June was less than 6 months ago, so if you did a transaction in June, the 6 months would not yet have elapsed. Although picking up a card does not count as a transaction so you must have done something else not to qualify for thse points.
You should be using your credit card for every swipe, including Checkers. Not receiving the eBucks must have been a glitch. These 4000 points will go a long way to helping you hit level 5.
Investigate some of the cheaper devices on offer. Perhaps paying for a cheap device might push you to level 5 where your increased earn can justify the spend. This should be done quite cautiously though, as it is a long contract to sign for eBucks.
Have you included the additional eBucks that you would earn if you were on level 5 as a result of storing the R5k in the Pocket? It might be that the additional eBucks eclipses the amount of interest you're earning, but you'd need to do a careful calculation to determine whether this is the case.
Hey Mythical,
Thanks for the feedback
1 - it shows me as not having that bonus from July, but I never did anything in the bank (besides fetching the card) so should I contact anyone? is it worth it? If I have all my spend on my Credit card then I will need 1000 more points to go over to level 5.
2 - I agree, but the one month I lost out on major ebucks from checkers because my spend was on my credit card, so I guess it must have been a glitch... will try it again in October. thanks
3 - Yea which is why I have always been cautious to do it, I dont have a need for any of those devices and I can still technically get points elsewhere that will push me to level 5.
4 - I haven't actually considered this no, but I would then temporarily lose the 2 000 points from having R2 500 in a savings account, so at the moment it wouldnt be worth it, only once I have more money put away somewhere!
Thanks so much again! Lets hope I can increase my spend to earn more ebucks
