Couple of weeks ago I called into the Shop4You to top up only to find they now are Pay Point,having ditched the Payzone system that Budget use.
So I went home,topped up online & looked at where else in the Dee that have Payzone.
Went to top up at The Corner newsagent only to find that they are now Pay Point,the Post Orifice forcing them to ditch Payzone as well,
So now the is NOWHERE in my town where I can top up!:mad:Even drove thru to Millisle & nope,no where there as well,the Spar now also Pay Point!
Yes I can top up online but what if I only want to top up £5 say?....I have to find somewhere over in Bangor or Ards that has Payzone,which negates the savings I'm making by switching....
So make sure the shops in your town are Payzone before you switch,DONT rely on the information on Budgets website as The Corner switched some time ago yet it's still showing on BE's list!

Good top tip Spike. Hopefully this will save someone switching over and then realising they can't top up as easily as they thought!Regards, Robin.2011 MFW # 34
