Discovery Vitality - Terrible Service, lack of responsibility & accountability.

went to Total Sports to buy the Gel Kayano 31 running takies R3899.95, i then activate the 25% active gear reward. At the till, the teller scans the code, i get a R0.50 discount. I ask the teller to cancel the sale and we restart it again, i now get R25 discount instead of R974.98 (R3899.95*25%). The teller indicates to me that this is a common problem for a majority of customers from Discovery Vitality. They advise me to make the purchase & call discovery and make them aware of the concern, so i do that on 1 July 2024. I call Discovery Vitality on 1 July 2024 and raise the concern, they call me back & indicate that the item is not part of the qualifying products, i indicate to them that it is, the store (Total Sports) confirmed that. 2 days later they call me and say the discount (R25) was correctly app**** meaning that, according to Discovery Vitality 25% of R3899.95 is R25 and not R974.98. I dispute that, and i also indicate to them that at Sportsmans Warehouse there is a "Vitality" sign on the running shoes, hence they are a qualifying product. I further go to a different Total Sports and take the same running shoes and scan them, use the vitality active gear benefit (25% discount) and it correctly reflects a correct discount of R974.98, i inform Discovery Vitality, they say they will get back to me. Yesterday i get a e-mail from Discovery Vitality further indicating that the product (running shoes) are not a qualifying product, yet the teller confirmed that it is, but Discovery Vitality refuses to solve the problem. Pathetic Service from Discovery Vitality who refuse to take responsibility & accountability.

Hi

I received your email, however it does not address my concern and you are not explicitly indicating how you have reached a different conclusion to mine, let me help you.

1. The colours you indicated caladon yellow & white deep shoes you have indicated do not tell me anything, im simply interested in the colour that I purchased falls within the allowed products as per you research of which you have conveniently failed to state, further to that you are not even aware what colour did I purchase, so what have you compared it to as there are many colours of the Assics Gel Kayano 31, in certain instances colours look the same with just a few distinct differences, so how did you reach your conclusion?
2. I made you aware that I went to a different total sport & scanned the exact shoe, gave the cashier the Vitality code and the system app**** the full discount 25%, how do you explain that. To me its simple the shoe falls within the category of Vitality discount, you have not responded to that when I raised again you conveniently kept quiet about it, kindly explain that to me.

This is very disappointing a unexpected from Vitality where you claim to have done research but come back with unvalidated conclusions without any evidence nor facts. I share or provide facts to you and you completely ignore them & do not provide any feedback on those facts, it's like you do not know what your doing.
