Well it all depends on the cost of getting the prepaid meter installed ect.

Which muni would that be?
It's the years off my life in frustration dollars I'm worried about.

Our municipality does not currently offer prepaid electricity through Online Banking. You have to buy electricity with cash from certain vendors. Does anyone have know if there is anything I can do to get them to offer it through Online Banking?

Have you checked Easypay (they support a lot) then you'll get 4% I think at RL5 (platinum).

Moqhaka is also not on the Easypay list. I preferably want to use Online Banking to get 15% back in eBucks.

I don't see the Overberg muni on there. Dammit.
Another thing to note is that at least one estate/complex in Durbanville somehow managed to run their own prepaid meters for all their units. So outside the estate you can use FNB for electricity, but inside you are forced to buy from the gym where you can only buy during business hours and pay what they charge.
We don't stay there anymore so I don't care anymore, but I can't imagine that that is a legal setup.
So if you do install prepaid, maybe ask the installer for the meter number and test it beforehand with R10.
Edit: You also could not buy from Spar or any other normal place, so this is not really an FNB topic.

@Aessa, Waterstone in Century City has the same or similar prepaid setup. You have to buy from the machine that is in between the West and East complexes...
Gave City Power a call, expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. Call was answered almost immediately and spoke to nice friendly young lady that gave me all the info.
- Take proof of residence (Rates bill)
- Take ID Book
- Fill out forms
- Pay R2500
- Wait a month while they install
If only it can all go as smoothly as this phonecall... but I'm guessing there will be snags.

So I found this at Makro: http://www.makro.co.za/baby-toys-and-entertainment/ps3-500gb-action-racing-bundle-289609EA for R5000.
Am I right in saying that if I am on level 5 for example, I can buy the Makro vouchers at 40% discount from the eBucks store, and therefore only pay R3000?

Yes that's correct.
Through I would not spend R3000 ebucks on a old console
Not worth it?
I thought for 500gb and 5 games it is not bad at all
As far as I know, the discount only applies if you purchase your voucher using eBucks.
So let's say you purchased a R5000 voucher using R2500 of cash and R2500 of eBucks.
I think (and I could be wrong) that would still pay R2500 cash anyway, but you would get a discount on your R2500 in eBucks.

Provided you have enough eB then yes, you pay eB30,000.
+eB25 for sms voucher or eB400 / R40 for physical voucher delivery.
