RIPPING US OFF AND GOINF AGAINST THEIR WORD!

DSTV offered us a discount on our monthly premium when I asked them if they can do a better deal for us! They then offered the following deals : @lynnthehoff We have accessed your account and we noticed that you have DStv Premium + PVR Access. Please note that we do not have pensioners discount. DStv stopped offering discounts to pensioners because they cannot guarantee that only pensioners will use the decoder. In addition, some people abuse the system because decoders are portable. They, however, offer a commercial subscription to retirement villages as units.

However, here's what we can offer your the following: -DStv Premium + Access Fee for 24 Months save -110.00 and pay R839. -DStv Premium + Access Fee + Showmax + Disney+ for 24 Months save R- 236.00 and pay R713.00. ~RTM

So I chose the R 713.00 deal obviously! After allot of back and forwards, I am told because we have three decoders on the package, the price is R 932.00…. This after me confirming over and over (I have the proof of said conversation), they explain that amount includes the insurances on the three decoders! I accept the deal and off we go… suddenly a couple of weeks later Disney plus subscription is gone? I query it, takes days… even though I asked why the Disney plus expires in a few weeks, I’m told it renews automatically monthly! It took ages to deactivate the Disney Plus!! Then I receive this sms stating debit order will Goff on the 1st of December for R 1059.99 !!! I contact DSTV, and lo and behold the mistake is that the premium is now MORE than what we were initially paying which was R 1068.00 a month!! This is what they message me now:

@lynnthehoff We have looked at the billing on your account and we see that the information provided regarding the amount to pay for the bundle is incorrect. We apologise for the inconvenience caused in that regard. Please note that when you bundle DStv Premium + Access Fee + Disney+ you will pay R 899 per month. You also have a 3rd decoder on XtraView for R 110 per month, your 3 decoders are insured (2 Exploras for R 35 per month each and the HD PVR decoder for R 39 per month) and Showmax is free for DStv Premium subscribers. This makes a total monthly subscription of R 1118. ~LES

Please just honor your offer made to us and be done with it. I do not understand how you can make an offer like that and then go back on your word? Now I have just received an email telling me our Showmax is coming to an end?? What the actual ???? DO OVER THIS!
