Received this email just now: FNB Connect Payment of R0.00 for your Uncapped ADSL acc has been processed"
Does this "payment" refer to the month of June, or for next month?

I have a Gold account and noticed that the FNB connect ADSL discount benefit will fall away with the new rules. Will that be for ADSL access in July, or in August? I would hate to pay for this. Currently only using it as backup account. By what date should we cancel this service if we dont want to continue paying monthly for this crap?
 
Have a scheduled transfer/payment of at least R500 into an FNB Investment Account (excluding an Equity Trading Account) and maintain a minimum monthly balance of R5 000 in the same account

Is this a monthly transfer?

Appears that my post has been deleted for some odd reason. You need to have cancelled by the 25th, which I didn't so now I need to pay R400.

EDIT: Just followed up: Next month is still billed at discounted rates. Cancel by 25 July to not pay the full amount.

I've been taking R300 temporary loan for the last couple of months to get the points for ebucks. This month the online system tells me I'm not eligible.
The call centre lady says the system decides randomly who can take loans and that I should just check everyday.
Can someone confirm this? I need the points to stay on level 5.

WTF. How can qualification of a credit product be randomly generated by the system.

I would ask to speak to someone else.

A few members had this full discussion regarding how to get the 4000 points when only using your CC.

The long and short story is. Debit orders are fine on your current account. Cash@tills using your cheque card is also fine

Was the cashtills part definitely confirmed?

Yes - I think they just reminding you to use your credit card instead or the cheque card

I can confirm .. this is a sales pitch to let customers know to swipe your credit card more.

In my case, I am only using my credit card ...

And the result ... I will just earn what I earn (not double or more at all)
 
Has anyone upgraded recently from platinum to PC or PW. I would like to upgrade but I'm currently on RL5 and have been told that for the transition month will drop to RL1 due to credit card system taking longer. Anyway to time this to not drop if I can get all my points in place based on the criteria for reward level points.
Thanks
 
"Have a total monthly deposit of at least R4 700 in a Gold Cheque Account."

Does this have to be one deposit of R4 700 or more, or can it be smaller separate deposits over the whole month?

separate deposits over the whole month.
Does your salary not get deposited into your account?

What the hell? That sucks :mad: If anything they should try to make the transition as painless as possible. Why should you be penalised with a hit of a few thousand eBucks due to their convoluted way of effecting changes!

My question exactly. Their answer: Oh well, thats how it is.

I fell from RL5 to RL3 or RL2 for a month due to upgrading from GOLD to PLAT...

It does but my salary only got paid today so it will only be in tomorrow. But I had a few payments through the month that at least makes up the R4700.
 
Okay so how does the auto-payment of the card work?

Firstly which option is actually the correct one for full payment of the balance? I chose the one that says "straight" in brackets behind it.

Secondly I set hte date to 31st of the month, but this month only being 30 days I wonder what happens now since I don't see it having auto-paid yet? Does it only happen at the end of the day? Does it just ignore the 30th and just won't do it or what?

Don't rely on the auto payment ,failed once. Actually had to pay interest on my credit card that month lol

Just enable the auto payment ,and pay your credit card manually. The auto payment will not take place ,because you paid your credit card on time. You will still earn the ebucks even know the auto payment did not take place. The auto payment is just so that bank know they will be able to take money off your main account if you did not pay it on time.
 
Is there a button somewhere for "pay my credit card" or is it a fully manual setup?

It's only due tomorrow so I'll see if it auto-pays today and if it doesn't I'll do it manually tomorrow.
