Yeah, they definitely made a mistake. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Knowing them, will take like two weeks to resolve

Let us know if you come right? I logged my email query on Tuesday night at 11pm.

I saw I dropped to Level 4 for the same reason - 1 of my Online/Streaming platform transactions didn't make the cut....

I mailed them the screenshots reflecting all the dates on my Credit Card statement.

They tried calling me twice yesterday, but I couldn't answer. They left a voicemail saying they will call back today. I haven't received a call today, but got the following SMS at 6pm: "Good day Mr xxx, kindly note that your complaint has been escalated for a backdate. Regards, the eBucks Team"

Not sure what backdate means... I'm guessing they are reversing their mistake and putting me back on Level 5.

Yes, backdate means to correct the ebucks they were supposed to give you and put you back on to level 5. This whole online spend was a mess the first two months, I had to log queries every time and then they got it right. Now again back to this.

My September eBucks earn took 4 months to resolve, after a few emails and me explaining in meticulous detail the amount I was owed.

I should get on this virtual card. Knowing how FNB pushes new products, they will probably have some requirement to use the virtual card in the new Ebucks rules.

I like how you are thinking! Think the drive forward is cardless transactions...

Hi, Need to buy something online at Tafelberg furniture.
If i pay with Payfast, do i get ebucks? Or better to go to shop and pay with Credit Card?

Either options qualify for smart spend, so your choice

Got off the phone with them. Apparently, no matter how many of each mr. D/Google play/uber/deezer/spotify you do a month, only one will count. So you have to have 4 different streaming platforms. Really wasn't aware of this. Are they bullshiting me?

They’re right. Has to be different services. Says so in the rules.

Yes, 4 different platforms.

This was confirmed via feedback some on this thread got from a few consultants earlier in this thread (few months back).
