This is what I did...

Bought a heavily discounted makro voucher using ebucks.
Had the makro voucher converted to a gift card in store.
Swiped my ebucks card to receive points and makro gift card to pay.
Therefore earning ebucks on ebucks.

Let me get this straight: You used your virtual voucher to buy a gift card and earned ebucks at .75% on this transaction by swiping your ebucks card.
When you use your gift card you can swipe your ebucks card again, and earn another .75% in ebucks.
Genius.

You don't have to convert the voucher into a gift card to do this.
You'll still earn on qualifying products as long as you swipe your ebucks card. Earn rate is low at 0.75% but better than nothing.

No, he didn't pay using his CC , so points only earned on eBucks card

I used the converted makro gift card to pay for the purchases and earned points for swiping my ebucks card.

I know, that is exactly what I said

You don't earn any eBucks by using the gift card. Double swipe is when you purchase using CC and earn on eBucks card as well

Everything except for groceries will earn eBucks when you swipe your eBucks card.

You do earn eBucks when using a gift card if you swipe your eBucks when paying provided that what you buy is not groceries.

Ffs. Does nobody read? You earn ebucks because you swipe your Ebucks card, NOT because you use the gift card

This.

He got 0.75 percent for purchasing a physical makro gift card using his virtual voucher by also swiping his ebucks card.
Then he got 0.75 percent for making a purchase with the physical gift card by also swiping his ebucks card.
Hence the double earn.

Nope. You will be charged normal cash deposit fee's.

Not sure if the first deposit is still free.

Those percentages are tiny. It isnt worth the effort.

It's R32.50 (worth of eBucks) per R5,000.
If you have 2 x R5,000 vouchers it's worth it?
