FNB has announced several changes to its eBucks reward programme to help customers guard against rising interest rates, and record-high fuel and food prices that have increased the cost of living in South Africa.
The financial services group said that the following measures will be available from October until the end of December 2022:
- Travel relief: Individual and business customers will continue to get an additional R2/L at Engen, Unlimited SLOW Lounge access and earn 10% back in eBucks on QuickBus tickets booked via the FNB App.
- Grocery relief: Individual and business customers will earn double eBucks rewards on grocery spend at Usave/Shoprite/Checkers.
- Spend relief: 100 individual and business customers could win 10x their annual eBucks spend back if they save their money by opting to pay using eBucks.
“Fuel and food prices are major contributors to the rising cost of living for many South African households,” said Raj Makanjee, CEO of FNB Retail. “And hence, we believe that our timely benefits will alleviate some of the financial strain on individuals and families.”
FNB said that its fuel relief campaign, which began in July of this year, has been extended until December 2022. This allows customers to continue receiving an additional R2 per litre in eBucks for using their virtual card to pay for fuel at Engen, as well as performing one eCommerce transaction per month.
Individual customers who fill up at Engen and have vehicle instalments with WesBank are still eligible for the Double Up benefit, where they earn up to R8 p/l per quarter in eBucks; these customers will now earn up to R10 p/l per quarter in eBucks.
FNB is also providing qualifying customers unlimited complimentary access to SLOW Airport Lounges, the ability to earn 10% back in eBucks with QuickBus, which is available on the FNB App for booking bus trips with major bus operators.
The group is offering grocery relief to individual and business customers who shop at Usave/Shoprite/Checkers. Customers with the FNB Easy Pay as you Use (PAYU) and Easy account will get double grocery coupons, while those using FNB Aspire will earn double their eBucks.
Private Banking and Business customers get up to 30% back in eBucks when paying with their Virtual Cards at any of the Shoprite Checkers outlets.
Update: The article has been updated tp reflect that Private Banking and Business customers can get eBucks by using their Virtual Cards at Shoprite Checkers outlets, not ‘any store’ as previously indicated by FNB.
