<p>HelloPeter.....and Discovery</p> <p> </p> <p><br />So here is my story.....</p> <p> </p> <p><br />I do not need a R 14 500 credit limit, actually I don't need the finances at all. I only requested this because of Discovery Vitality poor communication with regards to its policy changes when it come to the Apple watch upgrade. </p> <p> </p> <p><br />When I first activated my Apple watch the requirements was R 10 000 credit limit. My credit limit at the time was R 25 000 (please note i have never missed a payment in 8 years). In February i decided reduce my credit limit as i didn't need the R 25 000. So i drop my credit limit to R 10 000 because that all i needed for the watch. At this stage no one had informed me of the policy change. </p> <p> </p> <p><br />Then came along this wonderful "upgrade your watch by settling your existing one" when i called for the settlements amount, i was not informed of the policy change to R 15000. I settle the watch at R 2200. The the rest is self explanatory. </p> <p> </p> <p><br />So now I have had to apply for a new credit limit, which Discovery card was saying i don't earn enough vs my expenses, however they dont take into account my additional rental income, but then give me a credit increase after 3 weeks of fighting from R 10000 to R 14500 but then say i can get the extra R 500? This is after i app**** for R 15000. </p> <p>So in lue of this i asked them to reverse my Apple watch settlement so i can continue getting it for free, but you guessed it, they cant? </p> <p> </p> <p><br />So what can Discovery do???</p> <p> </p> <p><br />I have spoken to many people and all giving me the run around. I have every single discovery product available, a diamond member since 2007, and a discovery client since 2000, but this how they treat me. Not 1 contact person but impersonal service with no showing any logic, care, ownership or assistance. Just the same old email form "DiscoveryPlatinum Card" or "Barry Sundelson<br />Chief Operating Officer Discovery Vitality"</p> <p> </p> <p><br />So in light of this i would like to cancel or my products from discovery and will be stopping all debit orders as of the end of this month April 2017.</p> <p> </p> <p><br />Thanks for the last 17 years and i'm sad to see that you can have lost your personal attention that set your guys apart all those years. </p> <p> </p> <p><br />So HelloPeter, I will post the Automated reply I get from Discovery and let see if they cant actually cancel my products effectively. </p> <p> </p> <p><br />Kind regards</p> <p>Steve</p>

Still no further response from Discovery. No tellphone call, no feedback, only one department explaining how cancellation processes for the product works, that it. Not even any response for my emails requesting cancellation. Next step is to take this Socially.
