When I had an issue last time they took 2 months, and eventually put me in contact with a guy who didn't even know that your reward level affects the rate you earn eBucks... he thought your RL only affected discounts when you spend eBucks
True story.

I moved from RL1 to RL4. What I don't understand is that my FNB Connect discount is still 10%. :confused: When will my discount increase??

Damn, so i cancelled with my old ISP too early expecting the FNB Connect discount to kick in first on the 8th and then (when that didn't happen) on the 17th of this month?

So are you saying 1 December the FNB Connect discounts will be effective for eBucks Rewards behaviour during October?

edit: OK, thanks Aessa for your post below :) Will wait till the 17th and see what happens before I decide to sulk :p

I asked them, got this reply:
"... our FNB Connect Division are experiencing problems that will be sorted on Monday 17/11/2014."

I'm waiting for a jump from 0% to 100%

Ok, thanks. Will wait for this to happen before trying to push for RL5. Still considering whether I should get ADSL though.

I'm talking about FNB Connect ADSL discount:

I knew exactly what you were talking about, although I will admit I used the wrong % modifier, it should have been 80% instead of 30%.

Usually close to the end of the current month, I get a SMS saying my next month on FNB Connect ADSl will get x % discount because of my reward level in the current month. So to me it always looked like it was a month delayed.

Hi, is anyone aware if the minimum deposit for the platinum cheque accounts needs to be a single deposit or can it be made up of a number of deposits? Because I have a number of deposits that does exceed the minimum but not as one single deposit and according to my profile I don't qualify as I don't meet the minimum this month.

I have sent an enquiry off to the bank and am awaiting their feedback. If it is 1 single deposit required this isn't going to work though for me.

Thanks

Any number of deposits as long as it totals the required amount within the month.

Hi Guys,

With the new changes coming in October, I thought it prudent for us to share proven ways to boost ebucks earn.

So what works for me is this:

Just so that you know ... I am on level 5 and qualify for a 40% discount. I clear my credit card in full each month as I do not believe in living on credit but value the worth of a good credit rating.


1) I use my ebucks to buy virtual vouchers from Makro. Then I buy the stuff that I need when it goes on special. Usually these are discretionary items like PS4 or Xbox games. Or coffee. (Can someone tell me why its gone so expensive lately, WTF!!!)

2) That FNB saving pocket account is one means of jumping up the tier. I only use it for that purpose.

3) I buy household essentials only from Checkers. Not only have I found it to be cheaper but the kick back from ebucks is awesome. I bought a PS4 game from the kick back last month from makro as well as world cup stuff to donate to a charity.

I will post more in separate post. Gotta run for a meeting.

Cheers,
:)

I have given notice to Ryan Jacobs my banker, of my intention to leave FNB. The new changes are opportunistically unfair. So I have devided to Un-Steve myself of FNB.

What tier /color are your cheque and credit card accounts?
 
Guys remember the new Private banking is now available , which has an earn rate of 2.5% / 5% over the 2% /4% over platinum.

Keep in mind the new private banking uses the same rules as platinum.

The new private banking is based on graphite.

The new private banking is available to the public , not like graphite which was invite only.
