Pampers stuff @ 40% off
Thanks for the heads-up, really need to top up on these.

Lack of Ebucks BF deals made me poop myself in disappointment and I cant stop.

I'm fairly sure this has been asked and answered before, but what's a good credit card limit to have compared to one's monthly spend? In my current situation I'm approaching 65% of my credit card limit as the payment date draws close.

IIRC something like 4 times one's monthly spend is a good credit card limit to have? With that credit limit in a normal month I wouldn't exceed 40% of the limit as the payment date approaches.

It is actually better to have the biggest limit you qualify for, thus lowering your utilization % of the credit limit. (Anything lower than 50% is a good %)

I get your point but maybe not the biggest limit if the offers from FNB are to be believed, e.g. is it really such a good idea to accept a preapproved 400k limit (assuming one qualifies)?

Checked the Entertainer app today and it looks like it has been activated. Guess it must be the eBucks benefit.

Anyone else experiencing Tap to Pay issues with their NFC phone's? I can Tap to Pay no problem, but when the transaction exceeds R200 and my pin is required, it gets declined. I've logged this 3 times with FNB Online Banking, they are still investigating and saying it's now seen as a 'global issue' as I'm not the only one with this problem. Anyone else having issues?

Have not transacted today, but this week all week no issues. That said in December i had errors on multiple occasions with Samsung Pay and a Virtual card linked to it.

I contacted FNB support and was told virtual credit cards are not supported on Samsung pay. I left it at that. Decided to try use it again this week and it was working again.

Perhaps it is a pin issue. Virtual cards have their own pins which can be changed. Im just not sure how one synchronises the pin. After a few times the pin seems to work.
