FFS Missed out on RL5 on PW for the first time in a year. For some reason didn't get the 2000 points for

Do you have a Home Loan with us that is in good standing with a minimum outstanding balance of R100 000, a debit order or salary stop order set up and Home Owners Comprehensive Insurance Cover?

Emailed a query to my banker yesterday. Account is definitely in good standing, Balance is definitely over R100,000 with a debit order set up. It's probably to do with my insurance.

How would they know if my insurance isn't up to date unless they we advised so by my insurer, which couldn't be as I have up to date insurance cover.

This is really frustrating and is probably worth about eB 12.000 (the difference between eB 14,000 and eB 26,000)

If you buy something via TakeAlot, you earn on your CC, and you also get 2.5% back from takealot. That is a separate allocation.

What I did was, not specify "earn ebucks" and specify my ID. I did get on the CC spending section.

Hope it is now more clearer

Ah, I didn't realise you get an extra 2.5%...I still can't find where it states that on the eBucks website.

For me, the big change as compared to the previous year was that I could not practically get RL5 without a credit card (on Gold), and the cheque card earn percentages were decreased. Which meant that I had to finally throw the towel in and get a CC.

That is also true ! Without the combination of the CC and cheque account, I don't see you getting to level 5 without making lots of debt

Go to the ebucks site, how to earn, online partners. Click on takealot => Earn 3% back (That is additional from the CC earnings)

If you are not with Outsurance they need you to sent updated cover every year on anniversary, you should send it to home loans

My banker is useless so I called eBucks and they advised that my Home Owners Cover indicator was "No". They advised that I contact HL and ask them why, and got the response you indicated above. I've duly sent this to them ([email protected]) and once updated will ask eBucks to recalculate my rewards.

Fingers crossed!
 
I'm buying iTunes vouchers with eBucks and subscibing to Netflix... hard for me to leave FNB for essentially free Netflix :D
Same goes for Showmax...
 
About this Takealot earning thing. Unless of course i'm missing it again, but if you place an order online with Takealot, there's no confirmation on the order on the website,or your order email that indicates you've locked in that you want to earn eBucks. Just placed two different orders on Takealot in a row and although I punched in my ID and it confirmed during the checkout, no confirmation is given post order.
 
Might get some serious heat for the question...

Does anyone know what the minimum amount you need to spend every month in order to justify signing up for ebucks?

Well, it depends on your situation. I have both a gold cheque and credit card, so iirc there's no fee for eBucks.

You are not allowed to use virtual voucher to buy gift card only cash or cards allowed. I asked the manager personally about this

Not quite correct. I've done this in Hermanus and Big Bay.

Go to the money market and ask them to load your "wi code" onto a gift card. The trick is to say "wi code" as that is what it's called on their system.

I tried the same but they refused saying "for gift card purchases they only accept cash or card not electronic vouchers or wi code
Did you do it recently I think one manager said it was possible before not anymore
