Santam

The Santam Claims Card is flawed. Can't purchase anything online including preferred suppliers. Have to purchase a replacement laptop which is so crucial as I work from home and the Santam Claims Card is a total letdown. Consultants each give different answers to the challenge while I patiently wait losing money. Still waiting for 3d pins that fail each time and cause the card to be blocked. Rather pay the claim into my bank account as dobe previously!!!!

Good day Mr Carolus,

Thank you for your review above.
We believe you have posted on Social media as well.

We were informed that Vuyiswa Magadla had been in contact with you last week Thursday, discussed your concerns and notified you that the claims card only works with Take a lot online store where you tried purchasing from the iStore online platform.

You then told her you would be going into the physical store to make the necessary purchase.

I will request they make contact with you again to discuss and assist.

Kind regards

Good Day

This was the response to my first call.

The answer above would have been satisfactory if I was indeed not able to purchase anything online. For example, I tested whether I could purchase R10 airtime online and it worked. I was only able to do this after several calls and a consultant at Tutuka who advised that the claims card online shopping problem exists because Santam needs to capture my cellphone number in +27 format - I was able to receive a 3d pin immediately.

Furthermore, the brochure received with the claims card does not indicate anywhere that there are exclusions (that one can only purchase online at Takealot) .

Thirdly, I went in to the store but the item is only available for online purchase.

There are too many conflicting responses and I still am not able to purchase from a preferred supplier!
