It's not technically free - you pay R200 per year.

That's not set in stone, and not applicable to everyone...
A linkage fee of R200 is charged in order to link your FNB Gold Credit Card to earn eBucks. The R200 linkage fee is billed upfront to your Gold Credit Card, thereafter charged annually on the anniversary of your initial linkage date.

If you only have a Platinum Credit Card, a linkage fee of R200 is charged in order to link your FNB Platinum Credit Card to earn eBucks. The R200 linkage fee is billed upfront to your FNB Platinum Credit Card, thereafter charged annually on the anniversary of your initial linkage date.

Sure if you're on Gold and want to get to L5, then getting a credit card and paying the fee is easier. But you don't need a credit card to qualify for eBucks...

They would not offer it if it cost them money, so you or at the very least someone is paying.

If that someone is not me, then it is free as far as I'm concerned.

Already explained a while back, it's not just about the bank making money. It can also be about rewarding people who change their banking behaviour in order to save the bank money and/or reduce risk to the bank. Why do you think that you're rewarded for drawing cash@till instead of an ATM? Because it reduces the risk (for both merchant and bank) that's usually involved when handling cash...
 
I don't see how they reduced fraud on cloned cards however with all this swiping going around. I got hit on that, and I still don't even know where that would have happened, because most of the time I refuse to let agents swipe my card, I prefer to do it myself.

Why? It's not your issue if the card gets cloned, it's the card issuers problem

It is still my issue, because I have to report the fraud, and then go pickup a new card at a branch after my current got cancelled. And I sit without that card for 3-4 days.

Hi Sinbad,

I'm sitting at 17000pts - RL4, and am missing the points for my overdraft. And they were cheeky and im not getting the 1000pts from my incontact stuff. Banker said i must fool the system by doing dummy updates... And that she has asked the ebucks people to investigate the O/D points after she verified that i did use my O/D.

So - send it through to your banker to get it sorted asap.

I want my full ebucks back for my Device!

And - i did get 1000pts for my smart device contract - so thats cool that that carried through :-)
