  • You will be required to register on the App using Your valid South African or national ID number (or, if applicable, Your Passport number) linked to Your Virgin Active Club membership, and create a unique password to secure Your App account.
  • A compatible device (i.e. an iOS, Android or other suitable device) is needed to download the App and access the benefits offered in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme and in the App. Should You not have a compatible device, this may result in You either having limited functionality OR not having access to the App at all and therefore You will not be able to participate in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme. You hereby agree that no liability whatsoever shall extend to Virgin Active as a result of Your device being incompatible with the App.
  • We cannot guarantee the availability, accessibility, accuracy, or proper functioning of the App nor that it will function error-free. It is possible that submissions in the App may not be successfully processed or executed because of errors or failures, whether caused by You, Us, or other factors related to our Rewards Partners. We are not responsible for any unauthorised human or technical intervention, nor are We liable or responsible for any transaction that is not properly processed, executed, saved, or transmitted, regardless of the cause of the problem. No warranty is made that the App and/or Our software functionality or services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
  • In the event of any conflict between the applicable software and the rules (which may or may not be set out in these Terms and Conditions) relating to any benefit or reward to which the software pertains, the rules (which may or may not be set out in these Terms and Conditions) governing such benefit shall prevail.
  • It is Your responsibility to ensure You have downloaded the latest version of the App from the relevant App store.
  • It is Your responsibility to ensure You have created a secure password and Your password should never be shared with anyone.
  • You are not allowed to share log in credentials with anyone else. You will only be allowed to link one App account and one device to Your membership profile.

GOALS AND REWARDS

Weekly Goals

  • Every week, You will be provided with an opportunity to earn one reward for completing two Club visits per week (each a "Weekly Goal")*.
  • The period upon which a Weekly Goal can be earned starts on a Monday morning (00:00) and ends at midnight, 7 (seven) calendar days later, on a Sunday (00:00) (a "Weekly Goal Qualifying Period").
  • A visit will only qualify towards Your Weekly Goal if:
    • upon entry into a Club, You have scanned, at the Club entrance, Your digital access card on the App, or, for so long as physical membership cards have not been discontinued by Virgin Active, You have scanned Your membership card at the Club entrance;
    • You have remained inside a Club for an uninterrupted minimum duration of 30 (thirty) minutes; and
    • upon departure from a Club, You have scanned, at the Club exit, Your digital access card on the App, or, for so long as physical membership cards have not been discontinued by Virgin Active, You have scanned Your membership card at the Club exit.
  • Should You not scan either Your digital access card on the App or Your membership card (if still in use), as stipulated above, the affected Club visits will not qualify towards Your Weekly Goals and You run the risk of not only failing to meet Your Weekly Goal but also not qualifying for Your Weekly Reward or for Your Tier points linked to tracking valid Club visits.
  • Only one visit per day towards a Weekly Goal qualifies. If You visit a Club two or more times per day, only one visit is counted for the affected day.
  • Visiting two or more different Clubs per day will also not be counted as a cumulative visit towards a Weekly Goal, and only one of those visits will be counted per day.
  • *Unless otherwise communicated by Virgin Active, Weekly Goals are not cumulative in each week or Weekly Goal Qualifying Period and are limited to just 1 (one) Weekly Goal, per member, for each applicable week. As an example, if You visit a Club 4 (four) times or 6 (six) times in a Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, You will still receive only 1 (one) reward for that particular week (and not 2 (two) rewards or 3 (three) rewards as per the illustration in Our chosen example).

Weekly Rewards

  • When You achieve a Weekly Goal (i.e. validly complete the 2nd (second) Club visit of the week), You will be issued a reward in the App ("Weekly Rewards").
  • Weekly Rewards may take at least 30 (thirty) minutes (and sometimes longer) before they are issued.
  • At the start of each Weekly Goal Qualifying Period, Virgin Active will inform You what the Weekly Reward will be for that week (rewards can include, but are not necessarily limited to, a voucher for a smoothie or a hot drink from participating Kauai or Nu stores (redeemable either in-club and/or retail restaurants), or a voucher redeemable at participating stores/outlets of other applicable Rewards Partners, in each instance as advised to You on the App from time to time).
  • You will have 7 (seven) calendar days, from date of issue, to redeem Your voucher. If the voucher is not redeemed, it will expire and will not be carried over to the next week.
  • The voucher is only valid for the specific reward stipulated in the App and only at participating stores/outlets of the applicable Rewards Partner.
  • Any up-size, modifications or extras added by You to the reward will be charged for in full to You (i.e. You will not be able to elect to pay the difference in price nor will You be able to use Your voucher to subsidise in any way Your upsized and/or modified purchase).
  • If You have achieved a Weekly Reward from the previous week that is still valid, and have also achieved a Weekly Reward in the new/current week, You will be eligible to have two active vouchers and redeem both vouchers if required.

Sprint Achievements - for 4 consecutive weeks of Weekly Goals

  • When You achieve 4 (four) consecutive Weekly Goals over 4 (four) consecutive weeks (a "Sprint"), additional rewards ("Sprint Rewards") are unlocked.
  • There is no static start and end date to a Sprint, except the fact that a Sprint is intrinsincally linked to the attainment of Weekly Goals, which in-turn is intrinsincally linked to the Weekly Goal Qualifying Periods - this means You will be rewarded every 4 (four) weeks, on a rolling basis, if You have consecutively reached Your Weekly Goals, (a "Sprint Cycle").
  • Should You fail to achieve a Weekly Goal at any point during a Sprint Cycle, the Sprint Cycle will restart again the following week (per the applicable Weekly Goal Qualifying Period), and You will start a new Sprint Cycle. For example, if You achieve a Weekly Goal in week 1 (one) and week 2 (two). In week 3 (three), You fail to achieve Your Weekly Goal. This means that a new Sprint Cycle will begin again in week 4 (four) and You will need to achieve anew, 4 (four) Weekly Goals in a row from then on, in order to unlock a Sprint Reward.

 

 

Sprint Rewards

  • When a Sprint is achieved, You will be presented with a choice from one of the following 3 (three) Sprint Rewards (We may from time to time, in Our sole discretion, add to or change the list of rewards below):
    • receiving Cashback units to be added to Your Wallet - the number of Cashback units available from time to time to be added to Your Wallet will be determined by Us, acting in Our sole discretion, and We will notify You of these in advance within the App;
    • receiving Tier points - the number of Tier points available from time to time to be received by You will be determined by Us, acting in Our sole discretion, and We will notify You of these in advance within the App; or
    • receiving a voucher from one of Our Rewards Partners (including, but not limited to, from Kauai or Nu) - the vouchers available from time to time will be determined by Us, acting in Our sole discretion, and We will notify You of these in advance within the App.
  • The choice to select Your Sprint Reward is open for 14 (fourteen) days from the day of achieving the Sprint Reward.
  • Selection of the Sprint Reward can only be done in the App.
  • If receiving Cashback units into Your Wallet is selected as the Sprint Reward, Cashback units will be added to Your Wallet immediately or as soon as possible thereafter.
  • If receiving Tier points is selected as the Sprint Reward, the points will be added towards Your Tier points balance immediately or as soon as possible thereafter.
  • If receiving a voucher is selected as the Sprint Reward, the voucher will be available to redeem for 14 (fourteen) days from the day of the voucher selection, and can be accessed in the App under “Rewards”.
  • If You fail to select Your Sprint Reward within the stipulated 14 (fourteen) day period, the Sprint Reward itself and the option to select the Sprint Reward will expire and no longer be available.
  • If the voucher is not redeemed within the stipulated 14 (fourteen) day period, it will expire and will not be carried over to the next week.
  • The voucher is only valid for the specific Sprint Reward stipulated in the App and only from participating stores/outlets of the applicable Rewards Partner.
  • Any modifications or extras added to the selected Sprint Reward will be charged for in full to You (i.e. You will not be able to elect to pay the difference in price nor will You be able to use Your voucher to subsidise in any way Your upsized and/or modified purchase).
  • If You have achieved a Sprint Reward from the previous week that is still valid, and have also achieved a Sprint Reward in the new/current week, You will be eligible to redeem both Sprint Rewards for so long as the selection and/or redemption timelines overlap and provided the selection and/or redemption is done within the applicable timelines as set out above.

Tier Status and Tier points

  • There are 3 (three) Tier levels, which Virgin Active may amend from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion:
    • Bronze (entry);
    • Silver (middle); and
    • Gold (highest).
  • Upon registering for the Virgin Active Rewards Programme, You will automatically default to one of the Tiers, as follows (but subject to any changes which Virgin Active may make from time to time, in its sole discretion):
    • Gold - applicable to all Collection membership types;
    • Silver - applicable to all:
      • Premier and Premier Select membership types;
      • Club, Off-peak and Youth membership types, with greater than 3 (three) years Tenure; and
    • Bronze - applicable to all other Virgin Active membership types not already listed above or meeting the criteria set out above.
  • You can move between the different Tiers as set out below.
  • You will immediately lose Your Tier status should You terminate Your Virgin Active contract or membership - this rule will apply irrespective of the fact that We may hold Your Wallet and the balance in it for a period of time after Your termination of Your Virgin Active contract.

Tier upgrades

  • You can move up Tier levels by earning sufficient Tier points in a calendar month, as follows:
    • a Bronze member:
      • can upgrade to Silver by earning 500 (five hundred) Tier points in a calendar month; or
      • can upgrade to Gold by earning 1000 (one thousand) Tier points in a calendar month; and
    • a Silver member can upgrade to Gold by earning 500 (five hundred) Tier points in a calendar month.
  • Virgin Active may, on sufficient notice, and in its sole and absolute discretion, change the number of points required from time to time in order for You to move up a Tier.
  • You can move up to a higher Tier if You upgrade Your Virgin Active membership type to one that qualifies You for a higher Tier.
  • Tier upgrades are automatic and immediate, as and when You earn sufficient Tier points.
  • You have until the last day of the month to earn Tier points. Tier points earned in a month are automatically treated as follows:
    • if the points are sufficient to warrant an upgrade, You will be immediately upgraded to the applicable Tier;
    • at the end of the month, all eligible points (i.e. those complying with the next paragraph), that were earned in the month, are automatically converted into Cashback units and are placed into Your Wallet by the 5th (fifth) day of the following calendar month;
    • points converting to Cashback units will convert at a rate of R1 (one Rand) for every 100 (one hundred) points earned (i.e. no fraction thereof will qualify for conversion, and in the event of an insufficient number of points (i.e. less than 100), such points will lapse at the end of the month);
    • any other Tier points not converting into Cashback units as per the above, will lapse at the end of the month and reset to zero for the new upcoming month; and
    • as an example to illustrate all of the above:
      • if You are on Bronze and have zero points at the beginning of January; and
      • by the 20th (twentieth) of January You have accumulated 600 (six hundred) points, then You will:
        • be tiered up to Silver immediately because You have reached a minimum of 500 (five hundred) points; and
        • You will enjoy the Silver benefits until the end of February; and
      • if You earn no more points in January and end the month of January with the above-mentioned initial 600 points, at the end of January the 600 points are automatically converted into Cashback units in Your Wallet and are placed into Your Wallet by the 5th (fifth) day of February.

Tier downgrades

 

  • If You have obtained a higher Tier status as a result of earning sufficient points in a month (and did not qualify for a higher Tier status due to Your membership type), You will need to maintain a certain minimum number of Tier points through a series of required activities set out by Us from time to time on a monthly basis.
  • Failure to maintain the minimum points requirement applicable for a specific Tier will lead to You losing Your Tier upgrade and result in the downgrading of Your Tier status - depending on the minimum points You ultimately actually attain, Your downgrade could either be 1 (one) Tier down or 2 (two) Tiers down.
  • Tier downgrades take place monthly at the end of each month.
  • Irrespective of the number of points that You have accumulated in the month, You will also automatically downgrade a Tier(s) if You have downgraded Your membership type to one that falls within a specific default Tier.

 

How to earn tier points

 

Tier points can be earned by completing certain activities from time to time. Some points earning activities have a maximum amount of points that can be earned per day, week or month. There are also points which are only available to be earned once-off. The list of earning activities are available in the App and may be updated from time to time at Virgin Active’s sole discretion. You will be able to view which points earning activities have been achieved.

 

Tier Rewards

  • Each Tier has specific Tier benefits and rewards ("Tier Rewards") which are available to You and/or are applicable to You only if You are within (or who have obtained) the specific Tier level.
  • Tier Rewards include a range of benefits, rewards and prizes which are made available by Virgin Active and/or its Rewards Partners.
  • Tier Rewards may differ or change from time to time, as determined by Virgin Active in its sole discretion.
  • Tier Rewards are made available on the same day if the applicable reward is earned as a result of a Tier upgrade.
  • The process to redeem a given Tier Reward may differ depending on the Rewards Partner in question and/or as a result of the particular Tier Reward on offer. You will either be issued a QR code voucher in the App or be issued a unique Rewards Partner code to redeem on the Rewards Partner’s website or at a physical store/outlet.
  • The terms and conditions (including the validity and usage requirements), for the Tier Rewards available to You from time to time will be set out in the App.

 

Wallet - what and how can You spend Your wallet

  • Monthly membership fees:
    • You can spend all or a portion of the balance in Your Wallet on Your upcoming Virgin Active monthly membership fee.
    • We reserve the right to automatically apply the balance in Your Wallet towards payment of any portion of Your outstanding Virgin Active monthly membership fees. This applies even if You are the duly appointed payer on another member's Virgin Active membership.
    • You must have a minimum balance of 25 (twenty five) Cashback units in Your Wallet in order for You to exercise the option to spend any portion of the balance in Your Wallet towards Your Virgin Active monthly membership fee - once the feature is made available in the App, You will also be able to apply this spend towards paying for another member's Virgin Active monthly membership fee if You choose to do so. In both instances, the amount selected will deduct in real time from Your Wallet and be updated in the App.
    • The full amount of the Virgin Active monthly membership fee does not need to be fully paid to enable use of the balance in the Wallet. If You do not cover the total Virgin Active monthly membership fee owed, the remaining outstanding fee will be debited as per the normal contractually agreed to monthly (or otherwise) payment cycle.
    • The value selected by You will then reduce the balance from Your Wallet by the amount to be debited from the upcoming Virgin Active monthly membership fee. The amount can include cents and does not need to be a full Rand amount.
    • Once You have entered the amount and processed the payment via the App, it cannot be reversed or refunded.
    • If an incorrect amount is entered and processed, it cannot be reversed or refunded.
    • You can pay more than the required amount towards Your Virgin Active monthly membership fee. The balance will be credited towards Your account and be deducted from the following month’s debit order cycle.
    • If You pay in full upfront (and/or do not pay on a monthly basis), for a Virgin Active membership, You do not qualify for this benefit.
  • Other Wallet conditions
    • Wallet balances are not transferable to another member.
    • IMPORTANT: Wallet balances and/or Cashback units cannot be sold, exchanged or withdrawn for cash or any other monetary currency.
    • Wallet balances are only redeemable through the channels stipulated in these terms and conditions.
    • Your Wallet balance does not expire unless Your Virgin Active membership contract is terminated. Should You terminate Your Virgin Active membership contract We will ‘hold’ Your Wallet and the balance on it for 6 (six) months only. You won’t be able to use Your wallet balance until You reactivate Your Virgin Active membership within 6 months of terminating it. You may use Your Wallet balance to pay for Your activation fee should You enter into a new contract and membership with/at Virgin Active.

VIRGIN ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP STATUS AND ACCESS TO THE LOYALTY PROGRAMME

  • The status of Your in-Club Virgin Active membership will determine, in varying degrees, Your ability to access, and Your right to use and participate in, the Virgin Active Rewards Programme.
  • To have access to all the benefits of the Virgin Active Rewards Programme You must have an authorised and active Virgin Active Club membership which is in good standing (financial or otherwise), and You must have downloaded the latest App.
  • There are other membership status factors taken into consideration which may impact Your eligibility to participate in (or Your continued use of) the Virgin Active Rewards Programme (e.g. if You have frozen or cancelled Your membership, or if We have suspended, cancelled and/or blacklisted Your membership). If You have not used the App for a period of 12 (twelve) months or more, We will revoke and/or expire any unused rewards or balance in Your Wallet, and You may need to download the App again and possibly re-register for the Virgin Active Rewards Programme if You wish to re-use it or re-join.

By Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and/or by Your participation in the Virgin Active Rewards Programme, You indemnify Us accordingly.

TRANSACTIONS MADE IN ERROR BY VIRGIN ACTIVE

APPLICABLE LAW

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and are to be interpretated in accordance with the laws of South Africa. If for any reason any portion of these Terms and Conditions is inconsistent with the laws of South Africa, such portions will be severable and shall not jeopardise the acceptability of the remainder of the Terms and Conditions.

DECEASED ESTATES

All active reward offers and Wallet balances belonging to a deceased estate will be frozen upon Us receiving satisfactory notification of death, by the person who is authorised to deal with the liquidation and distribution of the estate under the Administration of Estates Act or any other law which provides for the administration of deceased estates (hereinafter referred to as the "executor"), producing a certified copy of the deceased's death certificate.
