Cool. I use the FNB Connect account during the day usually and after midnight my Telkom 10GB capped account for unlimited bandwidth from 00:00 to 07:00.

No you didn't. That picture is pretty clear.
That said, I still had both for more than a year. In fact I already had both on 2013 eBucks.
The FNB Connect uncapped with 100% discount I got as soon as I hit reward level 5 the 1st time.
Then because I got myself a smart device, the Asus Nexus 7, I also got 500MB data on it each month.
The 2015 rules probably was just a fix to make it clear you can get both.

Ok, great. I'll take both.
Whoo, in fact it works quite well streaming Sky News while my WA account buffers. Handy!

I don't see the "and" (or even an "or") in the 2015 rules. Surely that mean it's ONLY ADSL that they discount and no more 3G data?

I may be wrong, but I recall something about the free 3G data on smart devices falling away. You still get it if you buoght the smart device when the old rules were in place. Or at least I think you will still get it until the end of this year or something. There after you can get a prepaid sim from FNB which will still get free 50MB data. (Not 100% if that is per month)

They did refund me the Ebucks fee a few days later.

Priority Pass
Who's used the Priority Pass on international lounges? I used it in Dubai Airport, find that the Slow Lounge in SA is even far better ... Bringing a guest cost more than the said R250, amounted to R670, which is no value for money. Interesting that other banks (internationally) offer unlimited access to PP members (based on account type), whilst FNB insist on eBucks program (level 5) to start seeing the value of PP (even 12 per year is not enough if you travel a lot). Sad

What's the procedure for getting into international lounges? In SA you just flash your bank card, but abroad do you need pre-authorisation or what?
You need a priority pass card issued by the lifestyle desk. If you have free entries you won't be charged, if not they debit your linked FNB account.
This is my guaranteed monthly expenses...
I still have some big appliances to buy, but once those are bought; do you guys really think that it's worth it to get a platinum card? - given the amount of points that I will be getting back.
This places me in RL 4 I see.
