2 Months - No membership cards

My wife and I joined discovery health from 1 January 2015. To date (2015.03.04) I have still not received medical aid cards.<br> <br> I called during January and was told that it would take 6 weeks. In the last week of Feb 2015 (more than 6 weeks) I called again. There was no reason given for the delay and they call centre agent requested a new card and I was told that I will received it in 3-5 working days via courier.<br> <br> I called again today (2015.03.04) and was told that the card will take a further 7 working days to be delivered as it first takes 3-5 working days to be delivered at head office. The call centre agent gave me a courier reference number but he cannot provide the actual courier company. So what use is a reference number?<br> <br> Discovery health has taken 2889 for health per month for 3 months for me (in addition the premium for life and vitality for a longer period) and has not been able to send a simple membership card!<br> <br> I've been told by the agents that in case of emergency I should show the certificate of membership that was emailed to me. Is this even practical in an emergency?<br> <br> what **** service. please rectify.

Hello shailesh108,

Thank you for speaking to me.

I confirmed that your membership cards were requested to be hand delivered to you and this was received today. I would like to offer you my sincerest apologies for the time taken in having this resolved. I addressed this matter with the respective management team so we can improve in our service delivery in future. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help address your query. You're welcome to contact me directly should you require any further assistance.

Kind regards
Bruce
