"Sorry, but we have had a technical issue"

I've been trying to apply for a Woolworths Rewards card for some time now, however, my applications have been continuously declined for reasons unknown to myself. I fit the requirements, my credit score reflects "very good" and this has been consistent since I opened my very first account.

What concerns and disturbs me is the fact that after I've given woolworths my application in order to open an account they've declined my request and just advised to apply again after 6 months without the courtesy of an explanation why it was declined, it was some time ago but I recall adding my husband's details as another's details is required on the form as well, unfortunately my application was declined once again for reasons unknown, and low behold, woolworths used the details I've provided them of husband and sent him a woolworths rewards card without him having to bother to apply, all that was required of him was that activates that card, I was disgusted by this and cut the card up.

Now, this has been bothering me for some time. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I guess I just can't let it rest. My husband is a white man and I am a brown woman, we +- earn the same salary and have similar expenses.

Out of curiosity I added the woolworths app to my mobile phone, attempted to apply several times might I add, gosh funny how after I add my ID number I get the same pop-up on my phone stating "Sorry, but we have had a technical issue", I don't believe in coincidences. I don't like playing victim but is it because I'm a coloured woman Woolworths??? I'm sorry my dad doesn't own a Vinyard however my ancestors slaved on them instead.
