yup agreed so not as valuable as I thought.
Nedbank is crappy as greenbacks is you can get up to 2% so in actuality - Investec scores pretty low on rewards to effort (and money) ratio
At a high level - there are 5 reward tiers.
But from the looks of things - the majority of your greenbacks come from earning greenbacks on your credit card spend - and depending on which CC you go for (Amex etc) and your reward tier - you can get up to 2% back on your spend.
Earnings on fuel is...
Yeah ok so there is a R30.00 fee for simply having the product.
And hten if you use it it will be the R30 fee + R69.00 NCA fee (Toallying R99.00)
IMO?
The fusion product isnt worth it (I really dont like overdrafts anyway) - its probably worth just getting the Premier bundle (Cheque + CC) for...
isnt that a little deceitful on FNB's end? Arent they going to start charging a R69/m fee - whether you use the fusion credit or not - where in the past you only paid for it if you used it.
So the below is how to get to level 5 with least amount of FNB products:
Min Deposit of R16500 AND 10 Debit Transactions = 2000
3 Smart Budget Categories Check Credit Status Monthly = 250
Light Green or Dark Green Credit Status = 500
View Track My Rewards = 250
Grow your savings by R1400 = 500...
so basically your earn rate on your cash spent per level is:
Leve 1 = 0.25% Cash back
level 2 = 0.5% Cash back
level 3 = 0.714% Cash back
Level 4 = 1% Cash Back
Level 5 = 1.25% Cash back.
(This does not account for points earned from qualifying balances aka balances of your loan)
Ive done some digging on the investec front.
The basics ive learnt so far:
So what I know so far:
1. At a minimum - you earn 1 point for every R20.00 you spend (on qualifying transactions)
2. Qualifying transactions = using your card for purchases, specific debit orders,
3. 1 point for every...
eish - you mus be in the know then.
I tried to read through the ucount rewards system on their website - and it was a pretty rough read - I left their site not being able to recall my own name let alone understanding how their system works.
Honestly thats kinda another gripe of mine. The Ebucks criteria really dont favor an individual.
1. I literally am excluded from the FNBY - I don't have kids (nor married). (Same reason I cant earn EB on the netflix expense)
2. I dont have a mortgage (yet) - so quite literally cant benefit.
So...
You are right - and I'm definitely not loyal to FNB (or any company for that matter) - I think what a lot of people take exception to is - if the rewards system is exceeding what they had budgeted for - there are more efficient cuts that can be made that I think a lot of people would care less...
