What does joining the Vitality Programme mean?
Here at Vitality, we do things a bit differently. We want to help our members live longer, healthier, happier lives and reward you for looking after your health.
After a few simple setup actions, you’ll get personalised health recommendations, earn Vitality points for healthy things, get a Vitality status and be rewarded – all through the Vitality UK Member app.

Four easy steps to start earning rewards
Step 1: Download the app
Download the Vitality Member app - your gateway to Vitality. To set up your account, you’ll need your membership number, which you can find on any email sent from us. You use the same account login for Member Zone (giving you desktop access to the Vitality Programme) and the Vitality GP app too.
Step 2: Link a device
Next, you’ll need to link the device you want to use to track your steps. Most members link their phone. And, if you have an activity tracker, you can link that too. Our app will walk you through what to do, use this support guide and get set up in no time!
Step 3: Create your Health Profile in the app
This makes it possible to start earning points and ensures you see supportive content to help you meet your health goals.
Step 4: Get active to earn rewards
Activities like walking the dog, a bike ride, or weekend gardening will soon earn you Vitality points on the app. Get active each week to unlock regular Active Rewards like Caffè Nero or if eligible, the cinema, and as your Vitality status goes up, you’ll unlock bigger discounts on Status Rewards like hotel stays.
What can the Vitality Programme do for you?
We can help you understand your health better by giving you access to health tools, advice and even discounted health checks. You can also get Vitality points for taking simple healthy actions like having a dental check-up.
Then we make it easier to improve your health with things like discounts on selected partner gyms, fitness trackers and trainers.
And, to keep you motivated, your healthy activity and Vitality status unlocks rewards including handcrafted drinks or smoothies, cinema tickets if eligible, and discounts on hotel stays.
How does improving your Vitality status help you?
Everyone starts on Bronze and the more points you earn you progress though Silver to Gold and eventually Platinum.
Each Vitality status gives you access to additional benefits and rewards. Depending on your plan, these include reducing the annual increase you may see on your premium, reducing your plan excess, and unlocking bigger discounts with our Status Reward partners. And once you’re more active, earning more points and increasing your status, you’ll feel fitter and healthier too!
Most members earn their points through steps and everyday activity but there’s lots of other ways to earn points too, it doesn’t have to be hard work and before long you’ll feel fitter and healthier too!
