Although the slip she showed at the beginning of the video indicated R1 259, the shopper noted that she had over 10 000 Discover Miles.

"I monetised those and paid R259."

What are Discovery Miles?

Financial services company Discovery provides a rewards currency, Discovery Miles, which people can earn after spending with Discovery Bank and engaging with their Vitality programmes.

More specifically, people can earn the rewards currency by playing on the Vitality Active Rewards gameboard, shopping in-store and online at Checkers and Woolworths when purchasing HealthyFood items, "spending money well," and filling up their car's tank at selected BP and Shell garages. Lastly, clients can earn on debit orders on Discovery Life Bank Integrated policies.

Clients earn R1 for every 10 Discovery Miles.

Tsakane responded to the TikTok user:

"Girl, I save up those Miles. Early this year, I bought myself a Fieldbar."

A disappointed @roxannepillay01 shared:

"I keep missing this. I only realise on Wednesdays that I missed it."

@mmabatho_sa was astonished at how much Discovery Miles the content creator accumulated and stated with a laugh:

"Over 10 000 Discovery Miles? Teach me how! My Discovery Miles hate to see me coming, shame. I use them to pay for bank charges."

@nathinice_ added in the comments:

"Yeyi! I got mine for R1 799. I’ve been waiting for them to be on Terrific Tuesday. A win is a win."
