How I Made R11k In Free Money From My Bank & How You Can Too!

Over the past year, I scored R 11 307 in free money from my bank, and in this video, I will show you exactly how I did it so that you can do it too!

As you probably already know, many banks offer rewards programmes, and while some are rather dumb, the eBucks from FNB can become quite powerful if you know how to use it.

I would be the first one to agree that banks are not made to be our friend, as they always seem want to make profit out of us, its customers. But if you learn how to play their game on your terms, then you could gain the upper hand, just like I did!

I will not only show you how much I scored from my bank this past year, but also how I managed to get to Level 5 of eBucks without needing to take out any debt or insurance policies with my bank.

Enjoy!

Hey pieter, thanks so much for the advice, keep up the videos. I went from no credit record and easy account to picking up a premium credit card last week 🎉. Successfully managing finances and benefitting. But I do want ask for a future video could you do the become your own bank scenario. How would it work if you took life insurance and used life insurance as leverage. New topic so just begin research on it. Thanks

Hi Pieter. Thanks for the great video. A suggestion for a new video topic is how to get to level 5 on ebucks on a business account.

[KookaTrooper]

Hey Pieter, great video! The app seems to have changed a lot. Will you ever do an updated version of this?

[dymiankuhn]

Hi Pieter, thanks for your content, really very valuable and worth watching. I like your humor. Ek is self n karoo seun, so ek geniet die afrikaans hahaha. Een vraag, Hoe kyk jy SPORT? Die rede hoekom ek vra is omdat dit die enigste rede is hoekom ek DSTV het? Skel as jy moet, hahaha maar help asb. Baie dankie, Dymian

[J_adventurer]

[Queenadailypay-bu]

I listen to this video clip this morning and guess what? afterwards I decided to check my e-bucks point and the money that could have made with it. right now I have just came back from the supermarket. I did groceries with my e-bucks points money. Thank you for reminding me about the e-bucks money and the tips to increase the chance of earning more points. Tnx...👌

[elrickleroyvanwyk]

Can you make a video on easy debit account, like how to get to level 5 on it since I'm new at fnb.

[Daan]

Another easy one is to use the bond calculator under Nav Home once a quarter, even if you are not planning on purchasing a home. Easy 500 points.

Just 1 request...PLEASE MOVE THE MIC CLOSER, SOUND IS...eish

[TheunsCloete]

How did you apply for an FNB Premier Select current account (0:46) @MoneyMarx ? As far as I know that account is meant for people over the age of 55? Do you also qualify to get your banking fees rebated when you maintain an investment account of R10k+ ? The standard Premier and Fusion Premier accounts require R500k+ in investment accounts to qualify for a rebate on banking fees...
