Discovery Insure Vitality Drive benefit
Great news! The Gautrain has joined forces with Discovery Insure as a rewards partner. Commuters who are Discovery Insure members can receive up to 50% back on their monthly Gautrain spend.
If you use the Gautrain regularly, and are a Discovery Insure member, you can now reap the rewards. The Discovery Insure/Gautrain benefit is specifically designed for regular Gautrain users who spend limited amounts of money on fuel every month but spend a considerable amount on using the Gautrain.
All you need to do to activate the benefit is join Discovery Insure’s Vitality Drive driving programme, and link your Gautrain Swift card online at www.discovery.co.za. Then it’s as simple as continuing to use the Gautrain as usual.
The more you use the Gautrain, the more cash-back rewards (based on the amount you spend on train fare) you will accrue. At the end of each month, your rewards will be paid into the bank account from which you pay your Discovery Insure premiums.
Just another way to save with the Gautrain while saving on fuel costs and commuting time!
South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind partnership
The Gautrain is proud to be a long-standing partner of the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind (SAGDA), to help raise awareness of the excellent work SAGDA does in training guide dogs, service dogs and autism support dogs, and dogs to enhance people’s orientation and mobility.
SAGDA provides services to people with special visual, physical or developmental needs to improve and enrich their lives and provide them with independence, freedom of mobility and companionship.
The Gautrain offers support for the non-profit’s activities by enabling handlers to train their guide dogs on how to use the Gautrain system; this is achieved by providing them with Gautrain Swift cards and obtaining the necessary permits for the on-site training. The Gautrain also helps to raise awareness of the sterling work SAGDA does on its various digital marketing channels.
In pursuit of helping to make the Gautrain a universally accessible public transport service, we are honoured to be assisting SAGDA in its mission to enhance the lives of visually and physically impaired people and children with autism.
