The worst reward program. I have to spend R10 000.00 on refilling my car for a mere R100 reward.

The overall experience was positive, from ordering the product to activation. However, while the sign-up process clearly mentions the router delivery fee, it fails to disclose that you'll be responsible for a pro-rata fee immediately after activation. This detail is not explicitly stated during sign-up. I've been dealing with Lunga, a bot, who lacks customer service and empathy in addressing my concerns about the immediate pro-rata fee. I'm willing to pay the pro-rata fee along with the current month's billing at the end of the month, but it's frustrating that the immediate pro-rata fees are hidden in the terms and conditions. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this with Lunga, I was only directed to the T&Cs, which I found unhelpful. This experience has left me unable to recommend Afrihost due to Lunga's inadequate support.
As a new customer, I'm still waiting for my bank card. Despite receiving multiple emails and SMS notifications that my card is ready for collection at the branch, each visit confirms that it’s still in transit since July 16th. Today, I contacted the contact center and was directed to the courier company, which informed me that there is no delivery scheduled for me and they don’t have any records of my card. Given the poor service I’ve experienced, I’m considering switching to Standard Bank. I initially moved from Capitec to FNB, but the service here has been incredibly disappointing.
As a new customer, I'm still without my bank card, and the situation has been incredibly frustrating. Initially, my card was mistakenly sent to the Gateway branch in Durban instead of the Cape Gate branch, causing a week's delay. After waiting another week with no updates from FNB, I visited the bank and discovered that my card had never left the Gateway branch and that the person handling it was on leave, with no backup in place. What frustrates me further is having to constantly follow up. The bank agent assured me that my card would be delivered by Wednesday. However, on Tuesday, I received an automated SMS and email saying my card was ready for collection. I drove 32 km, only to be told that these messages were automatic and my card wasn't actually there. The Cape Gate agent promised my card would be delivered on Wednesday, but I received no communication about another delay. On Thursday, she assured me my card would be ready for collection either on Friday, August 2nd, or Monday, August 5th, but I received no further updates. I recently got another automated SMS and email saying my card has arrived, but I’m reluctant to drive another 30 km only to find out it’s another automated message. Overall, my experience with FNB has been extremely poor.
I want to express my frustration and disappointment regarding the delivery of my new account card. I app**** for the card approximately 3-4 weeks ago and was assured of delivery within 3-5 business days. Despite this, I have yet to receive the card. A consultant initially assured me that the card would be delivered promptly. However, upon returning to Cape Town from Johannesburg, I visited the branch only to discover that my card was at a branch in Durban. The branch consultant promised that someone would contact me to arrange the card's collection, but another week has passed with no follow-up. Today, I went to the branch once more, and once again, no one seemed to know the whereabouts of my card. I was merely asked to request a new card, which will supposedly take another 3-5 business days. This continuous lack of communication and inefficiency has forced me to transfer my salary to another bank just to access my funds. This experience has been extremely disappointing and inconvenient. I have never encountered such poor service from any other bank and am now questioning the level of service I can expect as a new client.
After a month of trying to set up my application, I’m constantly encountering issues with additional documents or errors on the application. I contacted the call center and spoke with Tishani from the new business team in PE, who was unhelpful and unable to provide any meaningful assistance. I then spoke with one of her colleagues, explaining that I had already submitted the newly requested documents but did not have a reference number. I called three different numbers trying to reach the medical aid team, but none of them could transfer me to the correct department. I’ve repeatedly sent the required documents through their website. The agency offered to help but asked me to note down their email address. I questioned why they couldn’t simply email me directly, as they already have my email on file. It’s frustrating because most customers don’t have a pen and paper handy to jot down information, which can lead to mistakes with names and other details. Tishani seems to lack basic customer service skills and needs to learn to listen and understand, rather than just responding. When I requested to speak with a manager, the agent merely transferred me to a colleague instead.
I received a call from a debt collection agency claiming that I owe money to Supersonic, which is ridiculous. I canceled my account in August 2021, and their team even collected the router. My account was fully paid, yet it has been turned over to a debt collection agency. Despite presenting all my statements and payments to the agency, they showed no interest. Their sole focus seems to be on collecting money that I do not owe to Supersonic. I would advise caution with this service provider
Evon provided excellent service. However, the client/credit provider (Nimble) keeps changing the installment amount, so I have to submit the same query every month or two.
