So new rules are upon us.... I think I'll change my PC spending habits as follows:

Fuel - Change from BP to engen (bit of a schlep as there's none on my commute to/from work)
Checkers - Buy groceries Until R3k limit (probably 1 shop :( )
Online - Rates will max this
Normal swipes .. only until capped.

Thereafter the FNB card goes into the pocket and my Discovery card comes out. Groceries at PnP will then earn 6.7% (due to 10x mulitipler) and normal swipes are 0.7%

My calculations show that at least half my usual monthly spend will now go to Discovery instead of FNB.

Just make sure you still spend enough to get all the points you need to get to level 5.

FNB has screwed everyone over with the new ebucks rules. I feel for the ones who actually rack 1000eb or less per month. It'll be much lower now.

Not really. Low earners should get about the same amount or even possibly more if they have proportionally large fuel spend.

I can easily get to level 5 on Gold (or stay there actually).
Just need to figure out what I can pay online for online R1000 earn.

Well... There goes my checkers cap R2000 one go lol.

Lol, also almost forgot the Engen thing. Pulled into BP, opened my fuel cap, told the guy to fill up.
Then I remembered, told the guy don't worry about it closed the cap, then drove to the Engen. Haha

I noticed that the Checkers gift cards are back in store again after being absent for a few months.
