Difficult to close account

I am trying to close my credit card but Discovery Bank makes it very difficult to do so. I don't enjoy waiting so long for my call to be answered - after 6.5mins, I dropped the call. No email address either so I can only phone in. Discovery Bank, please can I close my credit card with you.

Hi Julie

I apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

I tried to contact you twice but the calls are not going through.

Kindly note that you need to use your Discovery miles before I log the closure or else the miles will be forfeited.

Please advise when I can contact you to complete the account closure process.

Regards
Beatrice.

Hi Julie

Unfortunately, I do not have a way for us to correspond directly, for the closure I just need you to please monetise you miles on the bank app and then I can proceed with the account closure.

It will be a quick call, If you have an international number you would like me to contact you on, please provide me with that number so that I can contact you.

Regards
Beatrice.

Hi Julie

I tried to contact you but was unable to get a hold of you.

I do see that you managed to monetise your miles and I have advised the account closures team to proceed with the account closure.

This process can take between six to eight working days, once the account is closed, we will send you the confirmation of closure.

Regards
Beatrice.
