Worst customer service ever

I am beyond frustrated with the disgraceful service I have received from Discovery. Since the very start of my pregnancy, every single interaction I’ve had has been an exhausting and infuriating experience.

Each time I contact your consultants, I am given a different answer. Not once, but every single time. When I ask to escalate to a senior, I am met with attitude, as though I’m the problem for daring to ask for clarity.

The chat consultants are even worse – they copy and paste generic responses straight from your guides, which I am more than capable of reading myself. It is painfully clear that they have no product knowledge, no training, and no interest in helping customers.

Frankly, this is the worst customer experience I have ever had. I cannot believe that a company of Discovery’s size and supposed reputation can operate with such incompetence. Government departments actually provide better service than Discovery. That says everything.

This is completely unacceptable. I expect this complaint to be escalated immediately, and I want a senior manager to contact me directly to address how such shockingly poor service is even possible in your organisation.

I am absolutely appalled at the level of service I continue to receive. It is not just bad — it is outright disgraceful.

I have now had to go back three separate times to fight for claims that should have been paid out without any dispute. Each time I am forced to waste my time, while Discovery drags its feet and makes excuse after excuse.

To make matters worse, I was explicitly promised a call from Alisha (Misa’s manager) regarding my last query. I am still waiting. No call, no follow-up, no accountability, just silence. This is beyond unprofessional; it is contemptuous.

It is inconceivable that a company of Discovery’s size can operate with such blatant disregard for its customers. Your consultants give contradictory answers, your so-called escalation process is a joke, and there is zero consistency or reliability in how claims are handled.

This is not simply poor service. It is systemic incompetence and neglect.

I expect direct contact from someone who has the authority and decency to take responsibility. Anything less will confirm what is already obvious: that Discovery does not care about its clients, only about taking their money while making them beg for their benefits.

And again I have yo resort to HelloPeter.

I have never experienced such shocking and unprofessional service! Onica and Danielle have been absolutely useless in assisting me with my cashback query — I’ve been following up since 10 September, and a month later I’m still being told to “wait.” Every time I ask to speak to a manager, I’m passed from one consultant to another pretending to be a manager. This is dishonest, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable. It’s clear that customer service means nothing here.
