The Sweet Service Award goes to Discovery Vitality, for its gift of 2000 points for ‘2019 fitness top-up points’ and 12500 points for ‘2019 Vitality Health Check points’ received on 31 October, related to the fact that due to Lockdown we have not been able to do as much exercise as before, nor do all the points-earning health checks compared to 2019. Whatever the reason, I am not complaining, as the 14500 bonus points catapulted me into Diamond Status, the first time since joining Discovery four years ago.
The Sour Service Award goes to Checker’s 60 delivery service, for its misleading claim to deliver within 60 minutes of ordering. I ordered Whiskas cat jelly pouches from Checkers, due to its good price. Not only did they indicate immediately that they could only deliver the following morning at 9h00, but they took full payment for my order, only delivered four of the five boxes I ordered, of which only two were jelly and another two were gravy, their system clearly not showing stock availability as TakeaLot does! They did refund the overcharge.
