On the app, eBucks/spend/spend partners and click on the Wimpy icon. Should see your Kauai alongside as well.

Thx so much. Was going to 'my benefits' as that's how I always use my Kauai voucher. Had searched for wimpy in the app at the time and that did not come up. Ended up paying . Wonder why Wimpy doesn't appear in 'my benefits'

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: 1500 points
Dark green status: 2000 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 options to achieve this:

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

6.2 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/

Option 6.2 is a bit easier and faster than option 6.1 (you don't have to add to cart and do the whole checkout process)

7. Streaming or online platforms:

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

2 streaming or online services using Virtual Card: 1000 points
4 streaming or online services, at least 2 using Virtual Card: 1500 points
4 streaming or online services using Virtual Card: 2000 points

These are the ones I did this month. (Previous month's purchases might be cheaper):

7.1. Google Play - Ebook (R0.52) - https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Jack_London_The_Call_of_the_Wild?id=ZFjDDwAAQBAJ

7.2. Audible - Audiobook (R12.56) - https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Captain-of-the-Pole-Star-Audiobook/B005BU8VAK

7.3. iTunes - a single song (R9.99)

7.4. Mr D (send a SnackMe voucher)/Uber or Uber Eats (top up your account)

What are the tricks for getting cash out of your Cc without direct cash withdrawal?

If I recall you can send funds to a Spot account or Tymebank account?
What fees does either option charge?

These virtual card competition vouchers they sent us, they sent me 2 (sample message below) but the previous one I forgot to save and now I don't see it under Messages (under 'Just for you') on the App. Did anyone else here lose a voucher and is the only recourse to try asking eBucks to resend or else message them via Secure Chat on the App?

"Congratulations, you've won a R100 Checkers coupon because you shopped on your FNB Virtual Card at Checkers. Use the code XYZ123 at a Checkers or Shoprite to redeem. Valid until 19 Feb '22. FNB a div of FRB Ltd NCRCP20"

They sent me the same one twice, one two and half weeks back more or less and one today.
