7. Streaming or online platforms:

For those of you who are scrambling, if you are doing point 7 - you are too late. Chances are any of those transactions would only clear next month. Some services also bill you a month later.

It's better to get things done early in the month.

By 25th you should already have cleared level 5 with points to spare.

Probably right.

They're cheap though. No reason not to try them.

If they go through in time, count yourself as lucky.

Ebucks monthly reminders:

1. View the "track my rewards" tab on the app. FNB app -> Ebucks -> Earn -> Track my rewards [500 points]

2. Set up at least 3 Smart budget categories and access (view) your Smart budget every month [1000 points] (not applicable to Private Wealth clients)

3. Maintain a healthy credit score and access your Smart budget each month (not applicable to Private Wealth clients):

Light amber status: 1000 points
Light green status: 1000 points
Dark green status: 1000 points

4. (if you have kids) Have a transactional FNBy account OR grow your FNBy savings account balance [1000 points]:

Premier: R200
PC: R300
PW: R400

5. App transactions (app payments/transfers) [2000 points]:

Premier: 6 transactions
PC: 8 transactions
PW: 10 transactions

6. FNB Pay app payment (Tap to pay, Scan to Pay or Checkout) [500 points/1000 points with VCC]:

Premier: 2 transactions
PC: 3 transactions
PW: 4 transactions

Two easy ways to achieve this:

Buy airtime from Takealot and select Masterpass as the checkout method and scan the QR code using FNB Pay.

Donate to Gift of the Givers by scanning their Masterpass code and paying with FNB Pay: https://giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference/donate-with-masterpass/
This option is a bit easier and faster than the Takealot method (you don't have to add to cart and do the whole checkout process)

Make use of/make a payment to any of the following platforms:

Deezer, iTunes, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, Showmax, SweepSouth, Audible, Google Play, Mr D Food, Uber OR Uber Eats, PlayStation, Xbox, Google, Bolt, Checkers Sixty60

The points for credit status is incorrect.

On Premium is it
Light Amber = 1000
Light Green = 1500
Dark Green = 2000

But always good to b reminded. I missed the smart budget this month, so did it quickly, but already have a buffer.

 

[Drone 42]

So received an email at 3am saying that my order has been completed/delivered but still no sign of my TV and coffee machine

Heard anything about your TV yet?

My points have always been sorted so never went into your tips in full detail, however looking at it, point number 7 is actually quite useful for those needing specific transactions. Thumbs up for that.

I help people to tier 5 and it will definitely help me, help them.
