ok, did that, and uploaded the docs, thanks.
When i swipe from now on, does it go towards the new upgraded PRIVATE CLIENTS or do i have to wait until the PRIVATE CLIENTS credit cards arrive ?

I'm sorry I ever did that, was L5 on EB and since going to Premier or Private (cant remember which one it is) I went all the way to L1 on EB and couldnt go higher. I tick all the boxes to earn EB but the fact that i wasnt earinng R30k a month salary killed my Level.
For years I never earned a single EBuck, only through Takealot and that was it.
I just recently went back to Gold and bam L5 40% discounts again. Earning almost 2000 EB each month again. Looking forward to seeing soon on statement how the R4.00/litre gets paid back via ENGEN. Screw that fancy black card stuff, costs more monthly and I never use SLOW lounges anyway, I don't fit in with yuppies :ROFL:

shame, sorry about that, but i have been spending a lot of time working towards upgrading and making sure i stay on RL 5 , so for me this works, especially since i can now get a bit more vouchers at discounted price.

Using your old cc is abit hit and miss..... Some members on this forum the spend from both cards showed as private client spend whilst for others the Premier card spend was not allocated..... Personally when I upgraded to private Clients and then private wealth I got the ebucks on both the old and new cards

Hi Nathan1082,
We’ve logged the query and will wait for the feedback – please allow at least 10 business days for a response (there is usually an influx of queries the day after ebucks are allocated)
Regards,

I got a life policy and a linked spousal account in Jan. Should these points not reflect or will they only reflect in Feb?

used APP to contact my new TEAM OF BANKERS , she says 10 days credit card, fnb will ove all limits to the new account. so i guess its better to spend on old card so long which i have in my possession and get something , because waiting for 10 days would be either 18 feb or 22 feb dpending on whether 10 days is calendar days or business days and thats late to wait to spend or do nothing, so we will see and report back next months.thanks

my life policy points only reflected the month after they first starting taking off the debit order. to get all the points you must also have informed them of your beneficiary and beneficiary contact details , did mine via email fnbflife@fnb.co.za

Its based on how they get the upgraded credit card.

If you upgrade, and the account number stay the same, you can spend on both cards.
If you upgrade check but order a new cc, or the account number for the new cc change, then you cant earn on both cards, only on the card that match the cheque account, or rather the highest level card.

When you downgrade, you have no choice, but to get a new account number on the CC. The cheque account can be downgraded without changing the account number.

I went through this process some time back, they quick to offer PW and PC Cards through the app yet know you are well under the brackets for these cards.

Problem is on these cards is that every goal is targeted towards someone that’s earning that actual cash, so they bump the guys up knowing you won’t qualify for half the things and wouldn’t be able to keep up with the requirements. Topping it off the card fees and such if you don’t have the balance to wave the fees is also substantially higher. I did the math and the difference in what I would have needed to spend per month to quality alone outweighed my monthly income at the time.

That being said I’ll only upgrade again when my earnings and month spend warrants that % difference earned on eBucks between the accounts. No hate towards anyone on those levels but their is a vast majority of people just chasing the card colour vs the benefits and very few that actually have the card and qualify to have it. Those who do have it are the guys that are truly able to maximize those monthly eBucks.

Totally agree 100%
That is what happened to me. Via the app, first to Platinum and then again to the black account.
Stupid me, in my case I was paying more monthly fees and earing 0 EB.
In my case I will stay on Gold for as long as I can as the bank fees are less :)

Has anyone tried to use Checkers wicode vouchers to buy physical vouchers recently.
Checkers was out of physical voucher stock when I tried 2 weeks ago. Wan't to try again this weekend.
Is there another way to use the wicode vouchers to buy from House and Home.
