So I was denied reward level 5 by 500 points. On my credit card statement Netflix shows as coming off on the 30th of November. Apparently, according to FNB it came off on Netflix's side on the 1st of December. I'm unable to comprehend how I'm supposed to control Netflix when it has not been an issue for months. I have subsequently changed the debit order date for Netflix but it seems ridiculous that FNB actually doesn't reflect properly for the end user.
I actually done a payment after 5pm last day of the month (specifically waited for after 5) and it got counted in the same month of smart spend lol.

I saw another funny. Filled up with fuel, cleared in the next month, counted as the previous month!

In addition to what I mentioned i had 3 or 4 transactions that still showed under pending till 3rd or 4th of this month but showed up for smart spend (updated quite a while after others) as November.

My Netflix d/o also went off on 30th and cleared in the new month. Best to have a buffer.

I did a transfer to my savings account on the 30th and it only reflected the next month. I also dropped a level because of that. So have a buffer in everything.

Just used Tap-to-Pay on my OnePlus phone. Works great! Needs to be enabled in the FNB app so I wonder if it will count towards the eBucks points.

Superbalist is having a 40% off special. Got myself a google home. Although the home is initially expensive. The 40% off isn’t too bad.

Isn't it R600 odd with the 40% on Superbalist? Got one of these today off Takealot...

So 2 months in a row now, the 'track my rewards' has told me I got to level 5. Yet when the points come in, it says I only managed to get to level 4.
Getting super pissed off now.
Is it a bug? A feature? Has this happened to any of you?
What to do!! I haven't contacted them yet, trying to work out if it's even worth it.

Check the calculator on the website. It’s more accurate.
Also check where you missed points in the previous month so you get to level 5 the next time.

Track it manually! It aint to much work! Don’t blame bugs for losing eB’s.

The "level 4 club because track my rewards failed us" welcomes you with open arms

Anyone have any hacks around FNB scan to pay? BidorBuy doesn't have snapscan as a payment option anymore :(

Checkers and PnP allow it! Surely you can go and buy 2 lunchbars... pay separately! Problem solved
None of tellers at any stores have been trained how to do it. They just give weird look and activate normal card machine, which can tap on though.
