Tips to Boost your eBucks

[Carol35]

My breakdown of how I received my points have been updated. And I lost points on my Gold account for "Choose to receive all your account statements via e-mail only", even though I only receive my statements via email and "Have a scheduled transfer/payment of at least R250 into an Investment Account and maintain a minimum monthly balance of R2 500 in the same account" even though I have a Share Saver account. So don't know if this will be fixed.

I also dropped a level because of this- and my vehicle finance...these points should have been allocated to keep me on level 5.
Have mailed them and will see what they say!- So damn annoyed. Earned R650 worth of ebucks as opposed to my normal R1.2k-1.5k worth!

Still nothing.

I jumped from lvl 2 to level 4..... Only 500 points needed for lvl 5....woohoo

 

[jamacouve]

I need help to climb , only on RL2 , anyone here that is on LV4,5 that doesnt have a bond or car payments?

 

[Ancalagon]

Still nothing on my side. Only ebucks that I have been allocated are my Takealot points.

On the plus side, Le Creuset vouchers are on special again.

 

[Dolby]

Yea, also nothing on my side. Lady says 12th August latest.

My brother just dropped to Platinum to make it easier to each, as they don't accept interaccount transfers to get the monthly deposit and he got pretty much nothing

 

[Stevi]

Unexpectedly went up to level 4, but these new restrictions give me more or less the same eBucks :wtf:

 

[Carol35]

I never shop at makro unless Im using vouchers but how do they differentiate between groceries and ebucks earning stuff? Should I have different trollies or does the system just pick it up?

Not sure what you mean? I don't think you earn more eBucks at Makro than at other stores, so it doesn't matter.

When earning ebucks when you shop at makro, I thought you dont earn on groceries, only hardware etc etc? Just wanted to know how ebucks picks up what is non earning/ earning goods?

I've never heard of anything like that, I don't think so. I think you earn eBucks no matter what you buy at Makro.

Bear in mind that you will earn eBucks from Makro at the regular spend rate for the card you use - ie maximum of 2% for a credit card.

It will be automated on their side - if that is what they are doing.

Yeah.

If there is anything like that (which as I say I've never heard of) they will do it line by line on their side.

An example is Discovery's HealthyFood cashback. When you use your Discovery card at PicknPay or Woolies, they send the invoice to Discovery, who audits you and credits you for everything on the invoice that counts as a healthyfood item. They probably just have a list of barcodes/products that counts as HealthyFood. Anything in that list, you get money for.

It would be similar with FNB - if they did such a thing.

Sadly not:

You don't earn eBucks from Makro on the following:

Credit notes and trade credit
Gift cards
Food
Tobacco
Household cleaning products and toiletries
Cell phone products
Liquor

lol, wont take chances..will rather buy groceries at Checkers then!

Do you have a flexi fixed deposit ?
Do you only withdraw cash from pick and pay or checkers ?
Do you have a platinum cheque and credit card account ?

 

[Carol35]

Yeah.

Sorry, Im being confusing..you will still earn on your card spend but NOT if you swipe your ebucks card for extra ebucks.

ebucks earning is anything except food / toiletries etc (the list is on the ebucks site)

Noted. I thought you could.

I always assumed it was your normal Swipe Percentage + Makro Percentage.

Same with Takealot? ISn't it your total Online Spend Percentage + Takealot percentage? Otherwise why would you use the partners since you would get less?

RL5 Swipe = 2%

Makro = 0.75%

So it would be silly to use the Partner if you are getting less. Therefore it has to be 2 + 0.75%.

lol- you are right. It is like that. However, you will earn ebucks on groceries at makro for your card swipe but NOT the ebucks card swipe (ie: 0.75%) I just wanted to know how ebucks picks up what is groceries and whats not when you swipe your ebucks card to earn.
