eBucks' members can earn and spend eBucks through new Wetherlys partnership

Have you been thinking about giving your home an interior facelift, but have been hesitant to splash out on that beautiful new couch you've been eyeing for many months? Now there is no excuse! Wetherlys one of South Africa's leading home decor and furnishing retailers and eBucks' latest earn and spend partner. eBucks Members will receive 4% back from Wetherlys in eBucks. In addition, FNB and RMB Private Bank will also reward you with eBucks when you pay with your FNB or RMB Private Bank cheque card or linked credit card.

eBucks' members also have the option of using their eBucks to pay for their Wetherlys' purchases, which according to eBucks CEO, Jolande Duvenage, is like getting that beautiful couch or designer coffee table for free. "As a rewards programme that has been around for nearly 11 years, it is vital that eBucks continues to bring relevant choice and rewards to its members. We wanted to offer our members the opportunity of earning and spending their rewards currency on a range of quality home furnishings, decor items and accessories. With over 30 stores nationwide, and more than 60 000 imported and locally manufactured quality products to choose from, Wetherlys is the perfect fit," says Duvenage, eBucks CEO.

Nirvashnee Reddy, Finance Executive at Wetherlys, says that the partnership is mutually beneficial, as it provides Wetherlys with the ideal platform in which to reward their customers.

"The Wetherlys brand is synonymous with superior products and services, and we strive to ensure that this is consistently achieved across our value chain," says Reddy. "Our choice of eBucks, SA's leading multi-partner rewards programme, is reflective of our commitment to provide a superior rewards programme generating maximum returns to our valued customers."

The Wetherlys website – www.wetherlys.co.za - is kept up to date with the latest product lines, and Reddy suggests that eBucks members visit the site at their leisure, to compile a wish list before they head in-store. "Once they're in-store, they can use Wetherlys 3D, our innovative resource that allows our customers to custom design their interiors. We are also improving our stores nationwide, many of which will now include coffee shops and free Wi-Fi for our customers," she says.

"As the rewards programme of choice, eBucks offers real value to its members by truly helping them to stretch their wallets; while at the same time providing the widest range of spend choices and channels. Now eBucks members have the ability to beautify their homes, with less of the financial pressure usually associated with redecorating," concludes Duvenage.
