MTN terrible customer service and insider ********

My experience was that a "secret" upgrade deal was made available on 21st November. This information was available to those with access to insider information and others that it was leaked to. People received 40GB anytime plus 40GB night data plus 500 minutes for R199 on 21 and 22 November 2018. This was increased to R299 on 23 November. Meanwhile, half the data and a fraction of the minutes was offered to the rest of the people for twice the price (via email and sms). So people with access to this secret information get the above for R199 while the rest of us have to pay over double the price. I sent an email MTN requesting a better deal and was ignored. Why were all the MTN subscribers due for upgrade not offered this "secret" deal? This is extremely unfair to MTN customers as only those privy to insider information were able to obtain the above deal. I have tried to request the above deal through MTN stores and the retentions department but have been unsuccessful. I have sent several messages and emails but to no avail. I am highly disappointed with MTN

Good day Amir,  

Thank you for your post.  

Please accept our apologies for the lapse in service and the inconvenience caused to you as a result. 

Kindly note that the deals mentioned above for the 21st and 22nd were only offered to our 2016 Black Friday clients. Communication was only sent to qualifying customers.

Rest assured, it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you. 

Warm Regards,

I am a 2016 Black Friday client. The deal that was sms'd and emailed to me was not the above one. The deal that i was offered for R249 was 30GB with no minutes. I have email proof of this. The rest of the options were more than R249. I was NOT offered the R199 promo which is highly unfair.
