Anyone who has a smartphone and is interested in exercise, wellbeing and nutrition.
Minors insured with SWICA benefit automatically from the same BENEVITA discount level as the main contact person (usually a parent). This only applies if at least one parent is also insured with SWICA and uses the BENEVITA bonus programme.
Young people can continue taking advantage of the BENEVITA benefits via their main contact person for the whole of the calendar year in which they turn 18. From 1 January after their 18th birthday, young adults can no longer benefit from their parent's discount level.
To continue enjoying the benefits of the bonus programme, a young adult must register via the BENEVITA app in advance. Registration must be completed by the end of August in the calendar year in which they turn 18. Anyone affected will receive a letter from SWICA informing them about this in good time.
Young adults who have registered successfully for the BENEVITA bonus programme receive an introductory discount as standard in the first year, in the form of discount level 2. In order to maintain the discount level in future years (or even increase it), regular challenges must be completed to collect the right number of points.
Earned points can be redeemed for discounts on premiums or for digital vouchers. Community coins can be used to make donations.
