bad service

I made enquiry about travel insurance and asked whether my spouse is and or can be included in the insurance. The first consultant said no my spouse cannot be included because i am the primary card holder. He also aid that he will email me all the information pertaining to the insurance. When i did not receive the email, i called back spoke to a lady this time and low and behold when i asked the same question regarding my wife, she asked me about whether i have lIfe cover and medical aid with discovery. i provided answers to her questions and she assured me/confirmed that my wife is covered. i then again requested email confirmation and like the first consultant, i am still waiting for the email. My experience is that in certain areas of Discovery services are very bad and in others they are good. My recent experience left me disappointed and concerned with the lack of customer service on important issues that Discovery lacks.

Thank you for the response however, that does not resolve my problem. Now i will have to make another call and ask another agent to send me email confirmation pertaining to my request.

So i called Discovery AGAIN!! and spoke with Boitumelmah who PROMISED ME that i will have the required information email to me before 1pm yesterday. i explained to her that this is what i was told on the two previous occasion and verified my email address and even asked that we look at alternative method of getting the information. Despite all these efforts, i was PROMISED by Boitumelmah that the mail will be in my inbox by 1pm. It is more than a day later and still no email. Discovery's poor service delivery and lack of customer service cost me having to pay another service provider for cover i was told i qualify for!! Will discovery accept liability or reimburse me the cost of sourcing another supplier?? The reference number i was given by Boitumelmah is *** maybe, just maybe someone with a sense of accountability will take the lack of customer service serious and deal will the matter and give me feedback. i am not holding my breath on this!
