I Can't redeem These codes, i spent ₹290 unnecessary today. If your not giving real discount then why your people providing fake one.

@BellaWi 👆This is irritating.

Dear friend, 

   I faced similar problem when I placed an order of 295 with swiggy. Actually to avail this offer the total bill amount should be just greater than 300 and excess amount should be paid online! In my second attempt I placed an order of rs 330 after discount of rs 300, I paid only rs 30 through net banking.  Hope this helps.

Local Guides come in all shapes and in all sizes. 

The first perk for being a level 5 Local Guide was one Google drive TeraByte storage. This is good for nothing as not all people want that. So, it wasn't a perk-fect token of appreciation for me. 

Then came the Swiggy code perk. This is a kind of  stone age app. You apply the Google Local Guides code and the payment bill say successfully applied and asks me to hit Proceed to pay Rupees zero button and then gives a shocker. Order placed, please pay Rupees 300. 

There's no order cancel button. I tried calling them and the automated message asks me to wait. And, this is not a free call and telecom company is charging me for each second I wasted while being on hold. Then, the customer executive talks to me with his half knowledge. He says cancellation charges will be applied  ( rupees 50)

Please note that I contacted the customer executive within  a fraction of minute and paid for the phone contact from my own pocket. When I escalated the matter to Swiggy they said they take user's feedback seriously and we know that where that cookie cutter response takes us. 

Then, they said I need to use online payment method if I wish to avail the code offer. I'm not a guy with bank balance. If I want to buy something online  I use cash on delivery option. And, why should I use online payment method when I have a code and buying within the spending limit? 

I'm disappointed with the one-of-a-kind perk from Google team. 

Please avoid the hassle for availing such program benefit should you continue this in future. 

Thanks
