Keypad meters - does topping up lock in current prices?
I have a keypad meter, and PowerNI (Northern Ireland electricity company) are going to put up prices soon by as much as 20%. If I buy the maximum £175 topup allowed, does this lock in today's prices and therefore I make a 20% saving for the next few months until the next topup?

If you, like me, are with British Gas, try to submit new meter readings today (or asap after) to coincide with their price increase for both gas & electricity.
