Sick of Standard Bank Ucount Rewards

I am a new Standard Bank account holder and up until 2 weeks ago I converted my points on ucount rewards to vouchers for checkers and discovered I am unable to receive one time pins on my cell phone. I contacted the call Centre explaining this and until today have been escalating and escalating this query where each time I explain that it is not my problem that I am unable to get a one time pin or the purchased vouchers to my phone. Yet each time my query just gets escalated. I asked them to make an alternative to send the vouchers another way via email and they refuse to do that. Surely this is a one time situation and discretion in this regard can be done in order to navigate this situation. At this moment in time I am irritated and frustrated!! So am I meant to change my device cause I can't get the communication I am meant to get from standard bank via sms??? The frustration is also coming from speaking to an agent who constantly is saying she will escalate it but in actual fact this is more than likely something she does not have the capacity to understand. She can't listen to me explaining it's not working all her suggestions. 2 weeks to wait for a voucher which is due to me from my own money is unacceptable and no alternate arrangement is being made!!!

So after my Hello Peter post, Standard Bank called me Saturday with so much actual effort and I received another call yesterday twice. Long story short I was told to call my service provider of my network to check if there are any blocked messages on my phone, which there is not. I had to buy airtime and load it on my phone to call my service provider, again another thing which Standard Bank thinks is my responsibility to fix. MTN confirmed they have nothing blocked on my network at all. My device has been checked out also and nothing on DNC lists either. So I get sms messages from Standard Bank telling when my query is logged and then resolved , but it hasnt been resolved at all. There is no apparent way they can send the voucher again. the consultant who also quite frankly doesnt understand the query tells me according to the system the voucher was succesfully sent and it can only be sent via sms. of course according to Standard Bank its been sent but what didnt you understand, that I have not received the dam vouchers to my phone. maybe its just a mental block that they fail to undertstand, while they still have my vouchers I can see nothing of. why can they not even read out the voucher links for me over the phone, its a secure line isnt it!!!! Pathetic and very hard to understand why they cannot fix, what I dont have by giving me the voucher details over the phone, via email, in the age of technology are they basing there entire service on a sms system???????
