Anybody else missing points allocations for the month? I know "tracks my rewards" is not something to strictly follow, but there are things are I was earning fine previously that has no points this month.

1. Insurance Life Cover
2. Credit status (mine shows green but no points)

This has dropped me to Level 3

And then I assume I should still only spend on my credit card for max ebucks earn?
I have the gold fusion and credit card, but I only use the credit card which costs R51 per month. The fusion card is cheaper than a cheque card and you get 1000 points for it.

Is it for December? I also had a few items that were not reflecting however I see it has been rectified now.

Just checked, no negative amounts, but I have never had negative amounts on my statements and I have always received these points.
Odd... and you don't have a personal loan or something else that would give you those points?

I always keep my overdraft in excess of negative R1000 for 2 days at least to be sure it shows on my statement and is clear as day that i did the necessary.

Yeah, and irritated with the cat and mouse approach used to give us 40% deals during the '20th birthday month' period.

Agreed. For example a lot of people parted with their eBucks of the Xbox series S for R5999 when it was R1000 off only for it to go 40% right at the end of the sale and become R4200. Seriously annoying tactics from FNB. I'd imagine they end with more people pissed off than happy with this approach.

It was a game of continuously checking, which was a schlep.

The big day / night was that Thursday before black Friday when they had a lot of 40% off deals.

I guess what was different this year was that they wanted to play it out over the 20 days.

But I'm happy with my haul managed to use up all my eBucks at 40% off. Kept enough in case a PS5 rocks up at 40% off

Yup, was a schlep and also annoying when a 40% deal came on but you were busy snoozing.
But i guess maybe they were trying to manage load.... or delivery load. Or keep the excitement/buzz going.

Most other retailers (online and offline) do similar tactics. So ebucks is not the only store to do this.

I didnt even know it was a thing! I basically just checked on BF hoping to find a cheap 40% off tv for my nanny. 32" or something.
