eBucks Rewards, the leading multi-partner loyalty programme offered by FNB and RMB Private Bank, has added another jewel to its online partner crown in the shape of Citymob, South Africa's #1 online design destination. Citymob joins the eBucks Rewards fold as both an earn and spend partner.

This means that from August 1, Citymob customers have been able to earn eBucks Rewards when shopping for the latest in cool and hip on Citymob's daily sales and monthly online pop-up stores curated around a specific theme. Or, they can spend their eBucks when shopping on the Citymob site.

eBucks Rewards members earn 4% of their Citymob spend back in eBucks when they enter their South African ID number on check out. What's more, is if they are paying with a qualifying FNB or RMB Private Bank card that has been linked to their eBucks Rewards account, they stand to earn additional eBucks from the bank on the same transaction.

When spending eBucks on Citymob, eBucks Rewards members can now simply choose eBucks as one of the payment methods when checking out on the Citymob site. If members don't have enough eBucks  and are desperate for the latest pair of Converse sneakers designed in collaboration with Marimekko, or kitchenware from the award-winning Joseph Joseph before they sell out, they can part pay for their shopping with eBucks and Rands. Whether paying in full with eBucks, or part paying, the transaction happens seamlessly on Citymob's site. This gives eBucks Rewards members another safe, secure and convenient way to shop online and to spend their reward points.

eBucks Rewards has always prided itself on enabling members to buy both every day necessities such as fuel, medicine, and airtime to luxuries like holidays, high-end furniture and the latest gadgets.  Whilst Citymob sits firmly in the latter category, this online boutique is South Africa's number one design and inspiration site, it is also affordable, offering generous discounts on exclusive or limited edition design and fashion items sourced in South Africa and around the world.

"Our members are passionate about their eBucks Rewards, and we are pleased to be able to give them yet another way to earn eBucks, or to treat themselves, friends or family with the stylish fashion, accessories and décor available from Citymob," said eBucks Rewards CEO, Jolandé Duvenage. "With an increasing number of South Africans coming online and starting to explore the convenience and choice of online shopping, we know it's important to give them a range of safe and convenient ways to transact.

"Citymob customers are connoisseurs of all things stylish, hip and cutting-edge," says Luke Jedeikin, Citymob's managing director. "We're delighted to team up with eBucks Rewards to bring even more value and choice to our customers, and thank them for their amazing loyalty since establishing our brand in 2010."

Citymob was ranked as one of the top five South African e-commerce sites in South Africa over the 2012 festive season. It joins a host of other complementary e-commerce partners on eBucks Rewards' multi-partner offering, including kalahari.com, Yuppiechef, Takealot.com, Netflorist, Zando and Cybercellar, amongst others.
