Treated like Cattle-Class Citizens

Awful. My card expires in May, during lockdown. I'm used to new cards being couriered, but instead I get a single SMS on 1 JULY telling me they've delivered a new card to Greenstone - they never asked if that was convenient for me, just said it was delivered there. No further instructions, to time limits or fees mentioned. I go to Greenstone after lockdown is eased a bit and the queue is around the block - I don't have time that day. I return another time, get into the branch quickly, but then have to sit there waiting for an HOUR for such a simple transaction. When the slow and disinterested teller finally sees us, she tells me the card has been destroyed, as there's a time limit that they failed to mention. She says she'll have to order another one, which she does, but fails to explain that there will be an almost-R150 charge AS IF I LOST MY CARD. I only discovered this charge on my bank statement. I've been using Instant Money for 3 months now, because I don't have a bank card.

Yeah, yeah, you pay lip service to how sorry you are and how important customer service is, blah blah, usual BS, but no one has contacted me here, or responded to my message that I sent directly to you. "Prestige" client my bum. You have lost a customer.
