You probably selected the gift card instead of the virtual voucher
The delivery fee for the virtual voucher is 25 ebucks

I checked that, it said Virtual voucher, I also thought maybe they were going to courier a physical voucher to my door which would be ridiculous.

Online spend only. FNB specifies use of card machine at pumps to earn 15% on fuel.

I used it last week to pay for some goods from the store. It took a fair bit longer than using card would, but I needed to up my online spend so was patient. The cashier didn't really know what was happening. It will probably become more efficient as they get used to the system.
 
What does this mean?

Do you have an Overdraft facility of at least R2 000 and use at least 10% of it

Need use 10% of limit on your overdraft . So if you limit is R10000 ,you need use R1000 of the overdraft to get the points.

So I can quickly transfer money out and in of my cheque account?

Nope needs stay there for 1 evening so that fnb can charge you interest and the fee attached to the overdraft.

I normally do it for 2 nights just to make sure I get the points.

Got an email from FNB.

I earned 8800 ebucks but I 'could have' earned 15 169.

my spend was:
cheque - R4522
Credit - R58 902

Question is, are you only supposed to use your credit card??


If so, what dates of the month does it start and end from?

fanks!

Yes, stay away from the *evil* cheque card. That is assuming you have financial discipline and are not going to get yourself into trouble with the credit. Dates for eBucks are first to last day of the month.

My grand plan to reach RL4 in the first month has been scuppered. FNB approved my online application for R10k overdraft but apparently have to wait until a salary gets deposited to release the funds. Crazy, but true. And, sadly, this leaves me stranded on RL3 this month. :cry:

I figured that question out after I sat and made the calculations.

The next eB rewards will be paid out lets say on the 7th of June. That rewards are determined from the transactions which was cleared and showed from the 1 May to 31 May

On what package are you (premier of private).

I earn that (10 000eB) on less than 10k spend per month !

There is no way you could make level 4 within the first month ! Nice try I would say ! Love how took overdrafts out to make FNB more richer ! (Rule 101 with rewards, don't make debt to earn rewards)
 
*Footnote to rule 101

Unless the rewards value is bigger than the debt incurred. Then the debt can be seen as capital investment :D

Yes, there's this permanent rhetoric about debt and interest that's getting quite tiring. For some, at the cost of R40 odd a month, it means between getting RL4 and RL5. I used to do the overnight over draft thing to get RL5, but I'm now getting around 23500 reward points per month, so am no longer doing it. When i was, it was a no brainer to get up to top level.

Well done Gamer ! Can I give you the award for that statement! Why does one need to make debt to get to level 5 if he use all the rules which isn't debt related !

How does 25 000 eb sound on R15 000 spend (Work that out for me please)
