Dont the virtual vouchers expire, unless you redeem them for physical vouchers?

Any way to confirm if my Makro vouchers have credit remaining on them, without checking in store?

I just bought a voucher for R1500 but looking through my SMS history I'm sure I may have another I've not used.

When I buy a voucher I copy it into a Google keep list
And when I use it, I tick it off.

Ah, I didn't see the "/19" at the end of the date there.

On the FNB app, there's a history ...
- Login
- Select the top left menu (on android)
- Select My Vocuhers
You can see the list of vouchers there... click Redeem to see the voucher code
You can delete once it's used

It seems as if FNB has removed the functionality to obtain a temp loan via online banking and the app?

I normally get a R300 temp loan on the 1st of every month, because it pushes me to Lev5, and I saw it was missing from BOTH the app and Internet banking this morning?

Only option that remains is to purchase via telephone or cellphone banking, can anyone else confirm?

It should reappear in the next few days. From time to time they remove it from a persons profile until they revet you. They do it on a monthly basis.

I'm on Premier bundle. I see you can get 5 additional credit cards for free.
I I get one for my gf for her to fill up with fuel, will I get points? Or do points only get given on the primary credit card?

You will get extra ebucks because of the extra spend, not extra points to move up reward levels.

Works great. Got the wife a card and ebucks earn has gone up about 50% with all the grocery shopping and account payments she usually did with her cheque card of EFTs.

Just bear in mind that fuel purchases on credit card attract interest from day 1.

Nope, it's treated as a normal purchase.

Just noticed on Zando that you can pay for your purchases at various stores, including Checkers. Would this be done at the Money Market counter, therefore no ebucks earn?

I was charged interest on fuel purchases, queried it with a consultant and they explained that fuel purchases attract interest if it is on credit. Have been using debit card for fuel and no interest charge since.

Surely it's still a win though because you get 15% back on RL5?

Does that also not apply to debit card fuel purchases?

Exactly, make the spend on your CC and then transfer the spend amount from your cheque to your CC via the app before the day is up. Done.

Odd. If you look around on the thread it's come up a few times. I remember I found someone said it didn't attract interest before I switched from using the cheque card to the credit card over a year ago. I've never been charged interest for fuel purchases.

I thought about doing that too, but losing the 4000 points because 100% spend isn't on CC...

I think it only attracts interest if you use a Petrol card. not credit card

Transfers do not count as spend.
