Not really, R20k pm spend on PC gets you R400pm in ebucks and R20k pm spend on premier gets you R420pm in ebucks, so quite similar.
Obviously PC has higher caps, so that's beneficial and then of course if you are a high spender the increased smart spend is great.

R25k gets you R600 on Premier and R370 on PC. R230 + increased monthly fees means it may not be a win. The decision might come down to how much you spend on petrol.

Sure, many reasons and things to consider with each.
My initial point was imo the initial barrier, i.e not making level 5 seems easier to achieve now on PC.

Anything more than that PC flies ahead though.

I did an analysis to see if it would be worthwhile for me to upgrade from Premier to PC, for me it wasn't worth it. While the higher caps on Clicks and Checkers would be very useful and would be used fully, I don't spend enough to get through the higher smart spend thresholds. The increase in eBucks would barely have covered the increase in fees, so I left it.

That's the way to go about it. Do the homework based on your spending behaviour and then make the call. No point in following some generic thought pattern.

Anybody else on Premier Fusion get charged R65 fee for their Money Maximiser account? The new pricing guide specifically says the fee is included and you will save R65.

Update. Just been talking to Secure Chat banker and she tells me, oh it looks like the pricing guide is wrong, that is only meant to be for senior clients. Funny, as the Premier Select pricing guide does not mention this at all, it's clearly stated on the regular Premier pricing guide. She is going to escalate it to the Pricing Team. I get the feeling the pricing guide is going to quickly change.

No, you have to request that it gets upgraded too.

Seriously why would you want one on a lower tier?
The consultant did tell me a few times the new monthly fee would be R229, which is the cost of the bundle option so I hope they've both been automatically upgraded.

Those who recently moved from Gold to Premier, did you have to specifically ask for the cc to also be upgraded?

Oh sorry, guess I was wrong. The consultant asked me if I wanted to upgrade the credit card
