False advertising with Vodacom "Unlock Summer" swipes.

I won a voucher - "R50 off if I spend more than R250 at Dischem" Voucher ***. I went to Dischem use it on the morning of 8th Jan 2021 before date / time of expiry and I could not use it when trying to use it for R419.80 at Dischem Lynwood Lane retail centre. I even had the Dischem manager coming to have a look and confirm my voucher is valid and not expired as per what the system says (He took a phone of the voucher in case you Vodacom contacted them. I had the same issue at Wimpy for a free soft serve on that same day and the expiry date was in this week (after the weekend) - days before the expiry date

Reviewer Update
Exactly 7 days later, and I am still waiting for somebody to phone me after your comment "that a consultant will make contact with you in due course to assist with your query.".
Is this what we call Customer service? Am I not going to get a reply why Vodacom gives me a voucher and then it gets rejected when it is still valid within the time frame?
