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

Please assist....
1. Can one set their Vodacom, Insurance etc under a credit card "debit order"?
Would you pay interest for this? Looking at ways of increasing the smart spend.
2. What online subscriptions are there besides Neflix and Spotify, something useful but cheap lol

1. The mobile SPs all allow for credit card payments. Be in touch with the contact centre and ask them to set up a recurring credit card deduction. Most insurers don't allow credit card payments - however if you want to move to Naked insurance, they only use credit cards.
2. Buy a cheap book (you can find for less than R5) from Google Play Books.

I updated 3/4 of my services to use the VC, so only have points for one. The agent told me I should log a query in the new month so they can allocate the points, so will see Thursday or Friday

Update is in the new month if you do get help

Was thinking how to pay for insurance on CC. Considering my premium, whicj has just gone up for annual increase, (house, contents, one car), is now 3.8k per month, gonna check out Naked Insurance


Edit: see Naked is underwritten by Hollard , who is my current provider, so will see what Naked price is for like for like cover.

My YouTube and iTunes VCC payments are not counted on Online/Streaming services. Anyone with a similar issue?

Update: 1 of the Online/Streaming services I paid with VCC has been update, I'm not sure if it's YouTube or iTunes. There is one left now.

You just change it, don't need cvc after first time. Checkers sixty and takealot you have to log in and get cvc each time

I normally pay my City of Cape Town and Telkom bills via Easypay website. But it looks like they are offline?
Any other websites or perhaps somewhere on the APP to easily pay these accounts and somehow get this to show as online payment?

Try masterpass or zapper app

Skimmed through this thread now, trying to get ducks in a row for new rules.
It seems the main takeaway to remain on lvl 5 PC, is move all streaming to VCC.
Any other basics that I'm missing?

You can do it, here are the cheaper options (Or what I do) for online/streaming on VCC.
iTunes - iCloud Storage - R15
YouTube - YouTube Premium - R29
Google Play - Buy a Book - R0.10
Mr D Food - Buy dinner at least once a month to feed your family

Here are other options for online/streaming on VCC.
Deezer - Premium - R3.99
Audible - Buy an Audio book - R20
Uber OR Uber Eats - Buy a second dinner for the family

Now you already have 2000 points from online/streaming service. Let's add some more basic tasks

> Do at least 3 FNB Pay transaction using Virtual Card - 1000
> Setup at least 3 Smart budget categories and access your Smart budget every month - 1000
> Maintain a healthy Credit status on nav» Money - 1000
> Do at least 8 financial transactions per month via the FNB App - 2000
> View the 'Track my rewards' tab on the FNB App every month - 500
> Have an FNB Private Clients Credit Card and authorise a monthly auto payment - 1000
> Ensure that your Cash@Till® withdrawals are greater than or equal to your ATM and branch withdrawals - 1000
> Use your FNB Fusion Private Clients Card and/or FNB Private Clients Credit Card for between 75% and 100% of all your qualifying in-store and online spend in a calendar month - 1000
> Have an active linked FNBy transactional account - 1000
> Confirm that you have a spouse or life partner who also has an active FNB Private Clients account. Add them as a spouse under the 'My family' tab on the FNB App or speak to your banker. - 1000

Total = 12,500 Points,

There is your Level 5.

This is new, best way to do this?

 

[eddybsb4u]

This is new, best way to do this?

Go to the FNB App > Login > nav-igate Life > nav Money > Smart Budget

Select any category on "Not in my budget", click on "Set Limit", Enter the limit you will never exceed and then click on Save budget and alerts"

You need to have three smart budgets and make sure you never exceed them.

Done, thanks for the tips.
Does this need to be changed every month, or is it set and forget?

Interest + theres a swipe fee per transaction of R6 as well.

Not sure why this happens to some but not others. I don't get charged that fee or interest. Maybe only happens to people that have the petro card linked to their cheque account or have the standalone petro card?

No need to change but you need to check on it every month, just like Track My Rewards

Will this count towards smart spend?

OK so who can anyone confirm who has recently upgraded from Gold to Premier.
Let's say u upgrade after June allocation on the 10th to the premier card.. Wil all transaction made up until 10th on gold card count towards premier spend for the month?
