Hi,
I moved to FNB in November,and i received a platinum cheque, and recently received a platinum credit card.
after checking and complaining i was told no premier cards available until july (even though an email was sent to me to choose the design of my new premier card).

did anyone manage to get a Premier cheque or CC from FNB?

Premier and Platinum are the same thing. They renamed Platinum to Premier.
 
bar1 wants the physical card the way I read it.

I had delays getting new cards done late last year. They arrived after a few weeks when it is supposed to take days.

Geez, who cares what the card looks like, unless you're a status whore.

^ This. Everyone has platinum nowadays in anycase. Rather get silver and show the world you are not a twit overpaying for banking.

PS: Yes I have platinum and yes I need to downgrade.

Exactly. I'm also guilty of falling into the platinum trap. Paying R300 a month for nothing. I don't really use any of the "benefits", except maybe using the Slow lounge once every 6 months. I really need to downgrade to silver like you suggest.
 
FNB have been hassling me to go private for months now and I keep refusing, why would I want to pay more for banking?!?
I still have the original platinum card I got 2 years ago(I fly alot lounge access made it worthwhile)
 
If a company promise me x and give me y ,i get annoyed.
am i gonna make a big fuss about it?probably not...:-)
just annoyed that i have 2 cards that look the same (except the words,cheque /credit) so i was excited about the "choose your card's design option".
 
I have a gold card. Costs me R100 a month. I have no reason to upgrade.

Same here.
I don't want to pay nearly R200 extra per month for services I'm not going to use.

It's actually R100 extra.

I pay R200pm for my premier bundle and definitely happy with it.

Besides the shiny card, I wouldn't want to downgrade since that might change my ebucks rewards and the dedicated call center has proved to be quite handy for me.
At least no long waits in a queue.

My mistake - I was thinking of the Private Clients Cheque Account.
I was offered a Private Clients Cheque Account which is R270 per month for unlimited or R345 per month bundled.
I'll keep my R100 Gold cheque account.
 
Does anyone actually have a premier card, or are they all still platinum?
 
There is a very good reason to pay the extra R200 for banking, eBucks! The only reason I moved up to Private Client is because of the eBucks cap on Platinum / Premier. Right now, FNB is paying me back 7x more back than what I'm paying in banking fees.

It depends on what you spend your money on.
If you have a lot of in store purchases and swipe your card then it's worth it but in my case nearly all of my salary goes into a house bond, vehicle, creche fees, water and lights account, security, etc. all of which earn me zero eBucks because they're EFT payments or debit orders.

I have all of that too but I have changed the way I pay these things to earn more ebucks, e.g. lights and water I pay at Checkers. All you need to do is adjust your spend slightly and you can potentially earn A LOT of eBucks.
