FNB is really toying with me. I have had my credit score on light green since launch day. Suddenly because it counts towards EBucks rewards I drop to amber without any changes (no new credit, same salary and pretty much the same expenses). Add to that the R69 monthly Fusion charge (Didn't experience it last month) which has made me sceptical about using the R1000 credit limit and I might drop from level 5. Yuck.

Hey guys the wimpy benefit is for burger meal with chips? Or should I rather just get breakfast to be safe. Never redeemed the wimpy benefit yet.

You can get their biggest R99 double patty avo cheese egg monstrosity, it comes with chips.

Is it still only at the 1stops in bum**** nowhere?

If so, I can let a voucher go. Also coz I hate Wimpy.

Yep, I was in Light Green and I've been paying off my debt (nothing else changed) and all of a sudden I'm on Amber...

I am on light green edging to dark green right now, used to be on orange to light green.

Something I have noticed that bumped me up...
In the past, when my salary came in, I would pay off the CC immediately.
Now however, I move the funds to the savings pocket to sit there a few days, then wait for the next month to roll in, then on the 2nd pay off all the cards.

I think my savings on hand went from red to green because of that one change.

Only thing left, is the "Proven Track Record" which is amber, everything else is green. I believe this is because I have very few accounts which reports back to my credit record, which sucks. I dont want more accounts.

Hmm, I'm still working on being able to pay off my CC monthly. Was a bit in Schitt's Creek and had to gooi the CC lol. Paying it off now, but didn't think I would be moving in the opposite direction on the "Credit Score" thing.

Same story with me. Was in light green for the longest time. Suddenly dropped to amber. BS IMHO
I have about R400k saved up in my home loan but because it isn't in an accepted savings account my savings on hand is red. Tsek

You can do or get dark green with ZERO savings!

I am far right (dark green) and not 1c in a savings account
