What is discount flight Caps?

Each person in your family with a valid FNB/RMB Private Bank account, will now get their own Discounted Flight Allocation (referred to as “Caps”), and the Caps will not just be deducted from the main member who is making the booking.
 

• Domestic Flights: Each family member will get 16 one-way economy flight allocations per year. 
• International Flights:  Each family member will get 2 return economy / premium economy flight allocations OR 1 return business flight allocation per year.
• Annual Caps apply on discounted flights.
• Caps are valid for an annual cycle from 01 July to 30 June of the following year and will be deducted from the Caps allocation for the annual cycle in which the booking is made in.
• Annual Cap Allocations are reset at the end of the annual cycle and cannot be transferred or rolled over to the next annual cycle.
• Children under 2 years old automatically qualify for discounts and have no limit on their annual Caps.
• Each qualifying family member will have their own Caps for the annual cycle.
• If you exceed your annual Caps, you can still book flights and pay or part-pay for your flight in eBucks, but you will not qualify for any discounts until the following annual cycle’s Cap flight allocation.
• For international flights, you receive either two discounted economy class return flights, or one discounted business class return flight.  You cannot book both.  If you book one discounted international 
• economy or premium economy class return flight, your discounted business class flight Cap will fall away (while your other discounted international economy or premium economy return flight will remain).  Similarly, if you book one business class return flight, both your international economy or premium economy class discounted flights will fall away.
• Domestic flights can be booked as one-ways or returns, and each one-way discounted flight will deduct one cap from the member's flight discount allocation.
• International flights can be booked only as returns to receive a discount and each return discounted flight will deduct one cap from the member's flight discount allocation.
• For international flights, discounts will apply to bookings made using different classes, i.e. you can book an economy class international flight for the outgoing leg and book a business class international flight for the return leg.  Your discount will apply to your business class cap, and the business class Cap will be used up.
   

How to I qualify for Flight discounts? 
 

• Discounts on flights are only applicable to the base fare of the flight (airport taxes, levies, surcharges, VAT and extras are excluded).
• Discounts are only valid for flights departing from South Africa.
• Should you wish to do a stopover en-route to your destination (up to 4 legs), discounts will apply when booking via eBucks Travel Online if all legs are booked with a discount partner airline.

• The main member does not have to travel with or be on the same flight as the qualifying family members for them to qualify for the discount.

• For flights changes, if you upgrade your cabin (E.g. You were booked in economy and decide to upgrade your flight to business class before you depart), as long as you have one economy class cap available you may forfeit your economy class caps for your business class cap.
• If you make changes to your or your passengers original Avis Car Rental booking details that results in a fee increase, you will not be entitled to any discounts on the increased fee. Discounts will be restricted to the original fee if you qualify for discounts.
• If you cancel a booked discounted flight (Domestic or International), you will only be reallocated your Cap for that flight if eBucks Travel is able to obtain a refund from the airline, and the refund amount covers the original discount amount.

• You must qualify for eBucks Rewards and eBucks Travel discounts at time of booking flight to unlock a car hire discount.
• You unlock 1 x car hire discount per eBucks Travel flight booking reference  (If you book a one-way or a return flight, you will only unlock 1 x car hire discount, but may still hire more cars without discounts).

• Your up to 40% discount on your car hire booking will be based on your current reward level at the time that you book.

What is discount car rental caps?

• Each member will have 8 discounted car rental Caps per Financial Year (1Jul - 30Jun).
• Your unlocked discounted car rental needs to be booked within 7 days of your last flight date to avoid the expiry of the discount cap. You do not need to secure your rental at the same time as you booked your flight.
• If you cancel your car rental min 4  hours before rental collection, your unlocked benefit will be reversed back to your allocations which must be used within the same financial year.
• If you do not book your unlocked discount car rental within 7 days after your last flight date, it will be reversed back into your car allocation.

Can I make changes or cancel a discounted car rental?

• If you change your car rental before collection of the vehicle through eBucks Travel (upgrade or extending dates), additional discounts will not apply, but you can still use your eBucks as payment.
• After vehicle collection all changes happen directly with Avis and additional charges are handled by Avis directly.

The name(s) of the main member are incorrect, can this be changed?

After you have logged in, your names are automatically retrieved from your banking profile. You will be able to edit and update your name and save this to your Travel Profile. If you do not check and correct your name before you book, the airline will not allow you to board your flight. Penalties will apply to any tickets booked under the incorrect name.

Please remember to contact your Banking Suite to update your name(s), as corrections made on your travel profile will not update your banking profile, simultaneously updates made on your banking profile will not update your eBucks travel profile.

Can information in the Traveller's Profile be updated?

If you notice a mistake or need to add or update information (such as First Name(s)) for one of the saved traveller profiles you've created, you can do so through the Traveller Profiles section available via the side menu within the Profiles section.

Can the name on a booked ticket be changed?

Very rarely, and only at the discretion of the airline used. You are required to confirm the spelling of all travellers’ names before confirming the booking. If a name is incorrect (for e.g., due to a typo), you may call eBucks Travel on 087 587 2835 and we will call the supplier on your behalf to find out what their policy is. You are also welcome to contact the supplier directly if it is outside of our office hours.

Can you book for two travellers with the same name and surname?

The booking system will not allow two or more travellers to be confirmed if they have the exact same first name(s) and surname (e.g. father and son whose names are both John Smith). Should this be the case, please contact the airline directly or eBucks Travel on 087 587 2835 for assistance on how to complete the name fields on the Traveller's page.

Married name vs. maiden name on your travel document (ID book or Passport)?

The name on the ticket must match the name that appears on the travel document (ID book or Passport) you are travelling on.

Some countries and airlines require this for international travel so it's best to provide your full names to be safe.
If you do not see your full name issued on your ticket, please contact eBucks Travel on the same day as making your booking to ensure your ticket has been issued correctly.

Flights into the USA and flights booked on Cathay Pacific require full names, so please include your middle name when making bookings.

• If you have booked more than 1 individual airline ticket for your journey and have multiple ticket numbers:
  • If you miss your flight on ticket number 1, it will not cancel the other tickets booked, so you need to ensure that you advise the other airline(s) of the changes to your first flight to ensure the necessary changes are made to further flights that match your new ticket. You will also have to pay the relevant penalties.

  • The airline for your first leg is responsible for helping you get onto the next available flight, regardless of the airline you are travelling on. 
     
• If you have booked more than 1 individual airline ticket for your journey and have multiple ticket numbers:
  • The original airline is not responsible for your onward journey and you need to contact the appropriate airlines to make the necessary changes. You will also have to pay the relevant penalties.
