There's an app on the windows store. Think there might also be one on the Android store.
Thank you, saw that. That dev made it 1st for Android. I'd prefer a spreadsheet though, old school an all that :P


Check a few pages back

That one I found a few pages back is for Gold.

Edit: Ok looked again notice there is a platinum one.

Got an official letter saying existing fee saver clients now need a balance of R15 000 to waive all bank fees.
 
Bumped up to level 5 this month. Still waiting for all my ebucks from last month to be loaded.
 
Dammit, didn't qualify for ebucks because my salary only came in on the 1st of June for May :mad:
 
Rates+Telkom+ finish off with some electricity. And do it all in 1 transaction

I pay my Telkom per debit order.

Mmm, might be worth it to pay via easypay. I just wonder what a mission to cancel the debit order (and ask them to pay per easypay) ... mmm, I see I can change it online from debit order to cash ... (sounds tempting)

I had to go to Telkom direct to cancel my debit order, but once there it was quick.
 
Have any of you tried the investment thing ?

A ball ache to setup, but I think it should finally be setup. 50% of my eBucks (R400.00)automatically deposited into a fixed deposit. They keep it over a quarter and deposit one amount per quarter (R1200.00).

No one can tell me when the quarter starts though :/

I have done this, but only 20% of my ebucks for now.
Have gathered ebucks in April, May and June now, and it shows how much will pay out.
So I assume, at least for me, my payout should be next month.

As for these new ebucks rules.../sigh
For the first time I will actually have to monitor what I do and don't do to make sure I get to level 5.
VOX still deducts my bill off my Cheque card, and they don't answer emails at all asking how to change it, because I can't change it via their online portal, only do once of manual payments which is a slept. At least for now I will have to do it until that card expires in November.

I think you are way better off buying Makro vouchers than earning interest on the ebucks moved into the investing account. my 5c
 
I did as well, put it as actual balance settlement and it works now.

Sweet, thanks! I tried both the other ones first for some reason and I didn't want to mess about with the billing cycle so I tried the one at the end of April, the other at the end of May and would have tried Actual balance end of June. If that didn't work I would have called my banker.

I tried to transfer money from my cheque account to my credit card via the FNB App. The stupid app took it from my savings pocket resulting in it going under 15k. I immediatly transfered the money back to the savings pocket. Does this mean I will lose the points?

For anybody interested, this did not affect my ebucks points and I still got the reward level points for not going under 15k. Guess they do update it over night.

Depends on your needs. If you buy a Makro voucher, then you have to buy something from Makro. Let's say you buy a TV - it's actually a depreciating asset so you're losing in the long run. With an interest-bearing account, you're earning interest on money that you've gotten back for free - a much better option for the long term...
 
Ouch! That really sucks.
Why does the date move?

I normally pay myself from the business account on the last day of the month, somehow I forgot and only did it on the 1st :cry:

My stupidity :mad:

Set up a scheduled payment for the last business day of the month now lol
