FNB level 5 eBucks promotion falsely advertised and should be corrected...

So I have opened this FNB Gold account about 2 months ago, but I opened it from seeing the promotion to start at level 5 reward for 2 months and get 2 months extra for every extra product. This promotion was/is on the website. So I went to the branch and opened an Gold account and Gold credit account. But then they put me on level 1. So I called ebucks and they said that FNB handles the promotion, so she put the complaint through to FNB. They told me that if I go to tcs and c's that it will only happen if a consultant calls me. So I won't be placed on level 5 according to the ad. This is not right, as no where it stated this. It does not even state on the ad "tc's and c's apply" which must state on the ad if it does apply as in this case. The consultant at the branch was also not able to tell me that I won't get it via her, someone must call me and I specifically asked her...This should be very very clearly stated as it is very misleading. Please look into the case, rectify it and help me. As the reason for opening the account was mainly due to the promotion, now it is falsely advertised...

Hi Naomi, please can you raise the complaint again, as what Natasha Naidoo explained to me is that since it is a new account(2 months old), the ebucks would update on the 8th of Aug to level 5 according to the promotion and on your side the promotion will be app**** to my account. But when I got my new eBucks then it did not in fact apply the promotion, as I just went from level 1 to level 3, not to level 5 such as in the promotion, although I am eligible to receive it. So please can Natasha perhaps look into the case again and give me a call. Thanks.

Hi Naomi, please can you ask Natasha Naidoo to update me on this again. As my reward level is on the same level still and I have not received any recent updates after the fault has been logged. Thanks
