You can load it now, MS will just add the length to your current subscription...

and you pay via CC

you think the price will go down ..as i just bought it off takealot using the 150 off

if i can save that code for something else than its better
Think I used PayPal but just check the payment options

Probably. But I'm not sure.

I'm paid up until sometime late in 2019. Sometimes there's amazing offers out there. CDKeys, Takealot, Prepaidgamer.com all have specials every now and then.

Best is to keep an eye on http://www.cheapgamer.co.za/ via twitter or facebook or something and then you'll see when it comes on special.

Is there not often an option to use the bank exchange rates?
Often I do find that paypal's fx conversion rate is inflated slightly..

Saved a R6 in the end

normal price was 622

but its the best price for a 12 month live account i could fine

would it not have been cheaper to use your Credit card?
I mean if they accept CC?

Always better to use PayPal when buying from these 'grey market' sites. That way if something ever goes wrong, PayPal's dispute process is better than trying to do a chargeback through your bank.

I've never had issues with CDKeys.com, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe.
