Cool I've been paying Telkom through their interface.

But have a bit rates bill from previous house to pay but stalling it till September and then I'll pay it with Easypay otherwise I piss that away.
 
Anybody have luck in paying Tshwane Municipality Bill through EasyPay?

Doing my Telkom that way now but my latest W+L Bills (last 8 or 9 months) do not have the EasyPay number or logo on it anymore. And when I used an older bill and that number it does not load it as a beneficiary. Even though it says on the site where you can verify the number that it is a valid EasyPay number.

Easypay site also still lists Tshwane as a valid vendor/recipient/creditor thingy.

Been paying it now for a few months. No issues at all

Strange.

Will have a look in the new month again. And if it still does not load it as a beneficiary I will contact EasyPay to see what the problem is.

Telkom loaded first time and paid it two times already.

Problem is all the new Bills do not even have the EasyPay number printed on it anymore. Not the downloaded ones or the ones I receive per post.
 
Ok ... regarding easyPay ....

I had an issue where my Telkom account could not be loaded as a beneficiary, but I could pay it.

I contacted easyPay support, they had a glitch in the system, and it is now fixed.

So, my question, can you pay Tswhane without issues, or cant you load that account as a beneficiary ?

Can't load it as a beneficiary.

Have not tried the once of payment method. Would rather have the beneficiary loaded and I can pay Telkom and Tshwane at the same time with one transaction.
 
/prepares to lose shiit.

PW banker has told me ebucks have told her they won't reallocate my eB for last month after they didn't take my bond into account. Cost me 13k+ ebucks and a reward level.
That's just not the way things work....
 
I would advise you and SauronZA or anyone insisting on paying way before payment due date, what you guys can do is, have your due date be the 26th**. Then statement billing cycle will be close to 1st to the end of the month.

Then if you paranoid, just settle / zeroise the current balance on the 1st of each month. By doing this then at any point in time you know what you've spend in the current month. Will make it easier to work out how capped you are on fuel and checkers, etc...

edit: ** You'll be losing out on about 25 days interest free, but on the plus side you not getting close to getting into too much monthly debt.

edit2: Not sure if changing payment due date cancels current credit card and issues a new one.

My payment due date has been the last day of the month for the past three months. This month is 31 August again.

The 25 days of interest free are irrelevant to me. Only need 30-31. :)

Ok, so your billing period starts on the 4th or 5th of each month. My point is its easier to reconcile eBucks earned when your statement reflects a calendar month. I. E. Starting on the 1st.

I was in the same boat. I tried 100 times to load it once I paid, the list just refreshed after loading it.

Ok, my advice, pay it. Contact easypay support. They will get their IT dev involved to see why your account number is not added.

The reason for mine was ... backend and process bug (scripts related)

When setting up autopay for your credit card, on online banking, it gives you the message at the bottom that changing the autopay date will change you billing cycle. I only set up an autopay yesterday, so I don't know if it works yet. So in theory, setting a date of 25/26th to autopay should get your billing period from 1-30/31.

Nope ,my auto payment is 29th, billing is still from the 4th .Been like that for years for me. But my auto payment never triggers as a pay my card before the 29th. Maybe I should set it up again?

I have an auto payment also on. If I don't pay my credit card fully when the due date comes (mine is the 1ste for sept), it will go off.

If I pay it fully, it never goes off.

Take note of that

I've set mine to the 26th. But even so, they sometimes make the due date the 27th. My billing cycle usually runs from the 1st to the 31st.

:erm: The 29th is not the 26th...
 
A few posts in here suggest that those with an FNB device purchased before the new rules took effect will still receive 1000 points.
has anyone received it?

Banker says that is not the case.

I got mine but it won't show up in the calculator under the Points criteria. Well add the Points criteria points up and you will see the graph point is 1000 more so that is how I assumed I got my 1k smart device points...

That's what I though but they said:

Kindly note there is an issue currently where scheduled transfer/payments with FNB where data is not pulling through.
