Discovery Bank charged me for services I did not use.
I had the misfortune of having to renew my credit card just as Discovery Bank launched its own banking suite. Through the FNB app, my card management used to be a breeze. I contacted Discovery for a card renewal but SEVERAL new current account cards arrived via courier with a letter stating that the requests for Gold Credit Cards were so high that they were sending a temporary current account card, but that the Gold Credit Card would follow. I contacted them again after a month, I receive more temporary cards. After 3 months I finally got a Gold Credit Card. I noticed on my Discovery Bank statements that these ‘replacement’ cards were all being charged as ‘additional’ cards. I never activated any of them at an ATM or on the Discovery app because I only wanted the Gold Credit Card. So I called on 26.02.2021 and spoke to a consultant and after explaining the sequence of events promises to phone back. She never calls back. I phone again on 01.03.2021 and this consultant tells me she never went on leave during lock-down and knew nothing about any replacement cards issued in lieu of the Gold Credit Card but promises to follow up with a phone call the next day. She never calls back. So I send a reminder email the next day 02.03.2021, I send another on 19.03.2021. Still waiting for any response. Discovery Bank charged me for services I did not use. It is unacceptable to have to go through so much trouble to get Discovery Bank to rectify their mistake. CASE #***

Another 2 weeks since your last promise to respond, 2 months since I logged the issue.
Every day I phone the consultants only make more promises to phone me back which they never do, I ask for them to just send me an email with the status of the request, nothing...
I'm not sure what Discovery Bank expect customers to do in these situations? It seems rather counterintuitive to complain about service delivery when it is so blatantly lacking?
I am extremely annoyed and frustrated.

Another 3 months have passed since your last promise to respond, 4 months since I logged the issue.

No reply from the helpline, no reply from their PR department?
I am getting no customer service, but have to keep paying every month.
