Discovery Bank Problem After Problem

Receiving no cashback anymore, no Vitality Money. Charged interest when I had selected minimum payment option to make sure interest avoided. Called in and sent help request emails and received totally unhelpful responses and no resolution to any of the problems. I understand there may be some teething issues with migration across but starting to wish I hadn't made the move. There are no issues with Discovery debit orders coming off your account, but as soon as it comes to cash back and/or credit payments there are countless issues and you have to jump through hoops to get them resolved. Some contact and resolution of numerous issues would be appreciated. Very frustrated and disillusioned customer.

Hi. Thank-you for your response. I am not getting any cashback at all anymore. No healthy food cashback, no gym booster cashback, no flight booster cashback. I am also still owed shoebooster cashback from the beginning of the year and have still not received that..
As far as I can see I am also not getting my discovery miles multip**** when I shop at partner stores?

Hi James

We have referred your cash back query to Vitality to confirm why the cash backs have not been paid to you. One of the Vitality consultants will be in contact with you to address the query

With regards to Miles Multiplier, the benefit is no longer available on Discovery Bank. Just like Discovery Card was a new way of using and looking at credit cards, Discovery Bank is our take on banking. As the world’s first behavioural bank, Discovery Bank offers new benefits that rewards you in more ways than only considering your credit card spend.

Vitality Money helps you get financially healthier so you can have the freedom to do all the things you love, and rewards you along the way. We pay your cash back from Vitality into your Vitality Savings Account.

Dynamic Interest Rates lets you control your interest rates by improving your Vitality Money status. Enjoy better interest rates on your savings, and pay less interest on credit as you manage your money better.

Kind regards 

Best regards,

Discovery Bank

Hi. It is over a week later and I have still not received the interest refund. I have also still not had a resolution to my ongoing problems with vitality cashback (not to mention no contact from vitality re this issue as promised). 
P.s. I am happy to keep this a private issue for now but at what point do I need to make it public again?
