Tips to Boost your eBucks

[shadow_man]

Is it worth it to move up to Private Client for (R345 vs R199 pm I pay now for Premier).

From what I can see the eBucks reward criteria is the same, with a slight bump of 0.5% on some eBucks earn rates.

I'd also be getting my Smart Device payment (R579) back in eBucks (is this still the case?), so it looks like a win to me as I'm still R433 ahead in terms of rewards vs increase in bank fee's).

FNB.co.za makes mention of PRIVATE CLIENTS for device eBucks discounts.

eBucks.co.za makes mention of PRIVATE WEALTH CLIENTS for device eBucks discounts. So which is it - conflicting information!

I'm still having no luck understanding this FNB connect uncapped discount, I'm on eBucks RL4 yet after a month on uncapped I'm still 0%

If you are on gold I think you are out of luck as there is no discount with that account

No device discount is only available for Private Wealth and definitely not for private clients
Then switching to PC will only make sense if you are already hitting caps for spend

Why are you complaining about being on zero?

He wants the 100% discount.

Really? Not for gold accounts? That sucks.

True, and with a house its better to put extra money lying around into the bond 1st, much bigger saving than the notice deposit.

I am lucky in that, when I got my house, FNB gave a very good interest rate so I took the bond with them.

You should at least try to move the bond to FNB, and have them give you a slightly better rate for giving them the business.

They didn't want the business in the first place. Will try in a few months and see if I can move it.

Get a 32-day account. Pump 10k into it. Add an extra R500 every month as a scheduled transfer. 2500 points right there for the taking.

Just bought a house so busy building up that extra 10k.

Payments made at easypay counters counts as online payments?

Easypay has counters? Not on my computer!

On gold if you're going over 3k online spend, you might as well go to a counter at a supermarket, as you get zero for anything over that 3k limit.

Worked for me. Try the code with the "SAVE" word in small letters. When I tried it with capital letters, none of my cards worked either.

What I did was:
1) choose CARD payment (not paypal)
2) typed in most of my card details, only full card #, name as shown on card, and then tried to apply the discount with "save" as small letters.
Then the signup fee went to 0 dollars.

Must say, this Amarex seems good, the pricing with the R75 discount is a BARGAIN for shipping of 3 to 6 business days!
