How to hit eBucks Level 5 with new rules

It is still relatively easy for FNB Premier customers to reach the top level of the eBucks rewards programme after changes come into effect in July 2025.

South Africa's third-largest bank tweaked the earnings criteria for moving up eBucks Rewards Levels on its Premier and Private accounts.

Third largest by what metric? And if they're only the third largest, why bother writing so many eBucks articles. Rather use the time to write about the first and second largest...

I'm not incurring debt just to get eBucks.

 

[mpdjhb]

I do all that and still get enough ebucks for a pack of gum.
Useless rewards program.

Problem is shopping at PNP. We only have one here and I'm not shopping there.

What if the cashier transfers to pnp?

He's talking about a job transfer, not rejecting you...

Banks making you jump through hoops to get rewards. Banking with them should be reward enough.

I can do the jumping through hoops but making significant changes to the hoops every year is what irritates me.

Gets more ridiculous every year.

This article feels like gaslighting.

The lived experience of eBucks is that you earn very little, and what you do earn can't be spent anywhere meaningfully

Banks forget rewards are a loyalty lever, and if I switch from them, I have seven other banks to consider before I think of them again.

The FNB brand used to stand for innovation... now it's just a routing house for money with outdated interfaces.

Wouldn't work, they all rejected him. Though you'd think by now he'd just use delivery services. Maybe there will be a delivery person that might catch his eye

Never bought electricity, airtime, fuel, takealot, clicks???

F**k you and your ebucks.
I cannot stand the gamification of banking and insurance services, there's enough crap in life to think about and when you FOMO me I just do the opposite.

F**k you and your ebucks.

Like, **** all of us, or just FNB?

when you FOMO me I just do the opposite.

Yep, that'll teach 'em. FNB will go out of business by the end of the quarter. 100%.

I do almost nothing, and I reach level 5 every month. But this moving the goalposts every year is just crazy. It's as if the thing cought up to them and now they are trying to get ahead of it again.
