Discovery's Vitality drive is the worst rewards programme out there

A friend visiting used my car on 30/10/2022. I only saw two days later that 10 points were deducted for that day as my cell phone was with me and obviously not in the car with the driver. I do not agree that I should be penalized for someone else's driving!!! I first tried to mark the trip as Passenger, but that option was greyed out for those two trips on the day. I then tried to send e-mail (no longer working), then WhatsApp a couple of times (lady told me she does not know the Vitality Drive product and can't assist), then probably four or more times through the Discovery website chat (where people just don't bother to chat after they connect and the chat gets closed due to inactivity or they just told me you can no longer mark a trip as passenger even though I saw that the option was still available for my other trips). Really bad service, no solutioning and VERY frustrating programme where you get penalized for other people's driving or in this case, for someone using my car. I have raised this issue with Discovery before, but they obviously just don't care as nothing changed!!!!!

As I said before - worst reward programme EVER!!!! How on earth can you think it is acceptable to be penalized for another driver's behavior????? I am the one paying the premium!!! Really not acceptable and this will make us go back to Outsurance. Really VERY UNFAIR and extremely onerous programme that Discovery has. Will not recommend it to anyone ver (and this is not the first time I raised this issue. Really VERY UNFAIR

Obviously not as I made the same comments before and absolutely nothing has changed: How can I be penalized AT ALL if I am not driving or not even in the car (you even penalized me when my car went in for a service and the guys were driving it!!!!!!!). NOTHING has changed and I still think it is a very unfair programme. This is my view and we have been considering going back to Outsurance. Please don't reply again as I am really not interested in you pretending to listen to customer's view, but nothing changes (or to just be told this is the way it is and your problem).
