets with the credit card, but you can apply for the Vitality Movie card and get discounts with that. (WELL worth it).

I’m not 100% sure about having 2 cards. I recommend phoning 0860 11 CARD (2273) to get confirmation on this.

Yes, it’s credited back onto your card once a month.

I think around the 15th. And you should receive an SMS when you get the credit into your account saying how much. Though it’s not broken down between the various suppliers (like Pick n Pay, etc..)

How and when do you receive the percentage urned on purchaces made from pick n pay…? Is it credited onto your card monthly perhaps?

Hmmm… I’m not sure. You can definitely deposit money onto your card. That’s how I use it. I try to put money on the card at the beginning of the month, and only use what I deposit there.

Whether it’s a simple case of using that “cash” when you reach your annual threshold, I don’t see why not. It would be the same if you went to the ATM and just drew the cash.

Or am I misunderstanding you?
