- Only the eBucks discount value of these purchases will be deducted from your Annual Discount Savings balance when you choose to make use of your qualifying eBucks discounts towards your final purchase total.
For Premier, Private Clients, Private Wealth and RMB Private Bank clients:
As a main member, you will receive your own Annual Discount Savings allocation for use on selected domestic and international flights, car hire, QuickBus bookings and selected eBucks shop purchases. The amount you receive will be based on the highest qualifying FNB transactional account that you hold.
Annual Discount Savings allocations per account type are as follows:
FNB Premier: R5 000
FNB Private Clients: R10 000
FNB Private Wealth/RMB Private Bank: R20 000

- The customer received a total discount of R1 200 across both transactions, which was deducted from their Annual Discount Savings total of R5 000. Therefore, the customer now has R3 800 in their Annual Discount Savings left for the year.
- You will no longer be able to receive eBucks discounts on your flight, car hire, bus ticket bookings made via eBucks Travel or on any purchases made on eBucks Shop.
