Careful consideration when opening an account

wanted to open a bank account and discovery bank took me through the whole process and the only option they gave me was to open a savings account. when i queried why my vitality miles did not transfer across i was told that i have to open another account ie transaction account or credit card. BEWARE - seems that all the top ups to have your miles moved across come after you've opened the initial account. i definitely don't want another account with discovery bank.

Hi Maria,

Thank you for reaching out to us, and I’m sincerely sorry for your experience.
I understand your frustration with only seeing a savings account option and later being told that an additional account was needed for your Vitality Miles to transfer. I appreciate how this could feel unclear and misleading, especially as you do not wish to open another account.

I will look into this and provide you with feedback shortly.

Kind regards,
Marusha
