No response from Bonitas

I wrote the below review on 6 January 2025, Bonitas responded, that they will resolve the complaint soon, to this day I have not heard a word from Bonitas.

"All Bonitas members, please be aware. During the December holidays Pharmacy Direct (the Preferred Service Provider) did not dispense medication as they were closed. I went to a local pharmacy to get my chronic medication and was charged an additional 40% for not using Pharmacy Direct, now this comes of my new savings which was added on 1 January 2025. This is such a malpractice and Bonitas gets away with it as they do not inform members of this Penalty Charge. Check and query youAll Bonitas members, please be aware.
