Claim Nightmare!

While it was fairly convenient to take out the insurance online and get it activated, I would not recommend this insurance to anyone. I have a cellphone damage claim that no matter how many times I asked for an update or feedback on my claim, they do not respond or promise to respond within 48 hours but alas, it does not happen. And this for a cellphone damage claim that is less than R10 000, and yet it has note been more than 2 months from when my claim was submitted. I cannot imagine how much more frustrating this would be for bigger claim like for car insurance... And yet they continue sending me emails that I must insure my car with them... Even if you were to answer on that one email where they seem to responsive when looking for new clients, the minute you mention an outstanding claims, those emails stop for a bit and then start right off again in a few days from a different email... Nope!

Hi Thulile, I can most certainly say this is the fastest reply I have received from Pineapple in the last 2 months since my claim... I just got a call as well. Skeptical to believe this will be sorted as committed on the call but I guess we will see.

FYI, before I posted this complaint I emailed the person who was handling my claim and contacted the whatsapp helpline several times, today included, and no response was received. I guess this is the only way to get hold of you guys.

Hi Thulile,

Guess what? I was right to be skeptical of the commitment made by the consultant who called on the 13th. He said my claim was approved and that I will get documentation in this regard by the next business day... Today is the 16th, and I received nothing.
I have also sent an email today to the complaints address u provided, but forgive me for not believing it will yield any results as my experience with pineapple has been tarnished!
