Has anyone managed to figure out if snapscan falls under online shopping?
 
If I have a balance owing of 15% on my overdraft, when my salary goes in there it will go into the positive again. Does that mean I'll never get the points for staying between 10%-90% for O-Draft usage?

I think the 10-90% rule applies for credit cards, not overdraft.
 
FFS- dropped down to RL4 for this cycle thanks to the husband drawing cash from an atm. Only got 2000 points instead of 4k. I may have to ban him from using his card for anything- he just asked me to draw money for him for fuel, I mean WTF!!! :confused: lol.

ROFL he could have used that same card to pay for the petrol instead and saved himself some time and money counting...

I think for overdraft, you only need to be between 10-90% for 1-2 days of the month. If less, chances are that rule will not trigger.
That said, as posted above me (by you), looks like your overdraft needs to be at least R5000 capable, thus at least R500 used, for more than 2 days and that rule should trigger. At least that is how it worked for me on the previous system before October 2014 rules change.

Anyone else also only getting 1000/4000 points for cash at till? I didn't use an ATM at all.

For that I got 1500/1500.

But for "Maintain a minimum monthly balance in your FNB Platinum Cheque Account or linked Savings Pocket of R15 000 or more" I only got 1000/2000. Not sure why.
 
Their systems are not setup properly. In December I got the 500 points for registering for inContact. Didn't get those points now. Really not keen to check my points every month.

1000 points is for maintaining a balance of R15 000, while 2000 is for a balance of R50 000.
You probably maintained R15 000, which is why you got 1000 out of the 2000
 
I was wondering what counts as bank transactions, especially in the two following cases:

* Had to draw a bank statement(3 months) due to a Stealership not accepting the internet version.

* Had Some tenants deposit their rent(cash) via an ATM into my account (and yes i paid bank fee;s to receive that)

sigh
will have to see how my reward rules was affected

A-holes... Did they ask beforehand or did they just go ahead and do it? Some tenants are a different breed I tell you.

* Bank statements did cause me to lose those points.

Same earn for Telkom when paying through Easy pay or different?

Haven't tried it myself, but EasyPay website should be the same earn rate, and should also "tick the box" for the 2500 RL points for online shopping. Can anyone with firsthand experience confirm?

Yep..im confused too. In Dec i deposited 5k cash via an atm, no cash withdrawals via an atm but a few at the tills and got my entire 4000 points. In Jan, 2 atm withdrawals thanks to the husband...a few cash backs at the till and no cash deposits and my allocation was only 2000 points...so dont really know?

Thanks for the info. I went into "the zone" now so will see in a month's time if they award my points.
 
Yeah, back on L5. Took me 4 months of fighting and getting them to "fix" my awards every month.
Hopefully it will stay this way now.
