Surely one payment on your cheque card won't be the end of the world?

It's 2000 Rewards Level points less. I've only been with FNB for a few month so every bit helps at this stage :p 2000 points will bring me down quite a bit.

You have the same pin on both cards?

If it is 2000 points you loose because of that, I would recommend taking the R300 temporary loan to make up the points. It will cost you an extra R39

Yep, I usually leave the Cheque card at home, but the cleaner was there so took it with me.

Change one of them.
It's safer all round. Saved me from using it by mistake a couple of times.

Is there any fee for eBucks transfers?
My balli is stuck on RL2 cos he really doesn't do anything to climb the RL ladder (and doesn't care much to change anything, which is fine : to each his own).
But he does score a small amount of eBucks per month... so I was thinking I could get him to transfer his eBucks to me once a year and I'd buy him a makro voucher at 40% discount.

I need to transfer 600K to Aus, is Forex the best way? Do we get 100% back in eBucks for the fees?

EBucks is a spending reward program. If you limit your spending, you're limiting your rewards.

Fwiw, I'm in the same spend/earn bracket as you, but with the ebucks earn + the discounts I'm definitely way out on top compared to fees.

You can easily make your fees back.

You can get max 15% back if you buy fuel and only shop at checkers. You will get more if you use FNB connect.

The point is, if you need to buy something, think about what your rebate will be.

Honestly, this year's ebucks rules are the easiest to get to level 5, and I earned 30% (in a few months) compared to what I have earned in years.

You don't need to do wow things to get to level 5. Once there you will smile.

This has probably been asked before, but is there any eBucks benefit at all when taking out a smart device with the new earn rules?

On pw you get ebucks back for smart dev payments.
I don't think there's a benefit for others?

Probably a terrible way. You would just make a Swift payment instead.

Forex is for converting cash.

There isn't.
For Private Wealth, only those who took it out during the old rules get up to 5000 ebucks back.
