Formal Complaint: outstanding cashback promotion - ABSA & Takealot
Dear Absa/Takealot,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a promotional offer that has not been honoured.
I purchased an Apple laptop from Takealot using my Absa Bank credit card, based on a promotion which clearly stated that customers would receive 10% cashback on the value of their purchase when using an Absa credit card.
Despite meeting all the requirements of this promotion, I have yet to receive the cashback owed to me.
I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter through the appropriate channels, however I have been passed between departments without any resolution. It has now been 15 working days, and I have neither received the cashback nor any clear communication or timeline regarding when this will be resolved.
This level of service is extremely disappointing. A promotion of this nature directly influences purchasing decisions, and failure to honour it undermines customer trust.
I request the following as a matter of urgency:
A clear explanation for the delay in resolving this matter
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter further.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Kind regards, Nadine
