Pre paid electricity

I have been trying to resolve a issue with Discovery Bank paying with an EFT or Discovery miles to buy prepaid electricity. They have acknowledge that there is a problem and advised that I contact the meter manufacturer. Which I did and they responded that on their side they cannot see any problems and request that I purchase the electricity from another bank account. I then purchase the electricity with an FNB account with no problem This proof of purchase I forwarded to Discovery Bank and the only answer I got is that a banker will contact me. The reference no is ***.

  1. Discovery Bank advertise that you can buy prepaid electricity and use your discovery miles as payment. I am unsuccessful to this transaction, although if I buy prepaid electricity with my FNB account I have no problems. I have forwarded them the successful prepaid FNB voucher with the meter number used clearly visible. I have also forwarded the the Discovery voucher that was unsuccessful. (Number again visible)Discovery Bank now expect me to resolve their problem with their service provider Blue Label. I have contacted Blue label and forward them all the information and my Case number is 937901 They have been unsuccessful with excuses that their systems is down. I just want to know is this my problem or Discovery Banks problem. The person who answered yesterday from Discovery is just passing the buck. Why should I contact Mossel Bay municipality if my FNB account works?? Surely they cannot advertise a service that’s not working?? Is it possible to get some answers to these questions Thanks
