Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022

Anyone else getting fairly frequent SMS spam from FNB/Ebucks about 'Pay R5 for any 1 of these items:" and lists off mieiepap and parboiled rice and other kak. Highly annoying and irrelevant to my interests. Sent from those autogenerated spam numbers, no "STOP to opt out" option which I thought was required. Can't find anything about marketing preferences on my FNB profile.

Nope. Not a single one of those SMS has been received on my side.

Got a call for my outstanding black friday TV from Digital Planet. Warehouse has closed and they will only start shipping in January again. Estimated delivery 13th Jan. Lovely. I had to call Ebucks last week to ask them what's wrong and then it was my tv licence that was a problem, not anymore magically. The agent saying, "Oh, did no one contact you" really grated my cheese.

I just got an SMS stating the same, 13th January for the TV I ordered.

I'm in the same boat. They had an issue verifying TV license and eventually got it verified on Friday. I received a call from them this morning to confirm delivery address and they then told me that the warehouse closed on Friday and will only open on 3 Jan 2022 with estimated delivery on or before 13 Jan 2022.

Oh well, at least I'll be on leave then, so I'll have all the time to install the wall bracket and setup the TV.

What the hell is wrong with the ebucks shop pricing? This soundbar retails for about R1000

Does anyone here maybe have any knowledge/experience/advice with regards to the Hisense soundbars (HS205, HS212F or HS214) currently available on the eBucks shop? It seems the prices are not what they should be, but are any of them any good?

I'm asking because I still have some eBucks left, because I also missed Black Thursday, but I was at least able to grab a Hisense TV on the Friday. So I figured the Hisense soundbar might be a good addon to the Hisense TV, but I have no experience or knowledge with soundbars in general.

I bought the HS205 yesterday at Hifi corporation for R999. The sound is really good and I see most of the online reviews are also positive.

Quick Question if someone can help with a bit more experience, i have my vehicle financed through Wesbank and registered on fnb app, if i was to fill fuel in my wife's car that is not registered on my app, would i earn e bucks on that fuel as well as the four quarter rewards that would come?

Does a petrol station report which vehicle is filled when they record the registration number?

Yes you will earn so long you sue your fnb card, does not matter who cars you fill up

Has anyone ever come across this on their statement:
A transaction from this "ATMSOL TERMLOC FU Claremont"? I never withdraw from ATMs, and my wife is under strict instructions not to either. She uses her other bank cards for that if she has to.
Anyone who does withdraw from an ATM - does that format align / similar with what you see?

ATMSOL sounds like it is done by a company called ATM Solutions, these guys install atm machines on garage forecourts in the shops, maybe you can try call them and they can trace the location and then the convenience shop probably has cctv ? hope this helps

Anyone with Ebucks short term insurance - please advise how good they are with pricing and payment of claims etc, im thinking of moving some /all insurance for the ebucks, but i am very happy with current insurance because they dont give me hassles at all...thoughts ? thanks

I'm with them. Their price was competitive with Outsurance (before factoring in the eBucks rewards) and there was a R1000 excess on a geyser replacement. Didn't enjoy working with the plumbers that they sent to do the replacement as they had to come back after the initial replacement, but since it's only used once in a while, I'll take the eBucks.

It bombs out when it redirects to "approve the transaction" on your bank. I will try again later. Maybe its something with my VCC.
