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

Spent my "annual discount savings" too early and now i am having black Friday fomo.
Looking specifically for a new coffee machine.
 
I asked before but didn't really get a proper answer.

I have a few saving accounts but I feel like it's not properly optimised for reward level points.

For example I have been saving up the tax saving goals and I get the points, but does the balance count for "Have an FNB Savings Account(s) with a term of longer than 8 days "?

The way I understand it:

Money Maximizer - (7 days or less)
32 Day Flexi Notice - (longer then 8 days)
Investment account individual - Doesn't count
Tax free cash - Doesn't count
Tax Free shares - Doesn't count

So I am looking at upgrading my account, I can move move money the last 3 to comply with the new limits of the new account.
Does it sound right?

Read the rules for tax free cash/shares, you get points for that too. Otherwise you make sense yes.

Not a stellar earning this time around, unsure why. But at least I'm on level 5

I took a good look with the calculator. I messed up one big points rule I was counting on and dropped a level.

I also wasn't given the points for going in nav>> home this quarter, which is BS because I do it every month. however no use trying to get those points because they wouldn't be enough to get me to level 5.

It kind of makes me wonder if I should record everything I do because if the points were enough to carry me over, it would be my word against theirs, and I doubt I would win. Worst month to drop a level. I am disappoint.

When I go to Nav home I select a house to view and have the “area report” emailed to me. That’s proof right there.

I always do a screen recording of the hoop jumping. Just in case.

Got more eB than the calculator indicates. Did we earn for Woolworths this month? There's no mention of that on the calculator. Amount kind of aligns if we did.

Yes, Woolies earn started with the allocations this month, so it seems we earned it but it doesn't yet show on the calculator

PC. Got the WW earn but as sjm confirmed above, there's no line on the calculator anywhere. Guess it's not implemented yet.

This got me - as I misinterpreted the table for Woolies. I spent just under the R6500 at WW, and therefore only got 3500eb - helps having the calculator visible. Few 100bucks more and would have got the 10000eb.
Will shift more spend to FNB card this month 🫡
