Received this SMS today for my free data on tablet, so sad
I haven't received any sms announcing the end of my free data deal. Still got about 12 months left on the tablet. I'm on PC... You guys?

I think this is unfair, although I am fighting it :
Early July I received a promo letter with 4,000 bonus ebucks for updated home owner insurance. I sent the insurance schedule to the department and asked them for acknowledgement of receipt. The following day I received acknowledgement and was told they'd added to the system. I have no idea if I got the bonus as I'm on level 5 and didn't really check.
Fast forward till November and I see I've dropped to level 4 by 500 points and check why. Amoungst other reasons, I notice the home owners hasn't been loaded and that alone would take me back to level 5. I phoned last week and they confirmed that it was loaded and they'd let eBucks know.
Today I get a mail again saying it wasn't loaded and please resend? I've attached the previous mails and await a reply - but their admin seems a little screwy

maybe because platinum is cheaper than gold
so the gold card should be a higher status than platinum now

Sort off yes . You get online spend and for shopping at takealot.
Its doubled on that also ,think the amount you earn from takealot goes up to 6% from the regular 3%.

No they probably mean the 3% from online spend and the 3% from takealot. Fnb has caused this confusion before. I could be wrong...which would be great! But yeah...they are not very clear in their messages usually.

Great! Thanks man! This will then get me deep into lvl 4.
Yeah, as far as credit goes the overdraft is by far the cheapest option. Ideally you'd want to get to level 5 without having any interest bearing debt. (Opportunity costs are however unavoidable.)
Why not get a temporary loan? R300 - Cost is R39. Pay it back within 30 days.
I move it to my Savings Pocket; I think moving back from credit card may incur some charges..

So one could do this to get points back in a month where you know you've made an oopsie (due to some 'undesirable' banking action) and are going to drop a level due to a shortfall of reward points?

Because the overdraft is way easier and cheaper.
Oh, great idea! Thanks

Unless one is on that relic of the past, Fee Saver!
Yeah, use the savings pocket. Moving cash in and out of your credit card can start accruing interest, savings pocket is free and has none of those worries.
