Discovery Insure vouchers not honoured if their system glitches

<p>Rewards voucher issued for good driving. Expiry 21 Feb. Tried to redeem on 21 Feb at Vidaworld Vida e cafe. Vida e Cafe was offline to Discovery so they could not redeem. Requested extension of voucher due to Discovery system glitch blocking redemption of voucher. Discovery Insure refused - saying the voucher had expired before I tried to redeem it. So 10h00 on 21 Feb is apparently not 21 Feb? I have previously used vouchers on the expiry date with no problem - has reality shifted sice then?</p>

Escalated via email with Discovery Insure CEO Anton Ossip. He rep**** in less than 10 mins that he would resolve and get back to me. Refreshingly different attitude to his Call Centre which faces the public...

Thanks for responding. This has resulted in the re-issuing of the voucher and the logging of an enhancement for the wording of the vouchers to specify an expiry time in future.

I am very impressed with the CEO response and intervention. Thanks Anton.
