• Make sure your Health Review is complete
• Turn off auto-renewal in your Amazon.co.uk account. If you keep ‘auto renewal’ switched on, Amazon.co.uk will take a Prime renewal payment automatically and you won’t be able to earn a Vitality contribution towards your Prime membership
• Use your existing etika account if you already have an agreement for Apple Watch or Amazon Prime, otherwise you could get declined

Log into your Amazon.co.uk account and go to Your Account/Your Prime Membership. Your end date will be visible on the left hand side of the screen.

If you’ve turned off auto-renewal in your Amazon.co.uk account, your membership will simply end and you can renew with Vitality at any time.

You can apply to renew Prime membership even if another member on your plan is the current benefit holder. This means the benefit will be based on your Vitality activity points, so the tracking information will appear on your Member Zone and you’ll be given a Unique Prime Membership Code. This reward is limited to one Vitality member aged 18 or over per household.

Your account will remain open, even if you’ve fully paid your loan agreement. To renew your Amazon Prime membership through Vitality, you’ll need to head back to the Member Zone.

If you cancel your plan or leave your company scheme, your credit agreement for your Prime membership will continue with etika. As you won’t be earning Vitality activity points, your monthly Direct Debit payments will switch to the maximum amount of £7.90 per month for the remaining period of your credit agreement.

Once you’ve started earning Vitality activity points towards your Prime membership through Vitality reward, you can see a detailed breakdown of which points count towards your reward on the Vitality Member app. You can view your overall Vitality points in Member Zone online. 

You can view your Vitality points statement from the Vitality Member app by tapping on ‘My Weekly Activity’ and then ‘View Plan Points Statement’. 

In Member Zone online, simply log in and navigate to ‘Partners and rewards’, click on Amazon Prime and your progress so far will be shown in the right hand sidebar. To view a detailed breakdown of your Vitality activity points, you can navigate to your Vitality points plan statement from the right hand sidebar of the homepage in Member Zone.

If you’ve checked your Vitality points statement and you believe there’s been an error, please send us a secure message in Member Zone and we’ll investigate for you.

To send us a secure message, navigate to your Vitality points plan statement from the right hand sidebar of the homepage in Member Zone, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click ‘Query points’. 

Remember if you’re tracking multiple activities a day – for example both steps and heart rate workouts – the Vitality Member app will only reward activity points for the one daily activity with the highest points earned.

When you take out a credit agreement with etika, you agree to contribute £7.90 a month for a maximum of 10 months for your Prime membership. Vitality offers you the opportunity to earn Vitality activity points to reduce your contribution to £0 a month. The Vitality contribution therefore refers to the payment made towards your monthly Direct Debit with etika, which is earned from your Vitality activity points.

You can view the Vitality contribution to your payments in the ‘Partners and rewards’ section of Member Zone, or in the Prime membership benefit area of the Vitality Member app.

Let’s take an example:

The maximum monthly contribution for Prime membership with Vitality is £7.90.

If you’ve earned less than 160 Vitality activity points in the month, you’ll contribute £7.90 the following month. The Vitality contribution is therefore £0.

To reduce your monthly contribution to £0, the Vitality contribution would need to be £7.90 based on you earning 160 Vitality activity points in the month.

Your first Direct Debit payment will be taken on the 19th of the following month after your activity month, so if you didn’t earn 160 Vitality activity points in February, your Vitality contribution is £7.90 and your Direct Debit from etika will be £7.90 on the 19th March.

If you cancel your plan or leave your company scheme, your credit agreement will continue with etika. As you won’t be earning Vitality activity points, your monthly Direct Debit payments will switch to the maximum contribution of £7.90 per month for the remaining period of your credit agreement.

No, as long as you complete an online Health Review in the first year, you’ll continue to be eligible for Vitality activity points towards your contributions in the second year.
