Tips to Boost your eBucks

[StrontiumDog]

I know FNB pricing changes in July yearly ... Ebucks are a few months after only (That is my view)

Well it's official then, we can all rest easy now

True ... I dropped only in Oct from level 5 to 1 according to the new rules last year.

FNB going balls to wall with PC advertising. This will ensure the bankers have massive portfolios to look after and the service levels will suffer as was the case with premier.

Platinum has also had massive advertising drives in recent times. I don't earn even close to their qualifying criteria, but they still want to rub it off on me.

Guys, I filled petrol at the Engen (Oxford service station, opposite Rosebank Mall) today for +-R600. Then I went to mini woolworths/engen shop thing for some stuff for around R70.

I noticed on both SMS's from FNB it says "reserved R<insert money here> @ Oxford service station".

So how do they differentiate whether you got petrol or food?

I've kept slips anyways.

If you look at the slips, one of them will have a fuel amount on it.

Radio, print, everywhere. Hardly aligned to how you normally advertise to the LSM the product is aimed at. Shows they want mass adoption whether you earn the right money or not. Imo of course.

Do both slips have the same merchant id on them?

No they do not.

Would this be how they differentiate transactions then? Or do they have access to information on what you purchased per transaction?

I think it is more that the shop is registered to use VISA ... and they know more detail about what the shop is ... If I can take a guess

Does anyone know ... if you buy on bid or buy, and use their system for payment via CC ... is that seen as onlineshopping ?

yes it does.

So long as you use your card number and CVV code it counts as online shopping.

I'm assuming the PP electricity does not apply to UNIPIN prepaid meters?

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but am I right in thinking you can buy Makro/Hi-Fi Corp/etc vouchers with your eBucks and then earn eBucks again when you spend said vouchers + use your CC to pay for your purchase?

Yes. Earn rate is very low though. I think 1%.

You will earn eBucks on the payment made with the gift card and with the CC. So yes, earning eBucks on your eBucks... boggles the mind hey?

So i might have misplaced a makro gift card with about R1600 loaded on to it. Can these things be cancelled and reissued provided some kind of proof of ownership?

I have misplaced electronic voucher codes for makro before and eBucks have resent them to me, not sure what the consequences around lost physical cards are though.
