If you're not happy with something that's free, don't use it?

I can understand the requirement that you should swipe more than you draw cash, as cash is expensive for banks. It is a manual process, needs security, etc.

However, forcing you to check the "please spam the heck out of me whenever you want to" is such an epic fail.

Typical "big bank" thinking.

/me loves my new Capitec chip card

Say yes, set up an auto delete rule

It isnt free, you have to pay a fee to qualify.
Im pretty annoyed with it because you have to spend more on your cheque card than you withdraw from the account each month. I dont withdraw too much but I also dont use my cheque card, why would I if I have a credit card?
Starting to get annoyed with FNB after having punted them for a long time.

What fee do you have to pay? I've never paid for ebucks.

Are you sure your CC purchases don't qualify?

 

[JStrike]

Easy enough. Switch banks.
That's how you your displeasure to them

Mine do - I just bought a gopro hero2 with ebucks And I only earn then on my cc... its actually the only reason I have a FNB credit card.

since opening the accounts in August last year, I've earned zero ebucks on my cheque account.

This new domestic SLOW airport lounge rule is also a bit cr@ppy, especially as they still punt it as a benefit. Except that you have to swipe for R5000 in that month in order to qualify for entry (before June there was no requirement)

 

[BouncyNinja]

there is a R150 annual fee as well ( roughly)

I've never paid that... My fiancée just opened her cheque account, and was automatically registered for ebucks, they told her there is no fee...

Oh good luck, you can do this, and if you are lucky enough not to have them crash your PC with their spam, wait till you see the sms'es. I received 7 sms'es (different ones) in one day at it's worst at all hours of the day.

At least Steve will have something to punt to his phone customers this month

I've been with eBucks since inception and never had to pay.
Also eBucks never expire.
Over the years I've used eBuck to purchase quite a lot.
I like the new fuel rewards - all for free.

You only pay this "roughly" fee with FNB Credit Card annually

You do not pay for ebucks on Cheque accounts.

EDIT : Wifey got quoted R200 per year for eBucks on her CC quote
