Tips to Boost your eBucks

[zerocool2009]

what the heck is the online cap for RMB private????

first R10,000 @ 6% = 6,000EB
that leaves 90787EB to earn at 1% thus spend was R907 870 + R10,000......... R917k online spend :/ did he buy a house??

I think you can get away spending R150 000 and earn so much eB.

Saying that, what is the most eB you received for spending as little as possible ?

Spending = 15% max back ? (There are caps on everything right)

Still waiting to update mine. Can see that they've added the ebucks but the reward level is still not updated.

 

[Ancalagon]

Yeah my reward level says Level 5 on the earn page, but level 4 on the front page. Oh well.

Still needs updating. Usually when my CC statement is issued, my data are updated online

Strange.

On the home page it says I'm on RL4 but when I go into the calculator it says I am RL5 which seems to be correct when I look at ebucks earned for last month.

They'll probably update it later.

It doesn't help that even when things are up to date it's very misleading. The RL points total in the historical reward points earned (at the bottom) that says 'Oct 15' is actually the points accumulated for September 2015. The top part that shows the different tiers with the September reward level and points is correctly represented though!

I was going to put a screenshot here but now I'm not even 100% certain my stuff is up to date :/

edit: Here goes, view with suspicion:

Mmmm, think ebucks got some competition now ...

I know most of you guys know about the Pick and Pay smart shopper card (rewards).

I got an email now from pick and pay ... and saw a section called "Partners" ... Clicked on that and wow ...

The power of that card is also amazing I think. You can buy air line tickets "40%" off (SAA domestic only)
There's a full list ... For spur vouchers, get double the value spend.

Sounds good but I don't want too many rewards programs to keep track of...

I agree Mike ... But I think I will use the points on spur vouchers, lol !

BUuuuuuuuuut - I can earn ebucks spending cash wherever.

I'm pretty sure you can only earn smart shopper points when spending money @ PnP.

Mmmm, some of the partners requires that. With the SAA flights, looks like you spend rands and just use Pick and Pay card number.

I just saw you earn also points when:

-> booking flights via FlySaFair
-> when you book via Eurocar.
-> just by joining planet fitness
-> at galaxy and co.

So clearly you get points for other than only Pick and Pay transactions

I am confused: ebucks in past 32 days is 18k but they only paid 12k out... Anyone had this before? I assume the "earned in past 32 days" will include ebucks that they paid last time?

 

[abudabi]

Also got the mail .. will do the Primi one soon soon.. spend 60 bucks for a 120 buck voucher.

EDIT: Spur switch seems limited to CPT only.

So what have you guys been buying with your eBucks?

Last month: Xbox One @eB36,000 (inc. 40% discount)
This month: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (PS4) @eB7,490 - no discount because Makro doesn't have it yet

I bought a gas oven, and I also bought a bunch of security lights for the house - LED stuff, spent about R5k on that.

And household supplies.

 

[abudabi]

Catered my wife's 40th birthday.. food, booze and decorations / odds & ends.

Thanks eB and Makro

 

[abudabi]

Got 55k eB saved so far for christmas gifts

Mmmm, that section still needs updating.

Only the allocation of eB occurred. The system still needs to update the points, last x days earned, what rules has qualified what not etc etc etc

"Past 32 days" so it overlaps with what you received last month

Add up what you received over the past few days (By checking transaction history on the same page) and I'm pretty sure it will add up to 12k
