You won’t find a bigger fan of Admyt than Stuff’s own Toby Shapshak. Although we doubt there was much competition in the ranks for an app that specialises in parking. The glowing testimonial makes sense, considering Admyt speeds up the entire ticket-based parking experience you’ll meet at nearly every single mall in the country.
And now, it’s getting a little better. But only for Discovery Bank clients, unfortunately. If you can’t count yourselves amongst some of SA’s banking elites, you’ll miss out on the new perk heading their way. That perk is free parking — assuming your definition of ‘free’ is a little looser than the dictionary’s.
Never Admyt defeat
Rather than parking simply being free, Discovery Bank clients who find themselves stopped at one of the 80 or so Admyt-ified malls in SA will have their parking fees refunded in the form of Discovery Miles. These can be converted back into real cash if you so wish. You’re right, that is unnecessary.
Unlocking these benefits isn’t as simple as parking your car and calling it a day. First, Discovery Bank clients need to download the Admyt app and sign their car up. From there, they must use their Discovery Bank card as a payment method and spend R250 inside the mall within the first four hours. Then, and only then, will drivers be awarded a refund while leaving the mall.

It’s not quite infinite, either. Depending on your status at Discovery Bank, different clients will be awarded different refund thresholds. Gold and Platinum members, for instance, are allotted R50/m on ‘free’ refunds, while Black cardholders can up that to R75/m. Purple clients, however, get the best deal with R100/m on Discovery.
“Admyt’s mission is to make everyday experiences easier and more seamless. With Discovery Bank, we’re now extending that by making them more rewarding too. Parking has traditionally been something customers simply pay for, but with this partnership it becomes something that gives value back automatically, without any extra effort,” said Kfir Rusin, CEO of Admyt.
