Tips to Boost your eBucks

[ABU]

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

Forex is for converting cash.

Not so.
You get up to 50% back on the costs of Swift transfers.

Earn up to 50% back in eBucks on your transaction charges when you send or receive foreign currency via Online Banking or the FNB Banking App.

Quick question with regarding the rule where you only have to use your credit card and not your cheque card. How do you guys fill up, doesn't fuel attract immediate interest? I always thought fuel is a special item that attracts immediate interest? Am i wrong here?

It may have been once, but now it's treated like any other purchase. No interest unless you miss a payment due date.

That moment you get your card back from the till lady at Checkers and you realise it's your Cheque card and not your credit card. Then look at your wallet and realise your wife switched the positions of where you usually keep your credit card. 2000 Reward points instantly gone. Sigh.

My card was renewed recently and I had the choice of choosing what it looks like. Made sure I chose one that looks different:

Do the different PIN thing and take a nice red koki and deface the front of the cheque card

Why would you carry both cards and not just the credit card?

I use my cheque card for atm withdrawals.

I carry mine for cash@till ... it has been mentioned on this thread that you get charged interest from day-1 on cash withdrawals from the credit card

Sure of this? Does fuel no longer have immediate interest??

Not if you use your credit card. Only if you use a petrol card.

I am. I have been for several months.

The only additional fee i had this past cycle was a teller accidentally putting a transaction on through budget (which i have none). No interest charged however, and i only use my credit card.

Someone else had a great tip - just transfer into your cellphone number eWallet and then withdraw from the ATM using a PIN.
That way you aren't limited to silly cash@till if you need money.

Indeed! But that incurs a separate fee ... which kind of defeats the purpose of paying an all-in-one monthly fee for my account. I do use eWallet in a push, but I hate it when I do.
Still ... if it's eWallet or RL4 (as opposed to RL5), I'll pick eWallet

yep R9.50 to use ewallet ,max amount is R3000.

Its cheaper to ewallet yourself then to withdraw R3000 from your own account lol

Anyone knows off-hand how much an ewallet costs?

You do realise that you can use your credit card for cheque account withdrawals?

I don't have them linked. Too easy to press the wrong button and draw from the wrong account
