2 weeks and still awaiting closure on my query!

We have recently travelled to Botswana by car. We stopped in Gaborone to fill up with petrol, but the attendants said that they did not accept Mastercard as their system was "down" The only VISA card which I had was my Business FNB card which I presented. They swiped and the transaction was declined, they then used another machine and swiped again with the same result. Another attendant mentioned that we can use Mastercard and I presented the card (from another bank) and the transaction went through. I've forwarded all the necessary information and followed up on numerous occasions without much assistance. Eventually I was notified that they have refunded 1x amount, not sure why only one was refunded and not the other? This process has taken more than 2 weeks and it is still not resolved. I emailed my business banker and the person who tried to assist from card division that I need closure, but this fell on deaf ears.

Reviewer Update
Thank you for your assistance, FNB has communicated with me and the issue has been resolved to my satisfaction. The error was the fact that the transaction was duplicated on the FNB Business Card and then the amount was validated again after initially being declined. We did not initially pick this up due to the difference in the exchange rate from Pula to Rands.
Apologies for the run-around due to the above reason and information and thank you for resolving the issue. I do however believe that it could have been explained better on my initial contact with card division.

Regards,
I'm happy again Jacques
