Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019

Yeah i think it's old too.. I've mailed that debtors address to see what they say.

 

[gjm]

It is basically a normal cheque account with an overdraft facility.

So I will pay interest when using the overdraft facility (excluding card purchases for 30 days)?

 

[Tinuva]

My plan as well.

That entire Home Loan thing confuses the **** out of me so I want to see what I actually get the points for.

It shouldnt. Log in to online banking and look at the detailed values of your bond.
Then use the formula on the ebucks rules and work out your %.

If you never paid in extra or took out money out of the bond, you should get to a result of 100%.
If you have paid in a little extra and the bond still young, you should be somewhere between 90% and 100% usage.
This is, if you have a flexi facility, that doesn't allow you to take out more than the bond is worth.

If like me, bond is over 5 years old, and where I have paid in a lot extra over the years, I am now at a usage of 55%. I know for a fact, I will get 0 points for the bond rules.

Another RULE that you need to decode, if the bond is registered after 2012 (then it counts ONLY). Before, 0 points even if the bond is 90% open

Good Morning

We print the e-bucks voucher instore. All that you have to bring with is your e-bucks card. There are one of two options where the customer authorises the voucher. If you have the FNB app on your phone you are required to authorise over the phone. The other option is when FNB send you a one time pin and we then use that to authorise you voucher.

Is it a process to upgrade from premier to PC or just a phone call?

I asked on the app's secure messaging what is the process to upgrade. They forwarded my request to private banking who phoned me within a few hours.

 

[Mythical-]

I sent a message requesting that they contact me about upgrading from Gold to Premier in Online banking. Within a few hours, I had received an email that the request was sent to Applications who, I think, tried to call me that afternoon. Unfortunately, I missed the call. Hope they phone back soon.

Yeah thats the old one. They used to let you log in to the ebucks website to buy the voucher and print it from your own ebucks account. If there are no more vouchers for tafelberg on the ebucks shop, then not sure if that still works.

 

[TedLasso]

Not sure about physical vouchers, but I used over 10 virtual vouchers (Wi codes) without any issues.

10 is the maximum..

I would assume it’s that simple but the wording leaves a lot to be desired in simple understanding.

I pay in a **** load so probably in the second bracket.

Either way will wait for confirmation before I do the numbers.

How? They not listed as a partner: https://www.ebucks.com/web/eBucks/spend/spend-partners.jsp

Does this mean you might do a physical transfer? Its super strange, maybe it is old as I previously mentioned. But would recommend contacting them

See it was confirmed above.

 

[Snyper564]

10 is the maximum..

I confirm I have used 17 once. They override the system at 10

Just be on the safe side, make sure your T5 isn't dependent on the bond.

I did my numbers, will be on T5 on Premier without bond. On PC I wont be, unless I change over to fusion which I really dont want to do.

 

[Snyper564]

I must say the only way I make up for the ebucks loss now is making sure both my wife and I are both T5 and hit all the caps etc..
