You do get a personal interest rate depending on your creditworthiness, credit score etc. As a rule of thumb, higher income clients who serve their accounts well, qualify for lower interest rate simply because they are a lower risk for the bank.

Very very close to be honest (Quickly had a chat with the pricing guys) ... it all depends on the internal credit score (which is a value out of 5) ...

Old priority pass.

I know that this is no longer offered and has been replaced with lounge key. I still have an active priority pass card and used it twice in December. First at the Bidvest lounge at the cape Town domestic terminal going to joburg and then at the Bidvest lounge at joburg domestic coming back. I was under the impression that it does not work at the domestic lounge and I have not been charged for these visits. It might just be due to FNB moving over to lounge key.

This was on 9 and 11 December. View attachment 603706

I prefer the Slow lounges for domestic flights.

I think it was mentioned that priority pass can only be used outside of South Africa and any use in SA is chargeable. I was not charged for the domestic use of priority pass.

Hey guys, sorry this question may have been asked. If I buy prepaid electricity from spar using my CC, it is not done at the normal till, it is done at the Lotto till. Will this count as in-store shopping as it is not a Money Market till at Checkers?

I was thinking of buying a Unipin at Dischem, but I don't know if Kwadukuza Municipality is compatible.

Counts as instore... Also just buy the smallest Unipin and take the risk, it might just work.

If I buy through the app, then I am using my Cheque account....no eBucks. If I buy in a store I can use my credit card and get eBucks.

I guess the Unipin is great if you are on level 5, 40% discount on electricity at Dischem.

You guys are happy that the checkers vouchers are back BUT did any of you notice CUM/OK/Poetry/TM are gone. What does this mean. I believe that checkers is now added to the rotational vouchers. Dischem are a given every month. But I dont think we will see checkers for a few more months.

Give it time. I used PP in October and only reflected om my bank statement in December (which I received on 7 January).

Even when you don't get charged, it comes off your account and then a reversal entry is passed. So something should show on your statement at some point I would expect.

I only buy R100 electricity every week and a half.

How much do you guys spend on electricity per month?

Is the internal credit score only available to the bank? I would have liked to know mine.
