Reme Le Hane Posted June 26, 2019 Share It's their financial year end coming up (end-June), so I suspect that must be one of the reasons for the limited number of accounts being migrated.That and the app does not work. Crashes if I try and open an account, on both my phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertusras Posted June 27, 2019 Share It's been pretty painful to work everything from the app thus far. My application is in, but uploading proof of residence via the phone is a pain to start with, and secondly, they didn't want to accept my FNB Cheque statement as it can't be from FRB/FNB. They didn't accept my current lease agreement as it expires within the next 3 months. They won't accept my Discovery Insurance documentation, as it's from themselves. And all my other accounts are on my postal address.Whelp. Edited June 27, 2019 by bertusras Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all my other accounts are on my postal address.Whelp. I had a the same problem with Wesbank when I got my car. I eventually told them to drive to my house and confirm my address for themselves. They gave me the car. I don't think they ever drove to my house. Vetplant and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the reason I have an Edcon account and my utility bill showing my home address. I only use the Edgars account about twice a year to keep it active.

Let's Ride Posted June 28, 2019 Share you don't. Pure and simple. Was wanting to try get it every week but I guess I must be realistic. These things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted June 28, 2019 Share How do you guys reach your weekly goal if you are sick? What a pain, I would love to run but don't want to do more damage. Depends on what points you on, 900 or 1200? If 900, do a park walk Saturday, do a myrun walk on Sunday and then swipe at the gym for the other days. Personally I do a park walk and then swipe the other 6 days at the gym to make 900. If you on 1200 you will struggle unless you do a workout or 2 when sick!

Best case you'd get 300 for the one and 100 for the other unless you actually run and get the 300hr points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make it any less of a pain in the ass when all my other accounts are on a postal address. I've gone and updated one of my accounts, but now the app doesn't work. Fun.

Let's Ride Posted June 28, 2019 Share Yeah. No way am I driving to the gym to swipe just to get points and then leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason alone I decided against the 1200 option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
