You know the saying "don't shiite on your own doorstep"?

I see on the Makro website they have a section for "Online Rewards" that lists ebucks.
Can someone confirm that you can earn ebucks when shopping online with them ? As far as I know you have to produce the ebucks card at the till to earn rewards.
Thanks

Eish.. still no makro e-vouchers

two months in a row now ... I wonder if this is some sort of protection against high transaction volumes.
there have been a few guys that posted (long ago) about delayed SMSs with the voucher number... maybe they (FNB/makro) picked up that the system takes strain on eBucks Day[sup]*[/sup], so they just shut it down every month to protect themselves.
The cost to improve the system might not be easily justifiable cos these vouchers are freebies[sup]**[/sup]

* am I the first to coin that phrase? Can I copyright it?
** not!

I dunno so much about eBucks Day, but I sure as hell have noticed that Makro is the place to avoid in the 2nd weekend of the month......

They were definitely there last month.

 

[hellfire]

A decent eB17700 this month.
No Takealot/Netflorist email though

I apologise unreservedly.
I confused myself cos I recalled a post which pointed out something else missing last month.
I checked further back now ... it was airtime vouchers that went missing for a while.

31147 eBucks this month. Woo hoo. And for about a week I didn't have a credit card. wtf

Sinbad...or anyone else who has done it.

The ordering for Online specials through the store. Do you pay for it on the day when you go order? Or only once they deliver?

On the day.

Any idea what they charge for delivery?

Or would a dishwasher fit into a normal sized car?

A hundred bucks or so.

It's worth it to get them to deliver, then they also carry it inside for you, IMHO

 

[Mythical-]

If I recall correctly, they charged me R300 for delivery of a washing machine and a fridge, but it would have been R300 for just the washing machine alone - this was at the beginning of October. Location was about 20 - 25km from the store, I think this affects the charge.

Edit: That seems a lot, I wonder if I'm remembering correctly :x

Just bought a 5K voucher now

Also bought this morning, but when I went buying at Makro, only the one bought today worked.

Apparently EBucks E voucher supplier has had problems since Friday.

The voucher that I bought on Friday would not work. Twenty minutes of phone call later it was fixed.

This could be the reason the offer disappeared over the weekend.

I fitted a dishwasher into a hatchback with the seats dropped down.
Then again, my car is special ... I moved house twice with it (and no moving service)
200is for life!

Yeah me neither. Sniff... They must not love us all equally then.

LOL.

Golf 5 is probably about the same in the back but I would prefer not to scuff it up.

No worries having them deliver if the price is right.
