Getting to eBucks Level 5 with the new rules

[Smiggles]

I am like the uncle in “ducktails”.

Please stop giving me ebucks, I have millions already!

I need a new game! Lol

Send them to me.

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

Nobody is making you do anything.

That what you telling your wife every night?

Yup either you want the reward or you don't.
It's like insurance companies incentivizing not claiming or installing apps or or, you don't need to do it if you don't want the "reward"

That doesn’t even make any sense.

I'm not incurring debt just to get eBucks.

You don't need to incur debt to earn eBucks. By saving, you can also earn alot of eBucks.

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.

Well put. I am on PW and it is going to be very hard for me to stay on lvl 5. They make a ton out of money from me with two bonds and banking fees so I feel like they are punishing their good clients by making it harder to reach / stay on lvl 5.

Maybe time for Discovery Bank? Looking into it now. Only L2 with FNB but a detailed analysis shows it could be quite beneficial to switch.

Wife is annoyed by the Starbucks change to a discount rather than a free coffee. It’s like the straw that broke the camels back as far as FNB for her is concerned

Exactly!

 

[Smiggles]

Switched back to Capitec bank. Just wish I could create a virtual credit card.

 

[quovadis]

Exactly!

Can't say I disagree with her. It's a little pathetic of FNB.

For me it's better value overall as often I had kids or wife with me and now it's actually costing less to buy for two.

But if you were only ever getting the coffee that actuary at Starbucks sure did the maths to make damn sure you either buy something fancy or two items at all times now.

Focusing on vitality drive after the Checker/pnp switch and getting about R1500 a month for moving fuel spend to Shell/BP.

Only ever got the coffee. Used to grab two every other week. If they were gonna change it probably would've been best to just make it a standard voucher like Kauai but I'm sure that'll be ending too, soon enough.

Don't remind me about how I was fooled by the 'updates' or the superior app store :'(

Looks like I made the right choice to quit coffee. That was still the only eBucks benefit I used.

It definitely did, they spend half their time making it harder and harder to meet the requirement, I stopped trying years ago, definitely not conforming to their or anyone else's idea of how it must be done for a few Rand here and there I usually just waste on an equally useless Lotto ticket anyway.
