Hahaha.. call it bbucks
Any idea how the 3000 points for not using your cheque card works?I don't see it on the site? Does that mean you'll get 3000 points extra over and above everything else?
the eBucks calculator on the site has not been updated yet either.

I'm pretty sure once your upgrade is done you will default to the correct product rates and caps immediately for the next eBucks payout.

Yeah FNB sucks like that. One of my mates is in marketing. FNB approaches them and makes them do a campaign. FNB then declines and a few months later he sees all his ideas modified by them and being used. Apparently if you make a certain amount of changes the copyright falls away. I suggest you do that. Make it baby blue and put a picture of a bush.
Change the name to ZNB and call them fbucks

Anyone else receive this sms?
FNBGet rewarded with double eBucks by simply swiping your credit card for everyday purchases.
Yes - I think they just reminding you to use your credit card instead or the cheque card

Also got the SMS. Does it cost the merchants more if a credit card is used instead of a debit/cheque card?
i dont think so.. but cards are cheaper than cash for merchants... and if the bank can get you to use your credit card (their money)... there will be more chance of you having to pay interest? It is a business after all... and they adapt rules to change or try and force behaviour

Yes, the fees are higher for them but the fees on credit card were reduced recently, so now the gap is not as wide anymore. There was a MyBB article on it recently, credit card interchange fees or something like that.

The interchange rates on credit cards is higher than on cheque cards which is the reason for the push from eBucks side.

100% correct... found this one.. http://www.clasa.co.za/the-biggest-banking-story-of-the-year/
The gap is indeed much smaller now.

So at a glance and comparing to eBucks reward levels, if one is on Platinum RL5 for example, then FNB is making a loss on such individuals? RL5 would award 2% back to RL5 customers. And 4% for online purchases...
