eBucks, the reward of choice, today announced the launch of its newest partner, Nashua Mobile. eBucks members will now be able to earn up to 10% back in eBucks every month when they take out a new 24 month contract or upgrade their existing Nashua Mobile contract.

Lezanne Human, CEO of eBucks said: "The partnership with Nashua Mobile provides members a new means to earn a significant amount of eBucks for doing something that they will be doing anyway – talking on their cellphones. We have noticed a definite trend over the last couple of months of members using their eBucks on more essential products rather than on luxuries, reflecting the tightening economic conditions. So this additional earn will no doubt be warmly welcomed by members."

eBucks is not only South Africa's leading rewards programme, it is also the most powerful rewards currency in the country. As the only multi-partner rewards currency that is pegged to the rand (R1 is worth eB10), it is able to operate as a virtual currency and, as the rewards programme with the widest range of spend opportunities, members can spend their eBucks on almost anything.

Nashua Mobile is an independent telecommunications solutions provider that has built up a range of offerings from broadband, Internet service provision and mobile data through to messaging and cellular voice solutions.

"As a company that offers the widest choice in voice and data connectivity options Nashua Mobile is pleased to partner with eBucks, the rewards programme that offers members an endless choice of rewards." says Mark Taylor, managing director of Nashua Mobile.

Nashua Mobile is one of South Africa's largest, independent cellular solutions providers and one of the few providers to offer customers the choice of all three networks (Vodacom, MTN and Cell C). Nashua also offers a full range of Internet and broadband services. More than 750 000 of the 5,5 million contract cellular contracts in South Africa are Nashua Mobile customers.

Nashua Mobile Internet offers a full portfolio of Internet access offerings including fixed-line ADSL powered by Verizon; wireless Broadband from iBurst and Sentech; and, mobile Data technologies from all three mobile operators. Nashua Mobile has 300 selling partners strategically placed across South Africa.

eBucks gives its members endless choice. The programme offers South Africa's widest choice of spend opportunities as well as an extensive range of spend channels. eBucks can be spent in the eBucks shop, which was recently named as one of the two top online malls in the country, at eBucks auctions, through eBucks travel, with eBucks' online partners or at eBucks' in-store partners with the eBucks card.
