    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027

    I also saw it there, made sure to do both and still didn't get the points. Frustrating.

    My understanding is that transactions via your Fusion card would also count, as this rule looks at the actions on the account. It just wants to see 10 qualifying debit transactions on the account (i.e. you using the account).

    Five of the best Prime Day deals in South Africa

    I think Takealot price matches on discounts against big competitors. I've seen the same on One Day Only, Takealot generally discounts products to the same price as is available there on the day the product is on special at ODO. I don't think Takealot would be giving you those specials if they...

    FNB announces enhancements to its eBucks Rewards loyalty programme

    FNB does not send any links via email. It's an anti-phishing measure (i.e. if you receive an email supposedly from FNB with a link in it, don't click it as they didn't send it). It's painful to work with.

    The average commuting motorist in South Africa would save roughly R60 per day driving an electric car at current fuel prices

    I compared both the R530k one and the R600k ones. It's disingenuous to compare pricing of vehicles which are significantly different, you need to compare like for like. A comparison of the Swift to the Geely E2 or BYD Dolphin Surf would have been more accurate, even though it still wouldn't be...

    The average commuting motorist in South Africa would save roughly R60 per day driving an electric car at current fuel prices

    The Suzuki Swift is not equivalent to a BYD Dolphin. If you're going to compare cars and car prices, you need to compare cars that are roughly equivalent (specs, size, features etc). The closest vehicle to a Dolphin Standard which I could spec (in terms of space, features etc) was a VW Golf...

    Different vouchers might be supplied by different providers, so it's possible that certain vouchers work whilst others error out, if some of the providers are having issues.

    Geely E2 selling like hotcakes in South Africa

    Until recently the separate Geely divisions ran totally autonomously, so this doesn't necessarily follow.

    Many popular hybrids in South Africa lack a safety feature that could soon become mandatory

    In other words, it's useless / stupid / laughable until it directly affects you.

    Geely is launching its EX2 EV in South Africa this month

    What new car can you get for R168k today?

    Why you should buy an electric car in South Africa

    They should have compared the BYD Dolphin to a VW Golf rather than Polo. I believe the Dolphin's natural market competitor (in terms of size, space, power etc) is the Golf

    Did anyone else have trouble getting past the address screen on the iStore partner store on the 15th? Was anyone able to checkout with a discounted product on the iStore, and if so roughly what time did you check out? If you failed to check out, please indicate roughly what time you had issues?

    Are massive fuel price increases enough to get you to go electric?

    What's the equivalent 2026 BMW X3 M Sport priced at? The comparison I'm seeking is between getting an EV and an equivalent ICE. If the 2026 X3 M Sport is also near R1.36m then you're no worse off from purchasing an EV compared to the ICE, if there is a significant price difference then you would...
