Frequently asked questions
Everything about Yuth Conekt membership, points, referrals and payouts.
Joining
Who can join Yuth Conekt?
Anyone in South Africa who is 25 or younger. We check your age with your South African ID number when you sign up — only your date of birth is kept.
Does it cost anything?
Membership is free. VIP is optional at R120 a year and unlocks VIP-only offers and drops.
What happens when I turn 26?
Your membership runs until the end of the calendar month in which you turn 26, then the account closes automatically.
Do I need to be a student?
No. A student card is optional and simply speeds up verification.
Points and rewards
How do I earn points?
Show your Member Pass at a partner business and they scan it. You earn 1 point for every R1 you spend.
What are points worth?
100 points is worth R4 in rewards. You can see the value of your balance on your profile.
What can I redeem points for?
Airtime, data and partner vouchers from the Redeem screen. Requests are processed by our team.
Why has my points balance not updated?
Points appear once the business finishes scanning your pass. If something looks wrong, contact support with the date and the business name.
Verification
Why do I need to verify?
Verification confirms you are a real member so businesses can trust your pass, and it unlocks referral rewards.
How long does it take?
An email address ending in .ac.za is instant. ID and student card checks are reviewed by our team, usually within a working day.
Referrals and payouts
How does refer a friend work?
Share your personal referral code. When a friend signs up with it and completes verification, you earn R50.
How do I get my referral reward?
You choose: take R50 as a cash payout to your bank account, or take it as 1 250 points straight away.
When is a cash payout paid?
Once you request it, our team verifies the referral and pays it into the bank account on your profile. Payouts are being piloted, so allow a few working days.
Can I use my own code?
No. A code only works on a new account, and each account can use one referral code.
Account and privacy
Who can see my banking details?
Only you and our payouts team. Your account number is masked everywhere in the app after you save it.
Can I change my date of birth?
No — it is locked to the age check because it decides your eligibility. Contact support if it is wrong.
How do I delete my account?
Email Support@yuthconekt.co.za from your registered address and we will close it.
