Cape Union Mart and Le Creuset vouchers 40% off

PW cap: R2000 Voucher pay R1200
PC cap: R1500 Voucher pay R900
Premier cap: R1000 Voucher pay R600

Vouchers limited to one full cap per month, not one full cap per store

Example, you can not max your cap at Cape Union Mart and then max your cap at Le Creuset within the month and still qualify for 40% off

You can, however, if I'm not mistaken, split your cap between both stores

Has anyone else had issues with Paying at the Engen Garage with either Samsung Pay or FNB Pay, If I use Samsung Pay it always errors and If I use FNB Pay it asks me for a pin, I even went on the app to check it still said declined.

If I use Garmin Pay via my watch everything is fine, but this time my watch was flat, luckily the attendant asked if I want to use the scan-to-pay feature which worked perfectly and I was able to use my VCC. Just find it strange that Samsung pay and FNB pay is giving problems

Yup! First started on the 21st of October on my side, I spent over an hour trying everything (restarting, scan to pay/ fnb pay directly from the app) while on the phone with FNB and eBucks people, but nothing worked. I ultimately paid using my cheque card as it was the only one I luckily had with me and missed out on ebucks. Next time at another Engen could not tap to pay using my phone but ultimately managed to do scan to pay via the app.

Yes, have had to retry a few times with FNB Pay and some instances had to get them to bring a different POS terminal.

Google wallet works fine all the time, I use Google wallet after hitting the fuel cap or reaching the weekly FNB Pay cap.

I had a scan to pay issue. I found that it stops working close to midnight. Happened to me twice…

I thought it doesn't matter what payment method you used as long as you use your Virtual Credit Card (VCC).

My VCC is linked to Garmin Pay and I have received the Ebucks for it, shouldn't Google Wallet work the same?

I am pretty sure which wallet you use (Google Wallet / Garmin Pay / FNB pay) is not the important thing. The important thing is using a wallet with an associated VCC as much as possible.

I use Google wallet all of the time, unless I need to scan a QR code to pay, in which case I use FNB scan to pay. Only in rare times do I use Garmin pay because I have found google wallet much easier to use.
