Vodacom, I want answers

They had a promotion till 7 March for a S21 Fe and a free tablet. The tablet has to be redeemed from the Samsung app. I upgraded on the last day of the promotion. The assistant even told me I am lucky as it is the last day. They helped me in store to download the app to redeem the tablet. Next day I receive an email from Samsung saying I do not qualify as the special ended a day before I upgraded. I emailed them back with a photo of the add that stated I upgraded during the promotion. Samsung then let me know the add I have is not applicable as I had to use the ones on their website??????? In other words the booklets from vodacom is false adverti*****t. I went to the shop that did my contract.. AND WAIT FOR THIS..... They now claim they are sorry this is between me and Samsung. The assistance even told me I must realize they only work there. They don't know the rules of promotions. HoW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU SELL SOMEONE SOMETHING CLAIMING A DAY LATER YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SELLING!!!!! I will not be leaving this here. I want a tablet as stated on the add. I saw on Helo Peter many had the same problem and then those that did qualify is not receiving the tablets. Is this a new way to **** vodacom and Samsung customers? I would never have taken the phone if it was not for the promotion.... THIS IS TOTALLY BULL!!! I want answers

After going to Vodacom Key West again, they promised to come back to me this morning g with answers. Needless to say, 17:15 I phoned them as they did not come back to me as promised. I asked to speak to the person who was supposed to phone me, but was told he will phone me back ASAP as he is not available at that moment. Mmmmmm .....it is 20:26 and I am still waiting.
