    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025

    Who else is stuck in the waiting room? Does FNB set out each year to please a handful of people while disappointing the entire remainder of their customer base? Don’t they see how that’s worse than doing nothing at all. It keeps trending toward bigger hype and worse delivery!

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025

    I haven't seen any deals either in spite of checking at several times throughout this week. This is increasingly looking like a tech failure on the part of FNB leading to another lame black Friday :mad: Why don't they just say when they'll have the deals and let everyone do their purchasing...

    Have some of you received your allocations for October or am I misunderstanding the above posts?

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024

    Forgive my lack of commitment to the cause. I will work harder. Lol precisely! But more importantly the calculator for me is not about whether I can keep track of what I've done, it's to understand whether they have properly captured/understood/reported what I've done. Nothing worse than having...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024

    How are folks able to track what's working? Are your in-app calculators reflecting any activity? I can only see last month's activities on the website, nothing on the app. It's a bit frustrating given we've only got a few days left of September to reach our October levels.

    Discovery Bank

    The foreign transactions fees are weird, as typically all fees (interchange, network fees, etc.) are passed on to the merchant. So it appears all the banks are double dipping on this. They receive somewhere in the realm of ~2% as the card issuer (this comes from the merchant) and then they're...

    Yes, can confirm this works on Apple pay. Just be sure to tap in and out with the same card.

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024

    Wow the discount caps are quite a serious devaluation of ebucks overall. This really hurts power users. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to remove ebucks transfers entirely, if they wanted to curtail the current practices? Now it seems there is an optimal amount of FNB card spend (earn...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

    Here's the tremendous irony in all this. eBucks actually has some really good specials on certain items. So how do they come away with so many unhappy customers? Because you have to be a &%$#ing medium to know when they will be up and nobody wants to log on at random times during a workday to...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

    The problem is that making sure you get the ebucks and levels also takes effort. That is a time cost over and above the bank fees you pay. None of that matter when you feel you got a really sweet deal every so often. It's not about adding up the cents, it's about a peaking experience that you...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

    Incredibly lame black Friday weekend from ebucks. I can recall a time when there were exciting deals that would make it feel worth it to save up eBucks for the year. That one item at a good price, is all you need to feel the program is worth it for the year. I think they need to rethink the...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022

    The problem is the timing. You would have had to act in the 12 seconds that that item was available on sale. I'm not sure why they take this approach. It is almost assuredly the best way to leave the greatest number of people disappointed. I cannot see how having to check the ebucks store...

    Has anyone struggled to get life insurance tier points? Issue seems to be wellness profile not picking up, despite completion. It's not showing in both areas where points can be earned.

    Didn't get life insurance points in both places! Apple Pay didn't count for FNB pay. Didn't get cash at Till points despite fusion card gathering dust. Dropped a level. Still awaiting a query on status points from May. What I don't understand is; aren't these things calculated by computers...

    Can any of the smart folks on here start a separate thread on how to maximise earn of Discovery miles now that they have this miles day? It really is the purchasing discount that lends value to a rewards currency.
