Does it come with a happy ending on PW?

Been thinking of upgrading to black.

SLOW in the City
Time and Space for extremely busy people.
SLOW in the City can be found directly opposite the Sandton Gautrain Station, corner of Rivonia and West Street

Well there's one in Cape Town...I've seen it...but can I find it on the website? nope.

I've never used one of these lounges. What's the big deal?

15 minute massage for free for the SO

Do you get out much? :0

Not really.

Yeah dude, where you been hiding? One can really live it up in there

Haven't flown for several years. Last time was before I became a FNB customer three years ago.

Might need to go to South Korea in a few months, so will definitely try it out then.

I didn't know about the massages. I use the bidvest lounge when I travel. Are the slow lounges the same or better.

I prefer Slow.

IIRC, on Platinum you will pay R250 for an international slow lounge visit. It could be worth it if you have long to wait.
PC gets some free visits, again I'm speaking under correction.

Thanks I'll try them out next time.

Seems you get a R250 discount off the R500 charge.

Two free entries a month I think.

I'm going to be using it twice this wend. Both at CT and OR Tambo Airport.
I know from the last time I used it and you can bring a friend with.

 

[Hamish McPanji]

I went to slow lounge for about 45 mins. Was nice enough. They have like cocktail and meze style food.

Was chilled, much better than waiting at the boarding gate.

2 things to watch out for.

1. They don't know if you meet the requirements so make sure your status is OK as per the rules....or you will not be refunded

2. The closing times , peak times (no visitors allowed) and the 90 minute before flight requirement

Only outside peak times.

When are SLOW peak times?

There are peak and off-peak times for SLOW Domestic Lounges. Peak times include Monday to Friday 04h45-07h00 and again between 13h00-17h30 and Sunday 15h00-17h30. All other times not specified above are deemed off-peak times.

How do SLOW peak times affect me?

No guests will be allowed to accompany the cardholder into the SLOW Domestic Lounges during peak times.

What is considered a guest? My wife has a 2nd CC linked to mine. Will she be a guest? What about my kids? Aag I don't suppose it matters. Saw this on the PC rules now :

Qualifying Cardholders visits per calendar month - 4 Including guests (No guests during peak times)

Wont be during peak times so all good!

 

[Putter]

Has anybody confirmed if inter-account transfers count toward the minimum deposit required to qualify for eBucks - eg. FNB Private Clients R32 500?

I have seen this question a few times in this thread, but no-one has confirmed this.

 

[Putter]

Did you ever confirm if inter-account transfers count toward the minimum required deposits? I have the same situation.

My wife and I both have credit cards linked to same account. You can use both. Kids are guests

No it does not . You can transfer to a friends/SO fnb account and transfer it back. It does count then.

2. The closing times , peak times (no visitors allowed) and the 90 minute before flight requirement

So do you always pay and then get refunded? Or is it properly "free" if you meet criteria?

Haven't used them yet.
