Tips to Boost your eBucks

[arr0w]

Got 55k eB saved so far for christmas gifts

Screw xmas gifts go on holiday.

Spend new years eve in another city or country.

Try incredible connection when a game isnt available at makro.

Doesnt incredible give you a discount aswell?

Sometimes, but they haven't offered 40% vouchers for IC for a couple of months now. They don't have the game in any event...

 

[whatwhat]

So the best way to spend eBucks is just to buy the Makro vouchers at 40% discount?

Heheh... yeah. There will probably be eB left for that... but you don't get the 40% discount for travel (that I could see)

Just went away on some timeshare that we have. That works out better for us at the moment.. but eish.. the levys are climbing every year.

There's a lot of merchants giving 40% off (Not only just Makro)

Any of the 40% discount ones, yeah. Except the ones where you can earn 15% (like checkers)

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.

The Pick n pay rewards sucks. Ebucks is better.

Will give you a few examples :

The percentage earned with pnp purchases is a lot lower vs percentage earned with ebucks.

You have to spend R1000 in one transaction @pnp to receive R50 back. That R50 can only be spent @bp and that promotion is now over.

SAA promotion over

Flysafair promotion almost over and isnt worth it. Discount on applies to base fare i.e excludes airport taxes + add R150 for your luggage. Nee Dankie. Online airline sales are cheaper. Promotion almost over & limited to a period in which you can travel.

The earn rate is too low with smart shopper to justify me going to pnp.

How much do you have to spend @pnp to receive R60 from them? So I can buy a primi voucher.

I will shop @ checkers and receive 15%. I will only shop at pnp once I have reached the reward cap @checkers.

You have to sign up with planet fitness for a 24month contract to get smart shopper points. No thanx pnp.

Do you trade your games at bt games, once you are bored of them?

Car hire, kulula and accommodation.

It can cost you R1700 in ebucks for a 3 night stay in cape town(including breakfast).

Nope, I like having a collection of "my" games

BT would actually be a great eB partner.

 

[muazzamb]

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

Last was a TV @eb27000 with Makro 40% discount
Before that was Telkom R1800 airtime with 40% discount for data bundle

I havent used my ps3 in ages. I have the fat ps3 and it has dust on it at the mo.

I am a casual gamer so basically : tekken,mortal kombat, need for speed, Uncharted etc.

Am now saving up for a Canon 70D

 

[arr0w]

I wish fnb would do a "summer promotion" or "xmas promo".

Something like ho ho ho b1tches we are giving you up to 40% at bp service stations.

Skywise and flysafair should look @ teaming up with ebucks. They kinda need the exposure.

At your earn rate.. that's what... about 3 month's worth of saving up.. not bad at all.

Can't _reallllllllly_ justify it... the 70d is pretty close specwise.
