First National Bank (FNB) has launched a set of rebates that new customers can choose between if they buy a smartphone, tablet, or notebook PC from the bank when they switch.<\/p>\n

In a press statement issued today, FNB unveiled three bundles for new clients.<\/p>\n

One bundle offers the benefits of a cellphone contract for free; another gives 20GB of free 3G data; and the last one offers a free uncapped ADSL account.<\/p>\n

FNB summarised the deals in a table, which is reproduced below:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n
Option 1 \u2018Voice Rebate\u2019<\/td>\n200 Minutes, 200 SMS, 200 MB of 3G data per month x 12 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Option 2 \u2018Data Rebate\u2019<\/td>\n20GB of 3G data per month x 12 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Option 3 \u2018Uncapped ADSL Rebate\u2019<\/td>\nUncapped ADSL for 6 months (to the maximum value of R399 p.m.) Thereafter ADSL data is available at a discounted rate based on the client\u2019s eBucks reward tier.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

FNB said in its press release that the offer is available until 30 September 2013.<\/p>\n

Responding to questions about the new promotion, FNB explained that the “Voice rebate” is a free Cell C Straight Up 200 contract for 12 months, while the “Data rebate” is actually the 5GB peak data + 15GB off-peak data offering from Cell C.<\/p>\n

The table below summarises the new uncapped ADSL accounts FNB launched yesterday, which shows the rates that will apply after the 6 months of the ADSL rebate have passed.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Line Speed<\/td>\nMaximum Discount<\/td>\nNormal Price<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n

10Mbps<\/td>\nR500 per month<\/td>\nR899 per month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

FNB said in its press release that existing customers will receive voice and data benefits from their eBucks rewards level.<\/p>\n

For example, FNB said that Personal Cheque Account holders get access to uncapped ADSL data, and existing clients who take up a smart device can get access to 3G data (up to 500MB). Existing clients can also receive a rebate on 200 minutes talk-time.<\/p>\n

Rebates may change month to month depending on movement between eBucks reward tiers\/levels, FNB said.<\/p>\n
