I have a question for the smart ebucks people on here, I am currently on reward level 4, so I get 30% discount (potentially) on flight tickets. I'm possibly going to Jo'burg next weekend for work, but I want to take my wife with, would it be possible to book her ticket using my discount? I loaded her as a traveler on my account but it says she doesn't qualify for the discount.

On the slow lounge visits it also shows unlimited, in the past I could take a guest with me in and it would count as an extra visit, can I still do that now seeing as there's so defined limit?

Cant answer the flights question, I am more curious how Dylan_G can get you to level 5 :ROFL::D

Look, I've been somewhere between 1 and 3 for the last few years, just move up to 4 2 days ago, I'm not complaining, especially not if I could get this ticket discounted by 30%. That's a substantial saving.

I tried to book my son a ticket to Japan about 3 months ago using my account and my eBucks and they wouldn't allow it, they said for me only. Not sure if it's different for domestic or what the rules are.

look on flysafair usually way cheaper than even with the 40% discount. From my experience at leaste

  • The main member's qualifying family members can get up to a 40%* discount (depending on your eBucks reward level) when booking with discount partners, as long as :
    • The main member and their spouse hold the same Qualifying Accounts/banking product
    • The main member's children are between the ages of 2 and 24 years old and have an active FNB Youth Account;
    • The main member, their spouse and their children are all part of an FNB/RMB Bank family profile.

True that last sentence
On two occasions they robbed me and did nothing about it
Once was for eB15000 and another for eB9000
I have had success more than once without too much effort to have ebucks allocation errors fixed afterwards . Once it was on home loan points not allocated robbing me from level 5. Did get the ebucks afterwards.
I found the best way to complain is to use the apps ebucks / self-service / query and type in the details with proof. (I type on pc, use WhatsApp to transfer text to phone and paste in app). I normally get a response within a day or two. I did have a convincing case each time.

She qualifies for a discount based on your status if she has a linked Spousal account.

Yes re Slow Lounge, provided you aren't trying to take her in over peak times

Checkers extra eBucks is in! :)

Mine seem much higher than I expected actually. Not that I am complaining.
Yeah. It looks like they either made a mistake or the rules weren't clear. We were under the impression that you earned double on just the first R2000

I earned about 10% of my actual Checkers earn, which is weird because I made sure to pay for all Checkers shopping with my virtual card.

Seems I did not use my virtual card enough at checkers, mainly because the wife use physical one :(

Does anyone know how to link an ewallet to your account? Have they removed this feature?

I've been sent an ewallet and I remember you used to be able to transfer it to one of your accounts instead of withdrawing it
