Information page changes 2025
On September 17, we informed our members about the changes that will take effect on January 1, 2025. Below, we outline the details of the updated program and its accompanying terms and conditions, so you’ll know what to expect in the coming year.
If you have any questions about these changes, be sure to explore the frequently asked questions on this page, organized by topic.
Earn points
You can still earn points with steps and heartrate for your weekly goal, monthly goal and Vitality Status. We are just making it a bit easier to get started or get back on track. This means that:
- the minimum weekly goal will be reduced from 300 to 100 points per week;
- you can earn points starting from 5,000 steps per day or with a less intensive workout.
Do you want to earn points for your Vitality Status by participating in a sports event? Then check the overview to see how many points you can earn for each type of event and distance.

Frequently asked questions about earning points
Our mission is to get as many people moving as possible. That's why we’re making it a bit easier to earn points through physical activity. This way, the program also serves as an incentive for participants who are unable to exercise as intensively.
You can no longer earn points for the number of kilometers you’ve cycled. Of course, you can still earn points through cycling if your average heart rate is high enough. For this, you will need an activity tracker.
Dutch people love cycling, which is why we introduced the Cycling App a few years ago. However, it turns out that most participants earn points through heart rate, steps or events, and not through cycling kilometers. Additionally, the Cycling App doesn’t work equally well for all users, which has led to many questions. Unfortunately, we don't have a suitable solution for this. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue the Cycling App and focus fully on optimizing the features that generate the most points.
In the updated program, you can no longer book sports classes through the app. However, you can still earn points during your sports class if your average heart rate is high enough. For this, you will need an activity tracker.
With the introduction of booking sports classes through the app, we aimed to give participants the opportunity to earn points without an activity tracker. This option has proven to be less successful than expected, leading to a disparity between costs and benefits. For this reason, we have decided to discontinue offering sports classes.
You can continue earning points by participating in events, even if you can no longer register for an event through the app.
This will be the process starting from 2025. Have you participated in an event that falls under one of the categories where you can earn extra points for your Vitality Status? Then you upload the required information in the app and receive the points you've earned.
Rewards
With a.s.r. Vitality, staying fit remains fun and rewarding. You can still earn 3 types of rewards: a weekly, monthly and status reward. We are also introducing Vitality Benefits. These benefits are always accessible, even if regular exercise isn’t possible for a while. See below for a description and examples of each type of reward.
Weekly rewards, monthly rewards and status rewards
Each week, you receive a weekly goal. If you achieve this goal, you earn credits in our webshop. You can use your webshop credit for attractive discounts on a variety of products and activities.
It might take a bit of getting used to: your credit will be multiplied by 100 to better align with the new reward types. If you have 2 credits at launch, you’ll have 200 in the new webshop. In the new app, you’ll receive 100 credits when you achieve your weekly goal.
In the webshop, under weekly rewards, you’ll also find Vitality Benefits. These are special offers that don’t require any credit. Often, you can increase the Vitality Benefits with your earned webshop credit.
Example: Starting January 6, you can purchase various activities and products with Vitality Benefits in the webshop. By redeeming your earned webshop credits, you can get even more benefit.
Note: Examples and prices shown on this page may differ slightly from the actual offerings available in our webshop starting January 6.

Customers with health insurance can switch to a different health insurer annually. Switching an income protection insurance, however, is more complex. Therefore, a.s.r. provides financial support to income protection policyholders.
