3. Pay with Credit, Not Cash
FAB credit cards often earn more points compared to debit or prepaid cards.
4. Combine Cards for Maximum Earnings
If you have multiple FAB cards (e.g., Infinite + Platinum), use each card in the category where it gives higher rewards.
5. Redeem Before Expiry
Points usually expire after two to three years, check your app regularly so you don’t lose them.
6. Watch for Promotions
FAB frequently offers limited-time multipliers or partner discounts. Use them to earn double or triple points during campaigns.
Common Issues with FAB Rewards
Issue 1: Points not updating → Wait up to 48 hours; transactions post after settlement.
Issue 2: Redemption not working → Ensure your card is active and linked to your online banking.
Issue 3: Expired points → Once expired, they cannot be reinstated, so redeem them on time.
