Server too busy, try again later. (-3)

When will they sort this crap out? Been trying all morning.
Any other websites to pay City of Cape Town bills?

Howzit guys,

Is there any other way that i can use ebucks to book accommodation, besides kulula cos they have a limited amount of establishments listed on their site.

Thanx in advanced.

I picked up ages ago that NOT all hotels appear on their list when you search. Try this:
Use something like Booking.com to identify say 3 hotels that you are interested in.
Then go to eBucks Travel and search. Click on Advanced Options and type in the name of the hotel of your interest. If you are lucky, it will show up.

I once stayed at Bloem Protea Hotel. On the PH website it was R1400 and only R850 through eBucks Travel.
 
i know it's a bit early, but just so I know when to start checking...
When will allocations be in this month?
8th (like the old days) or 12th (like last month)?
 
A question related to air time and ebucks.

Can I renew a contract (take the cheapest option (24) on contract), and just buy bundles via FNB ?

I now it works awesomely for prepaid, but for contract ?

eBucks Angst
-- A phenomenon that occurs during the first two weeks of the month resulting in some FNB customers asking the same questions over and over with other customers telling them "it'll be OK, don't worry, it'll be OK".

Last month they had issues, so my guess is 8th as per normal.

You forgot eBucks Angst Angst
-- A phenomenon that occurs during the first two weeks of the month resulting in some FNB customers complaining incessantly about other FNB customers asking the same questions over and over with other customers telling them "it'll be OK, don't worry, it'll be OK".

All in all eBucks is not only a reward system, but it is also a social service,since it gets the community talking! hehe. :p

Indeed! ... Calculation is reasonably easy for me cos 90% of my eB come from Checkers and fuel ... but my question was more about when to check whether I have my eB allocated, so I can spend it! That's what it's all about, right? :D

If I buy a makro e-voucher with eBucks, can I use it to pay for an online order?
I wanna try out this pick-up locker thing.

I don't believe you can use vouchers to pay for online items through the website (its buried somewhere in the FAQ's as I remember). I emailed Makro about paying for a large online exclusive item on the Makro website using a Makro voucher. I was told that I can go down to the info desk at the store, and through them I will be able to pay using a voucher. I am sure e-voucher and physical voucher should be the same. I'm aware this won't help you though, if you are trying to avoid going into the store.

Ah yes!...Thanks for the response.
I also emailed makro and they replied yesterday... forgot to post the response.
Good day,
Thank you for taking time to contact us.
Unfortunately you are unable to use a voucher when purchasing online; however, you can use your E-Bucks card. Vouchers only apply in store.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

And the discount

Will you still get the discount if you use your eBucks card to buy online? My main reason for buying something from Makro is the discount received...

No, you'll pay with eBucks and no discount applies. To make use of the discount you have to buy Makro vouchers from the eBucks Shop and spend that in-store.

Here is Makro's answer regarding vouchers as online payment method:
"Good day, thank you for your inquiry. Makro is working on a solution that will accept the Makro Gift card online. We will have the functionality available in the near future."

I have recently done that with MTN. They set the limit at zero, meaning that once the free minutes/bundles are finished, you buy your own prepaid. This makes your contract equivalent to a TopUp.
