No response to emails + call center agents with inconsistent information

No surprise with the rating of this company. Each consultant you speak to gives you a different response to the same query.

My husband was a main member of a polmed membership and I was a beneficiary as his spouse. Upon his passing I was told that the existing membership needs to be closed and a new membership with myself as the member and sole beneficiary needs to be opened, and this was duly done. When the new membership was opened/registered I was informed by the consultant based at the Durban office in Musgrave that received and processed the new membership forms, that in 3-5 working days I would receive a membership certificate via email (I had to ask the call center to email me this as the membership confirmation email didn't have the certificate attached) and a new membership card will be posted.

I desperately need a new physical card as I live in a small town where most of the doctors don't accept the electronic card. After calling multiple times and being told different reasons why I haven't received my card, I have received an email (enquiry query number 030221QF0SHX.) from polmed saying cards are only posted to a member when there are changes on membership. Does my case not qualify as a change on membership??? No response has been received for the reply I sent further to this

Reviewer Update
STILL HAVEN'T RECEIEVED MY CARD, EVEN AFTER I WAS CALLED BY THANDI WHO SAID MY CARD WILL BE POSTED TO ME. HOW DO YOU SEND AN EMAIL WITH AN OFFICIAL COMPANY LETTERHEAD AND INFO, SAYING THAT YOU CONFIRM SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS UNTRUE? I THINK IT'S TIME TO CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE IF I'M RECEIVING SUCH HORRIBLE SERVICE OVER A MINOR ISSUE, I HAVE A FEELING I'LL ENCOUNTER WORSE WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHER!
