Another question about prepayment meters

Soleil_lune

Someone said on a question I posted about PP meters earlier that you can only have £49 at a time - I think that's what they said: but does this mean you can only put £49 on the key? Or that you can only have £49 at the most on the meter?

So if I had a PP meter, could I get £49 on it on 1st December, then £49 on 2nd December, and then £49 on the 3rd of December, to have £147 on it, to last for a few weeks/1 or 2 months over the cold weather? Or is £49 the most you can have on the meter?

Thanks in advance.

I've no idea but I hope not. It would be ridiculous to force you to have to go out in winter more than once a week to top up.

I,ve got an EDF prepayment meter,when I get my key charged they put on £40 and then £10 so there is £50 on the key,it just cant be done in one transaction.My meter has had in excess of £100 on it so your £147 would work.

You can have up to £249/ £250 on a key meter.

Put £60 on ours yesterday. They did it as two transactions £40, then £20.

It went on the meter fine.
