so just to confirm, by transferring all the spending money (except checkers,and patrol, and online?) from fnb to ABCC and then using abcc through out the month, i don't lose out on anything from FNB ,reward level points, spends, ect.....

If you use the ABCC to pay for stuff you will lose those points.

It's better to cash it out and use your FNB CC to swipe.

this part confuses me....i thought the plan is to transfer everything to ABCC to take advantage of the 15% back in ebucks...but then i wont have money left on my fnb cc.
unless you guys are transferring back to FNB?

I finally managed to get the USSD code method working and check my balances and also to change my Pin.

Its not very secure though, if you select the forgot Pin option, it allows to get into your account with only your ID number.

That is scary

I chose to withdraw everything from ABNA 8 days ago, received it yesterday. ABNA still reflected online with a few rands so I assumed account was still open.

I'll call head office to confirm if my ABNA is still open, I assumed that it stopped reflecting 3 days ago due to website issues.

Although fortunately you can't do anything on the site, apart from withdraw to a pre-approved account.

Yes and no. Lets say I only use 10k credit a month. if I easypay 10k to abcc and that its and use that as my daily card and fnb cc for petrol thats a good approach. Beyond that 10k I would only use FNBCC again if that makes sense. I hate all the hassle of withdrawing and depositing. I use my 10k first on the abcc card and carry on with the rest (beyond 10k) on fnbcc

Guys just try to make life easier....

make sense i think i'll give it a try....

 

[bar1]

i need some help guys, i was in AB yesterday yet again to try for this CC. after almost klapping the d1ckwad manager, i was told that according to "amnesty" (whoever in hell that is) i owe an amount of R4500 to FNB - WHICH I DONT AND CONFIRMED WITH FNB!

AB is saying i have to submit a "paid up letter" to the bureau to update my profile as it has not been updated since november 24th.

does this sound right to you guys? what do i do from here? who do i email this letter to? can anyone help with contact details?

AB is converting from an old to a new system (web based), and they have issues. That I know (related to phone numbers).

Maybe you should try and apply at the branch where I did mine? They are early looking for new customers, however if the system is showing you owe money I doubt they would be able to help.
