I was told I can use the gold card until the premier one arrives.. My gold card balances has also been moved over to premier.. Consultany said gold card will be moved off profile in a months time

I can still use my Gold CC even with 0 balance?

You have to go through that process every time you want to tap to pay with VCC?
I noticed I couldn't see any way to make the VCC the default tap to pay card

In the app on the home screen you will find a icon "cards", you will find the VVC there. I find this an easier way.

I received free data and minutes without loading airtime

I had/have to load airtime to keep sim active, they cancelled it after 3 months once they saw no airtime activity. So I had to phone in to re-activate sim.

I used mine this morning without any problems.

So, with fusion account you will only pay that service fee when your account is -R200?

Correct

+1 for Tunnel Bear. That's what I used. I googled a random Argentina address and it was smooth sailing. Single plan though, not family plan.

Tunnel bear has Argentina and I used a random Argentina address but I keep getting an error after pressing buy:
"Your transaction cannot be completed. [OR-HDT-01]"
Did you use a normal CC or VCC to check out?

Is it possible to setup Garmin pay with a virtual card?

Nope, I tried and then had a lot of difficulty getting my credit card back on my Garmin lol.

Now that I'm in limbo with my Premier cards still to be delivered, which of my Gold cards can I still use?

Seems the Gold CC cards are dead, balance moved over to the new card but the cheque cards are still active?
The only way to use the Premier cc is via tap or scan to pay?

If u use your cheque card you wont get your Kauai benefit.. I learnt the hard way

Did you use a normal CC or VCC to check out?

I used VCC, but tied to my premier fusion account, as my CC isn't active yet. I got declined the first time because I typed in the wrong CVV number. Also did it on mobile if that helps.

I saw in the eBucks rules that if you joined after a certain time you only get a once off amount when you first get the SIM and that's it. It's a paltry amount anyway, I just use the minutes because I have a dual SIM phone but if I didn't it probably would never get used.

Does your SIM/number show up under "Connect" on the FNB app?

Yes it does show under Connect as prepaid

 

[Supercarfan]

Apparently so..

Yup, if you go into your new credit account > My Cards, you should see your existing gold card even on you premier acc. The icon might not be gold anymore, but the card number should be the same.

About a month after your new card arrives your old cards will automatically cancel and disappear.

TunnelBear FTW. I did mine on the laptop via an incognito browser.

Did that with a family member's yo..tu..be account. Had to provide an ARG address(used hotel), and wife's virtual cc as payment method to get a family pre..mier subscription. Might have sent the invitations to rest of family to join, while still having tunnelbear on. So it's working now, without vpn, for the main yt account.
1. Still no charge on the [wife's] cc- it's one month free. Will the charge still be in [arg] peso when the free period expires?
2. No go for everyone else. Trying to accept invitations only brings "not in the same country" error. Looks like main member has to delete group, and recreate without tunnelbear, and then send invitations- according to some info on a uk group. Can anyone confirm?

I had already had the family set up. I cancelled my existing sub and resubscribed at the ARS rate. Used my SA address when asked - they only needed street and city.

 

[STORMERSFAN]

OK so tried using virtual card on premier cc acc.. Did not work!used my gold gold physical card.. Did work but went off the gold account that had a zero balance.. Premier card balance stayed the same..was the purchase not supposed to go off premier acc cc?or could it be that they will just move the balances over every time?

Anyone managed to get the family subscription(is it possible) to work? Keeps showing "you're not in the same country...".

I’ve got it to work

So you used your Sa address but only Argentinian VPN and it worked?

I used an Argentinian address as well, maybe that's why my checkout failed.
