Okay I've gone through the new list of requirements again. Should be able to get back to RW5 without much effort, although maybe not from next month already.

Made my first kulula booking tonight using the discount, although it would've been very much the same using flysafair, kulula's flights are just at more convenient times and they fly to more destinations (wanted to go to Lanseria and not OR Thambo).

Going to play around a bit on the ebucks travel site...that passport needs a stamp!
 
So FYI, the Makro gift card i misplaced, since i had the receipt they were able to check the balance, cancel the card, reissue the value to a new card. They will contact me when its ready. Can take up to 14 days.

Happy days as there was R1700 on it!

Spent 2k at Makro today using old gift cards :)

Awesome!

I bought a Cape Union Mart gift card the other day using ebucks. Was standing in the store wanting to buy and was hoping they will sms me a code or something. But they had to courier it...

Haven't bought Makro vouchers yet, but as I understand that goes faster.
 
Makro SMS virtual vouchers = Winning :p
Those are delivered in a few minutes but obviously expect a 2 to 3 days for the physical gift cards to be couriered to you.
 
Hate that they charge to deliver the gift cards. Makro sms vouchers ftw!

Yeah, so I make sure I order a lot when getting gift cards. Just ordered 2k of Dis-Chem and almost 2k of Incredible Corruption. Makes me sad when my eBucks balance goes down though! :(
 
Did anybody get charged on the 08 Jul 2015 #MONTHLY REWARDS FEE RVSL R16.50? I'm on the Bundle that I pay R199 per month and I'm thinking why do I have to pay an additional R16.50 still? Maybe it's some I haven't read or missed out on something?

It is actually the reversal fee... They charged me R16.50 on the 2 July and reversed it on the 8 July.

I went to Old Khaki on the weekend on bought something for R499.00 (PC client , paid with credit card)


Am I right in saying I get 2.5% back for the swipe (R12,47) AND 1.5% (R7,48) because Old Khaki are a Partner?
Or was I supposed to do something with my eBucks card?
 
An update from my premier bankier : If you are on the fee saver option, and paid R200 for the yearly ebucks administration fee (in Feb)...

I asked the question "We are charged now per month, but we paid R200 in admin fees in Feb ... what now?"

Reply :
"Kindly be advised that you all customers charged with the annual linkage fee R200.00 will be receiving a rebate. However, l am unable to say when exactly but should be before end of this month."

Just realised I made a boo boo. I haven't swiped with my cheque card however when I purchased electricity and airtime via fnb it went off my cheque account. I think this loses me points for 100% of spend on CC.

My understanding is that anything you do online is fine.

It's only relevant to swipes.

No it doesn't.

Been thinking about this for a while actually. Only reason I am staying on Platinum is, if I downgrade I lose the fee saver option. Now the option is not that viable anymore, it might make sense to downgrade. I see no benefit in having platinum to be honest.

I actually did the opposite, I upgraded to platinum now to keep my ADSL discounts which won't be there on gold anymore.
Getting to l5 means free uncapped which is equal to my banking fees (overdrafts etc taking into consideration) so it was a no brainier to go plat for me. if you don't use ADSL however it might be different
 
How does the ADSL discount work? Do you get it taken off the following month's invoice?
 
So i only get 1500 points for having an investment account which meets the average monthly balance of R10 000 or more. Its R10k in the account. To get an additional 500 points more, how much do I need to put in?
