The current economic climate has adversely impacted the Vodacom credit card and associated rewards programme. Following considerable discussions and analysis, Vodacom and FirstRand Bank have mutually agreed to close the Vodacom credit card and rewards programme.

New Vodacom credit card applications:

With immediate effect no new Vodacom credit card applications will be accepted.

Current Vodacom credit cardholders:
1. Using the Vodacom credit card
Vodacom credit cards will remain valid until the expiry date shown on the credit card or until 30 September 2010, which ever date is earlier (“the closure date”). After the closure date, transactions will no longer be able to be made (i.e. no purchase transactions or cash withdrawals). From the closure date Vodacom credit card accounts will only be able to accept payments.
Vodacom credit cardholders will receive a communication from FirstRand Bank prior to the closure date advising them of the various settlement and migration options available to them.>br/>For assistance please call 082 241 9933 (free from a Vodacom cellphone).

2. Using the benefits and rewards
Current Vodacom credit card holders, who are members of the rewards programme, will be able to earn Yebo Bucks and Cash Backs and enjoy all current discount offers until close of business on 30 April 2010.

Cardholders with valid Yebo Bucks will be entitled to redeem their Yebo Bucks at all Yebo Bucks redemption partners until close of business on 31 May 2010 and the current terms and conditions will apply.

As a gesture of goodwill, customers with unredeemed Yebo Bucks will be credited with the value of the Yebo Bucks remaining on their July Vodacom cellphone bill at the rate of 1 Yebo Buck = R1 (subject to terms and conditions).

The following terms and conditions will apply to the issuing of the Yebo Bucks credits:

• The credit will be made to the cellphone number registered as the membership number.
• The registered cellphone number must be a Vodacom number.
• If the cellphone number is a Vodacom Prepaid number, the equivalent airtime value will be credited.
• The registered cellphone number must still be active on the Vodacom network as at the date the credit is affected (1 July 2010).
• The Vodacom credit card account must be in good standing on 31 May 2010 and the credit will be made to the July cellphone bill.
• Yebo Bucks and airtime may not be exchanged for cash.
• The credits are offered by Vodacom as a gesture of goodwill and should not be construed as admission of any liability whatsoever.
• Current Yebo Bucks terms and conditions apply.

Vodacom credit card terms and conditions still apply.
