Rewards offered - Said to be Claimed - Never given
Gooday DSTV. I currently have the compact stream package. I was offered a reward to have compact plus for a month. i claimed the reward and my reward history show this. I was told the free upgrade would happen at my next billing cycle, which was the 6 of October. My package has not upgraded to the compact plus. I called the DSTV centre, and was told they cant see any rewards on my account and would pass to finance. Ok then. Never heard another thing. Think this is so poor, that i am offered something which i accept, and then need to chase DSTV to make it happen. Can you tell me what is happening with this?
DSTV response on FACEBOOK Hi Terry, Please confirm the following details for security purposes: -Id/passport number -Residential address -Initials & surname of the account holder so that we may be able to assist you further.
Please send us screenshot of the reward as well.
My Response - this is after frustration and also calling the call centre - who said it would be escalated. (Screenshot of the Reward was provided) I still have them
There are the screenshots for you to see. I have provided my customer number and do not feel comfortable passing my ID and other personal info over social media. I will raise this on Hello Peter as its a blatant lie. No reward has been given to me, yet the portal says so and even gives the value. I will also discontinue with your services at my next billing cycle, as i feel this is ridiculous. I don't need to chase DSTV for your broken system. I have already called your service centre and provided the agent with all information required. Please do not contact me further as i have wasted enough time with DSTV

My Next response
I have cancelled my package with Dstv. Please refrain from contacting me again. I am not interested. Apologies for attempting to rectify this with you and contacting Dstv again. I am very Happy with my decision.
I did cancel at this point - but starting missing live football - so decided to join again and just forget all this nonsense, and lie that i received a reward, and will never try to claim the "reward" again.
then received this:
We have escalated the query and our technical team will resolve the matter. We apologise again for the inconvenience. ~KM
NOTHING was EVER done !!
Sharing to help other realize you wasting your time with DSTV and their "Rewards"
from my Phone it takes me to the PLAYSTORE and shows me the app i have installed MY DSTV. So i click open and look at rewards, and i have three, which are not really rewards and cant be claimed as i have tried. the compact plus i was offered says valid on 06/09/2022 which was always there after tried to claim the reward the first time as they give it to you annually
Then i go to My DSTV on computer and see it doing the same thing. Mailbox tells me same message as SMS , but no rewards can be claimed.
DSTV your systems are broken and i have wasted hours trying to get the reward you offered , which is compact plus for a month. A few more channels than i already have. I feel very frustrated and my minds blown. I WILL NOT ACCCEPT or entertain YOUR "REWARDS" anymore. YOU are Lying blatantly and i am sure there is some kind of consumer protection for this. My time is far too valuable to keep doing this.
