Terrible and ********* customer service

I closed my Discovery account earlier this year after sending multiple emails and receiving lies and false promises from Discovery. It took weeks to find someone competent who closed it. I was told that if the account was debited it would reopen, NOT if the card was credited. I was spontaneously refunded to my old Discovery card for a recalled product I got on Amazon earlier this year. The account was reopened and I was sent a statement. Amazon told me to contact Discovery. Despite multiple emails to Discovery since Monday I cannot get a reply from any accounts. I have even tried them on Facebook Messenger but I’m being ignored there too. I can’t access the funds because my profile no longer exists with Discovery and the message on screen is that I am not authorized to access my profile. I now live in the USA and I desperately want to be rid of Discovery forever. They can keep the funds in the account. I just want it CLOSED. I will not ever recommend Discovery for anything and regret being a loyal client for years.

Hi Kyla M,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Kindly note, the reason your profile doesn’t exist and why you can’t access the funds is due to your account still being closed.
However due to the balance change in your account, it triggered statements to be emailed to you.
Please confirm if we can use the same banking details to refund the credit balance to you? As for us to refund you, we will have to open your account, refund you then we close your account again.
Regards
Jaco

Good day,

Thank you. I am not sure which banking details you have but my other SA accounts are still active so whatever details you have should still be correct.
