Looks like REST super has teamed up with AIA vitality giving its members free access to the AIA vitality program. Most of you probably already know about the program as it has been mentioned on here before, but for those that don't it's a reward program designed to keep people healthy. Benefits include 50% off fitness first/ virgin active gyms,weekly $5 vouchers from boost juice/woolies/ hoyts, (up to 50% off Qantas flights- edit TBC..can't see this option atm ) to name a few. A quick search on ozbargain will show u faq regarding the program.
U need to join through the REST app or text the number listed on the site.

Edit: does not include Qantas flights. Limited version of the program but still very useful. Thanks to Strapify Australia for confirming.

    Oh damn, this could tempt me to move to Anytime Fitness. $400 cashback per year, every year would be amazing and pretty much half my gym cost…

          If you are part of AIA vitality you get a discount going to anytime so it costs 60 dollars per month.

          Then on top of that every 90 days if you visit the gym 20 times you get 100 dollars cash back. So the gym fees are 720 per year then you can get 400 dollars back.

          So it's actually 320.

          Don’t just look at the name of the investment option when comparing it with other funds. Look at the growth/defensive asset split.

          Some industry funds have been getting in trouble during the royal commission for having their ‘Balanced’ fund in 95% growth assets, and then comparing it with other actual ‘Balanced’ funds which are typically more like 70% growth.

          @Devils Advocate: Which fund had a Balanced option with 95% growth? Not even the dodgy banks who bill dead clients would get away with that

          +2

          @railspider:
          Yes they do get away with it. Not sure which one has 95% Growth assets, but take a look at supposedly the best performing "Balanced" fund from HostPlus - 90% Growth. Their website states 76% Growth, but they're including property and infrastructure as defensive assets.

      • D3m3ntia on 22/08/2018 - 08:38

        It's the Super fund's management of the investment mix that performs, ergo still the fund manager

    • kasp on 22/08/2018 - 14:13

      A few years ago their core strategy was the best. Recently that has been going to Host plus from memory.

      Still a good performer but there are better out there. Not enough for me to really jump ship.

    • fractalsonfire on 22/08/2018 - 14:52

      Depending on your desired weightings, kind of average.

      For me, who likes max equities, their options are on the expensive side and they don't offer index equity options. They also underperform the international markets on the overseas share fund. Their costs are ok… Not cheap, not expensive.

      Personally i've been weighing up changing recently.

      I spoke with AIA and they said they won't carry over. Importantly, the REST membership doesn't give you the Qantas cashback or the 5,000 point gift cards.

  • dundy on 22/08/2018 - 08:18

    Is someone able to clarify this for me?

    Context:
    In the REST app, within the AIA Vitality section, I've set my reward as the $5 Woolies voucher.
    I've installed Google Fit (as suggested), linked it and set a target of 8,000 steps per day.

    Questions:
    1. Do I need to do the 8,000 steps daily for 7 days to receive the $5 Woolies voucher?
    2. If I set the target to 1,000 steps, will point 1 still apply but with the lower step count?
    3. The Woolies voucher has 0 - 200, what does this scale represent?
    4. Probably a question for AIA support (who I have emailed already), but I'm an existing Anytime member and have paid upfront for a year. Wondering if I'd still be eligible for the $400 cashback

    TIA!

    • tlai on 22/08/2018 - 08:23

      0-200 is the important part. You need 200 points to reach the goal to receive the points. It increases every week if you reach the previous goal.

    • dane45 on 22/08/2018 - 11:54
      +2

      I've previously asked AIA support about the Anytime cashback, since I'm currently at Anytime on a foundation rate. They said I would need to cancel and sign up to Anytime again at the AIA rate.

      Let me know if they tell you anything different though!

  • Harrison on 22/08/2018 - 08:24
    +2

    You need to meet your weekly activity target to get the $5 voucher. The target changes based on your performance of precious weeks, meaning it gets harder and harder. In order to get my $5, I have to go to gym 5 times a week

    • nightelves on 22/08/2018 - 08:33

      Target changes if you over perform from the previous week. If you just maintain it then target remains the same.

  • XVX on 22/08/2018 - 08:45

    I have linked the app to a Google Fit app I have just installed, will I be able to just manually add the required steps to meet my goal and get my voucher that way? Also how many points towards the 200 do you earn for completing a daily goal?

    • chewkl on 22/08/2018 - 08:58

          @grasstown: Nope, it still hasn't given me any points so who knows what the go is with it. Maybe manually adding walks wont cut it for the points. I saw someone else saying they had done the walking and they hadn't received the points either, so it may just be very delayed.

        • grasstown on 23/08/2018 - 08:40

          You can get income protection from RACQ for around $210 a year which includes the full AIA Vitality. Income protection is tax deductible so I guess if your in the highest tax bracket your paying $115 a year. I'm in the $35k-$80k bracket and I pay about $140 a year including the tax deduction.

    I love AIA vitality, got it when I bought some insurance through AIA. I get the weekly $5 and also hit platinum for my first year and got $500 odd in JB/myer vouchers. If you get the points, which for about 25,000 is relatively easy, it's definitely worth while. I can't comment on REST though.

    • Maz78 on 22/08/2018 - 11:12
      +2

      It actually isn't that east to get to Platinum. I've had it for nearly 3 years. I easily get the activity points or gym points, but they CAP them. So unless you manage to get all the extra physical checks, flu shots, dental checks, various screenings, you'll struggle to get close to platinum on exercise alone.
      And it isn't really free. You're whoring all your information to them for a voucher..
