You get 40% back on your first home loan installment if you bought the house via fnb channels. I suspect it is that.

No problem. I am planning to buy in the next 10-14 months so you will need to give me advice on how you did it... I also want the ebucks!

When a new property is purchased, and you apply for finance through FNB, if the application is submitted through NAV and successful (FNB’s Online platform) you have 2 choices:

1. Earn 50% back in eBucks on value of first repayment or
2. If you have / had an existing bond, request the Move Home benefit whereby FNB will then pay the registration costs on your behalf and also subsidise the cancellation fee if your existing bond has to be cancelled (compare this with the 50% eB and see which is more beneficial)
3. Important to remember you cannot benefit from both options

If you apply through a consultant, you can request the Move home benefit only if you have / had an existing bond with FNB already, however 50% eB is then not applicable.

Don't know if this was asked/answered in the thread. I want to make four Ethekweni water and lights payment via the FNB app.

A public recipient called "Ethekweni water and lights" is listed. Has anybody here ever used this successfully? If so, did you merely use your account number in the recipient's reference? Ta.

/reason I ask, Ethekweni website make no mention regarding an FNB EFT - they do, however, provide steps for NEdbank EFT. Odd.

Yes. I have used it and it works.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before.

Haven't been to the movies in years.

How does the the NuMetro or Ster Kinekor discounted voucher codes work?
1 x voucher = 1 x Ticket?
1 x voucher = Discount on original ticket price?
Do you use them online or at the ticket counter?

We want to take the kids for a movie as we think they are big enough now and can sit and keep quiet for long enough. Risky risky with the daughter, but yeah! :D

Thanks guys.

Was about to ask he same. I believe some companies like rentals agencies do charge but it's not a blanket fee..i always got full amount paid and I paid over 5k at times.

Ethekwini municipality charges for card payments above R2500. It used to be worth it on the old rules when the checkers spend was not capped as low since the eBucks earned offset the charges.

The charge differs but was sometimes as high as R200 for me.

Just split the payment. CoCT had the same but only for payments exceeding R5 000. I would just make multiple payments with each being below the R2 500.

1 voucher = 1 ticket. I normally just went to the self service terminal but the ticket desk can also process it.

Just remember that some movies you can't use a voucher. This is mainly for new releases. I once bought 4 tickets to star wars for the first week's screening and the voucher would not work. The website will normally indicate if comps are allowed when making the booking.

Oh, thought the charge was for easypay . First time I paid COJ bill using easypay directly instead of checkers and since mines is over 2.5k thought I would pay.
