Tips to Boost your eBucks

[air]

Yeah saving mine too... at 55k eB for the 1st quarter. Will see if I can carry on and create a bonus for end of the year.

very nice going, yes, FNB does make December a tad more palatable
rules changing in July, so June should be interesting...

I was hoping to get a 2nd cc on my account for my gf for her to swipe, but I phoned fnb and ebucks are only awarded on the primary cc, not any additional cc's.

Rubbish! My wife and daughter both have linked cards and collect points.

I think they just say that to minimize ebucks earn. My card should arrive next week.

Save 'em up for those big ticket items. One day you will need a new large appliance or electronic equipment that you can get at Makro.

Yeah I must say it feels nice to get home to a 4k tv and knowing it was free from ebucks

Sure if you hitting your 20% of total spend cap then go for it (checkers vouchers).

But if not, rather get Dischem, Makro, other partner vouchers utilising your 40% off, because normal spend at Checkers gets you 15% (*1.66 = 25%) back in eBucks value. I'll shut up now, FNB prefers ignorant customers

*1.66 = 25%? Huh?

*1.66 = 25%? Huh?

Assuming RL5, you buy R100 fuel. You get eB150 (15% back in eB). You buy Makro a R25 gift card @40% off with your eB150.

You increased your eB150 by 66.666% in value, hence the *1.66 I mentioned. eB150 *1.66666 = R25 in rands.

And that my friends is the secret sauce. Every month I turn R1000 into R1666 with it

Hi....... For months I have bieng getting 1500 points for using 10%-90% of my card limit even though I always used over 100% of my limit. Paid up my card and used over and over again. This past month I did not get my 1500 points this throwing me into reward level 4. Upon calling the call centre they said it's because I have used more then 90% of my limit. When I pointed out that it's bieng like that for months and I do get the points they were dumbfounded. It's now left in the balance. Anyone else with this problem?

they don't mean spend more than your limit. They mean let your balance go over 90% of the limit.

For the past six months I spent way more then 90% of my limit. I still got the points

Its a mistake you only get R25 voucher with your eBucks 150 or R15

Think he just forgot a zero as it should be 1500 EB.

But the maths is right in real money. R250 voucher for R150.

I've been thinking of using makro vouchers to buy a few solar panels and batteries etc and using "free money" to get free electricity. Saw on Saturday, when I spent my R4K vouchers on stuff from Ebucks, that they sell that kit. Not sure on quality. But wouldn't it be cool to be able to do that....

yes but not after putting in R100 worth of fuel...... If i got R250 of Makro for every R100 of fuel i will be sitting at the garage all day long filling up any car that comes in


R100 @ 15% = R15 worth of ebucks ( EB150)

EB150 used to buy vouchers will give you R25 of vouchers.

A good eBucks weekend.

One Apple TV 4 and a 6 month Showmax voucher.

Sorry my bad, will delete all evidence of my secret sauce

Ultimately, one can get up to 25% back in spend in 'Makro/Dischem/Partner of the month' vouchers.

Say your limit is 10000
You'll get the points if you don't go over 9000 balance.
You can spend 20000 on the card if you keep topping it up to keep the outstanding balance below 9k.
That's what I mean when I say they don't care about your usage of the card, but your balance.
