Works lekker If you have both also. I mean I get 43% back at dischem from vouchers with ebucks.

is that getting dischem voucher thru ebucks only, or together with the discovery cc?

I am closing my disco credit card (old FNB one ) .i am generally good at cost benefit analysis . Discovery pass on their increased losses or less profits to your rewards . Too complicated now and only only benefits on top tier where I would question why you not at a private bank

Please do. The more people leave the likely discovery will change things back.

Just got cash back, thought it would be miles

Me too it was. Just 70 bucks though.

Yes you’re right. I have one of those cards too. R7,50 gives you 1 Avios. At some places it’s R5 = 1 Avios. It’s nice to know that I can convert DM to Avios if I desperately need to.

Received mailers 2 years ago that Avios has migrated from SA as well?

Yes Avios branch in SA is no longer, you can't earn via kulula , however you can still earn and redeem them flying on BA comair using avis and earn via all their international partners

Exactly! Same strategy that I have. I don’t think I’ll move everything over to DiscoveryBank anytime soon. EBucks is very profitable for me.

Avios, on its own yes. But British Airways still uses Avios. And ABSA offer a credit card where you earn Avios at a very good rate. There are actually 5 airline programs that all use Avios: BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Air Italy, Vueling (low cost Spanish airline). They’re all part of IAG (International Airline Group). If you know how, you can move all your Avios around between the 5 programs. Avios are still one of the cheapest ways to get from Joburg to Mauritius (if you can find availability).

Any sources I can refer to in terms of this? Thanks,

I already burned Avios on a trip to Mauritius a few years ago. Unfortunately just after they increase the VAT amount to R1k pp. Back then you could collect at BP, convert PnP points, Avis. There is no need for the BP Avios card anymore and difficult to earn points unless you fly (Avis does not allocate Avios on discounted contracts, only full price)

I’ll post a podcast soon. The FNB calculator really helps to see the sweet spots in terms of how to maximize eBucks. Takes some studying but it’s worth it. Checkers is a win. Also if you have a business account it’s a good idea to get that account to Level 5 too. The caps are higher. Not hard to do.

Only got 3. Plays instead of 4. Anyone get the 4th bonus play?

Got 55 on the game board but a a smoothie costs 150 miles. Where do we get the 100 goal points? And my 100 000 Discovery Miles from the Card are now suddenly reduced to the 1 500 Discovery Miles from Vitality. Anybody else as well?

can you post a pic of the game board? What is the max miles you can win?

Not much 300.

Not much 300. View attachment 767164

The average still seems less than 150 points required for a smoothie.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Hmm only 3 plays suppose to have 5! 1 extra for reaching each goal and for converting points.

Don’t you get 100 miles for just achieving your goal. You just need 50 more miles.

I think the new system screws the most with people with just vitality. If you have a couple of discovery’s product the impact is less.

I got 4 plays, however I only got 300 DM from them. Used to be able to get a Dischem voucher atleast 3 times a month. Now it will be 2 best case scenario
