Apple Watch/Discovery Card requirement roadblock

In trying to obtain an Apple Watch for my daughter on the Vitality offer I was informed I needed to have a Discovery Gold credit card (which I did not have). I went through the application process to obtain the card (a seamless, efficient process). I then phoned Vitality again to obtain the watch, believing I now met all the relevant criteria, only to be told that the account needs to be open for 3 months before I can apply for the watch. This was never conveyed to me when I first inquired and was told I needed a Discovery credit card. It seems Discovery have misled me and will be able to charge 3 months of card charges for a card I don't need.... I am now debating whether to wait out the 3 months or cut my losses and close the account. Discovery should make you aware of this requirement upfront! I find it shocking that they don't.
