Tips to Boost your eBucks

If you buy a Checkers voucher for yourself on the App you don't get an SMS, you view the code on the App.

There are a couple of other differences between Checkers vouchers and Makro vouchers.
Checkers is using the Wicode system, so you can't pick your denomination - you have to go with the available denominations.
For example:
I went to Makro on Sunday and bought a R1,231 voucher through the app as this covered my purchases.
I went to Checkers Hyper straight afterwards and my purchase value was R3,600. I had to buy 3 x R1,000 vouchers, 1 x R500 voucher, and 1 x R100 vouchers and then input 5 codes into the credit card terminal
 
Has anybody managed to jump the hoop to upgrade to Private wealth?

i noticed the Ebucks rules for PW, which states an income of 44500 per month.

yet when phoning them, they state that you need to earn 1.5bar a year ( roughly 68k per month after tax). Quite a huge gap in between which doesn't make sense :/

Was hoping there is a magic wand that could improve the private banking service, as well as obviously the ebucks rewards :P

You're confusing two requirements.
R1.5m per year is the gross income requirement to get a PW account.
The R44,500 income is the minimum monthly amount that needs to be deposited in your account in order to earn eBucks as a PW client.

Aren't you confusing Private Clients (R750 000 - R 1 499 000) with Private Wealth (R1.5 million or more)?

FNB have done a stellar job of confusing it all with their rebranding.

What do you mean? Just log into your FNB banking if you're on Private Clients already and you should be pre-approved for Private Wealth in anycase.

There is really no entry criteria, and the level of service you get from them is the same as what you would get from Premier and Private Client.

You do get some extra benefits like the payback on devices, but then you need to be on lvl 5 reward to get that.

Not accurate.
On PW you get payback on devices on all levels, but at differing percentages

And I can assure you that PC/premier clients don't have access to the same facilities that PW clients do.

no not confusing. I am currently on Private Clients, thus i had a look at what additional benefits PW will offer me on ebucks ( the only reason we upgrade these days)

i can meet the minimum deposits of 43k -> Salary plus a few rental incomes, but that only satisfies the ebucks rules, and not the 1.5bar earning rule in order to have the account.

They did give me a call back. seems like they can push for motivation from 1 Mil on wards, but not lower. :(
 
How does the 100% uncapped offer work?

Do you pay the full amount every month and they refund you in eBucks, or do you pay nothing if you are on level 5?
 
In terms of? I'm on PW so I'd be interested to know what these different facilities are.

Slow lounge benefits for a start.
Private banker plus assistant on call 24x7, and when I say jump they ask how high. Don't ever deal with call centers.
Financial planning
Estate planning
Etc

Private Clients have all of that, which is what we were talking about. Premier Banking clients dont.

Aaah okay, I'm with you now.

Just had chats with a few people and it seems the Private Clients and Private Wealth naming convention often confuses.

Indeed. Like when I confuse the two of you for each other due to the same MyBB avatars :whistle:
 
I'm on Level 5 - so 2.5% on credit card swipe and 15% at Checkers.

I only get 15% right, not 17.5%? ;)

But the real question, if Checkers fall out the qualifying 20% of total spend I obviously don't get the 15%, but then do I get 2.5%?

You get the 2.5% for swipe on top of the 15%, so double earn. It's the 15% that is capped for the 20%, not the 2.5%, afaik

Yep...

Nah the 2.5% is built into the 15%, that's why they state up to 15%. Once you hit the cap, it defaults back to your normal swipe earn rate...
 
If I play the Lotto on the FNB App and pay via my cheque account, will I lose out on the "do all your spending on your CC" points?
