eBucks, South Africa's leading rewards programme, is proud to announce that qualifying members can now receive up to 40% off international fares, when flying with Emirates.

Effective 18 February, 2009, qualifying eBucks members can fly to 41 international destinations at 40% discount on business class tickets and 15% discount on economy class tickets.

Says Lezanne Human, eBucks CEO, "eBucks, the reward of choice, is pleased with the current uptake on its existing discounts programme, as successfully launched in 2008. Adding international flights through Emirates, is a fantastic new benefit for those of our members who bank with FNB."

Emirates was a natural choice for eBucks. The airline has consistently been voted as best in the world across the full range of its operations, with the group now boasting over 400 international awards.

eBucks members can access the discounted Emirates flights through the online booking facility on www.eBucks.com. However, those members who do not qualify for the discounts, will still have access to the lowest available fares on the market.
