Bought a R500 this morning and will hopefully be able to buy another one when it rolls over in the next few days

Damn :(

Well then hopefully they still there next month

No. It's available until 12 Feb. But, I'm also hopeful for an unlikely return next month.

Can't remember if this was asked before, so I'm apologising if it has already. If I have a checkers voucher for R1000 but only need to spend R500 of it, can I use the voucher for the R500 and the balance will remain for next time? The reason I ask is because on the app, it shows you the value of the voucher and the balance. Plus I have a CUM voucher I bought last year with a balance of R1 :ROFL:

Terms say no. Best thing is to buy a R1000 gift card and pay for it with the voucher.
Then use the gift card as you need it.

I always load the ebucks virtual vouchers on to a gift card. Easier for part purchases and if you really want can use it at house and home.

The Smart Spend thing seems to track your eBucks status at the time the transaction clears.

Earlier on there was a dispute about whether the Smart Spend counts when the transaction is concluded or when it clears. This should settle it once and for all. I was always of the view that everything counts from the clearance dates. Pending dates, which include the date of the transactions, are not relevant for purposes of eBucks earn.

He says seems, alluding to he is not certain.
He got 500 ebucks on level 5 when he got to 5000 spend
He got 450 ebucks on level 4 when he got to 10000 spend
I believe it is fairly obvious that this is to do with your level when you reach the allocation level of 5000/10000/15000 and has nothing to do about individual transactions
So it does not clarify or prove anything whether the transaction date or clearance date is used to determine in which month smart spend is allocated

Can anyone tell me if there's a limit on Google play transactions to qualify for the streaming or online platforms? I bought 2 ebooks for 1.91, rented a movie from play movies for R18 and bought a season pass on Playstation for R179 but only 2 of these transactions are showing up on the calculator and I've dropped to level 4,would've been level 5 with those two transactions. Seems as if they didn't count the ebooks purchases, any grounds for dispute here with fnb? I haven't seen any rules for minimum spend on streaming and online platform spend.

One transaction per service.

Seems like you done 3 Google play transactions which counts aa 1 streaming/online service.

I highly doubt that. Every month before this I did more than 1 Google play transaction and each counted as a separate purchase, although those were not for such a less amount. I'm assuming the amount has something to do here.
