Absolute ****

If I could give this company zero stars I would. I was involuntarily signed up for the Clientele perks service after repeatedly telling the guy that I was not interested and don’t want to be signed up. He insisted that I had a month to cancel should I not be happy with the service.

To my surprise they debited R160 from my account five days from the day I spoke to him. I went back to their stand at the mall to cancel the subscription and to get a refund. The staff wasn’t helpful as they kept insisting I send an email to the customer service line and that there’s nothing they can do beyond that to help. It makes absolutely no sense that you can be signed up for it, while expressing your disinterest, yet cancelling requires you to go through leaps and huddles

I haven’t used any of the “perks” nor have I downloaded the app. I have sent an email, which hasn’t been responded to. I called the customer service and the guy that assisted me said there were no supervisors he could escalate the matter to and that was my last resort

I want to cancel and I want my money
