Samsung Members "Free" TV promotion will cost you time and sanity

Samsung offered a free TV with the purchase of some of their devices. I duly obliged, however the process has been tedious (at best). The verification process started in October and is yet to be concluded. It looks like a gimmick and there are no TV's. I repeatedly sent supporting documentation and stopped receiving replies from the "Verifications department". It appears that the entire department is one Kirsten Olifant, after all the *** mailbox resolves to "Kirsten Olifant". I've been frustrated by Kirsten, but if Kirsten alone is the ENTIRE department, then I guess I'd have to be empathetic and conclude that Samsung South Africa has no respect for their customers nor do they respect one of the biggest brands in the world!

Reviewer Update
Three weeks later: After more back and forth with repeated requests documentation I have sent multiple times, I am no further in the process. This is groundhog day. This can't be incompetence. Something is terribly wrong with this promotion or with the staff involved. I think this matter needs to be taken to the consumer commission now. I would also encourage other endless complainants here to do the same.
