DSTV Operational Inefficiency

I was awarded a 65+ age discount of R83.90 on my DSTV a/c – active for 4 mnths without problem - R83.90 being 10% of R839 DSTV Premium base charge (excl R110 access fee). On 26 Oct instead of discounting monthly charge they added R83.90 to my a/c. This after I called in on 14 Oct & advised of upcoming error charge that I picked up on MyDSTV. I received apology & was advised that it would be corrected. It was not corrected, & I was charged the undiscounted amt + R83.90 (so in effect R167.80 too much). I made contact (with TIM & YK) via DSTV Facebook Messenger & spent over an hr trying to explain problem, to no avail. I requested escalation & they asked me for proof of reward & copy of Ts&Cs. Their team appears to have no knowledge of the rewards nor access to details. The inefficiency is beyond belief. Still waiting for call from them.

I have had no feedback at all.... So have just asked for status update on DSTV Facebook Messenger. Currently chatting to RM & seems to have no idea what the complaint is about - "Hi please kindly confirm when did you take up the subscription price lock plan ? ~RM". DSTV your support team seems to have no knowledge of yr Rewards programme and your MyDSTV accounts page shows no indication of Rewards discounts... I cannot believe that DSTV cannot see the deep trouble that they are in with people ditching them due to the inefficiencies and the ease in just switching to Netflix, Britbox, Prime etc....
