Does anyone know if the 40% Cape Union Mart offer will be reinstated?

Missed it by one FREAKEN day! No longer on the website :/

Ok nowhere in the list of what I can still do to earn more points does it say maintain a R75k balance :wtf: That's just insane :D and its a yes on both questions... cash@tills and all purchases on CC.

Thanks for the answers... I'll maintain the 10k balance see what the next round holds.

Sorry ... sorry ... the R75 000 rule is on the fee saver. FNB changed their rule for current clients on the fee saver option.

After reading the persons post (the R10 000), I thought he was talking about the fee saver option. But I was wrong, that is why I deleted my post.

There is a rule for the minimum in your bank account (Cheque account), and yes, I think it is R10K. If it drops to R9999, you wont get those points

Read through all the rules ... you don't need to make debt to get on level 5 at all (Take note of that)
 
Yeah basically they reward 2 types of customers.
1) those that makes debt, where they score interest
2) those that saves a lot with them, enough so that that money can be borrowed by those that make debt, and also creates income for the bank by having them get a cut from the interest

If you just bank with them, and they don't make money from you in interest, you don't get rewarded as much.

Or 3) those that can play the eBucks game correctly so that they don't necessarily make them any money but still get the rewards

It's musical chairs nowadays remember ... keeps changing each month.
Incredible Connection vouchers now on 40% discount.
Physical vouchers only, though.

I'm saving some of my eB for when ProShop gets 40% discounts.
 
Hi Guys,

In order to get tier points one way is "Use your FNB Platinum Cheque or Credit Card to shop online or swipe internationally (min R 1000)". So I wanted to know what does FNB regard as "online shopping"? Is paying bills through easy pay counted? Or paying bills online?

Technically that means you do the generics that you can, but you still will fall in 1 or 2 some way or another.

Example, how many here do the will with fnb? thats a nice interest cut they will get when you go kaput.

Not to be confrontational, but if you don't do any of the savings-related stuff, and you can manage your payments on the CC well enough that you never pay interest (see my previous 100 posts asking how to never pay interest), then you can get to RL5 by only paying the bundle fees. Here's how i did it on Gold... (19000 RL points)

Oh ... and i get the last 2000 RL points by default for an Islamic account, so i didn't actually take a loan. You can make up for those lost points if you just have your CC for longer than 6 months and don't exceed the limit.
 
I see that uncapped ADSL is also free on RL5

anyone can provide info on this part: Uncapped accounts are billed monthly in advance.
You will be billed on the 26th day of the month for the next months allocation.

So how does this work? Do they bill you and then refund you according to your RL ??

I am quite sure that FNB killed the ADSL benefit in the 2015 rules.
Search back in the thread for ADSL... I remember it being discussed.
Here's the official (2015) rules page for Gold: https://www.ebucks.com/web/eBucks/earn/fnb-gold-2015.jsp

Yip - it counts. Also counts if using SnapScan to pay for things
