Mine go back to when I signed up in June. But the miles multiplier is gone. All the entries are marked ‘base miles’ though, so maybe something is coming? I only got 509 miles which I can convert into R42 if I want.

I don't see any miles on my app,not even the old miles? Only thing I can think of is discovery never debited me my annual miles fee in may for R440or whatever it was, they told me don't activate it as there won't be a new miles coming out, so will we still be paying an annual mile fee?
For those that got the new miles did you
Pay your annual miles fee?

I hadn’t paid the annual fee by the time I moved over either, so that can’t be the reason. I don’t think there’s a fee for miles anymore either, it should be included in the Vitality Money premium. I take it you’re running the latest version of the app?

Did I get backdated miles from the time U got your cc?

So is this correct spend R1500 give you 100 miles which is about R10?

That's how they get you. Personally, no phone is worth increasing my credit limit for.
Why does your credit limit matter?

If you are disciplined about it and use the same amount that you would have anyway there is no downside to having a higher limit.

Would be great if someone can confirm this. If this is the case it's slightly better than ebucks' 0.5% rate (once capped) but worse than ww's 0.75% (gold) / 1% (black).

My miles transactions go back to Oct, but I spent them all when I bought an overseas ticket in June. From July onwards it’s only Base miles. This the amount I’m on now. Converts to about R32

I'm not getting the 15:1 ratio. Mine is like 50:1 which is ridiculous.

True but at least ebucks have extra reward for spend at checkers .
Not happy about no miles multiplyer :(

Click on the transaction, you will see the earn rate. I've phoned them a few minutes ago and was told there is now a flat earn rate of 1%. I asked if there is any way to increase but she didn't know.

I got my miles from the start, but the earn ratio is weird. So far, this is what I've determined (Data set is still a bit incomplete)::
R30-R97 - 1 mile
R98-R150 - 2 miles
R150-R230 - 3 miles
R230-R299 - 4 miles
R300-? - 5 miles
R400?-R499? - 7 miles
R500? - 8 miles
R576? > 9 miles
R600? > 10 miles
R1200.20=18 miles
R1214.10=19 miles
The only that is clear, I'm not earning 1 mile for every R15 spent.

Thanks. I checked, and my earn rate is 1.538%

This is on Bronze, Gold Card
