OK folks so I had credit on my keypad meter but i thought I would try the trick of topping up more before October 1st but Electric Ireland have already sent me a long code which will automatically change the rate come October 1st so ideally I'd like to hold off on putting in the new top up and keep getting the existing credit at the lower rate but was just wondering was there a time limit I have to use the new top up by?

Not sure on the expiry length of the topup Ghost, might be worth checking in with them.

With Electric Ireland myself, had to top up in the last week and got the 40 digit code, which means I will move over to the new rates on 1st October.  My own fault for not reading the finer detail of the tariff increase emails

With your first top up from 10 September you will receive a one-off 40 digit code to enter into your keypad meter in preparation for the price increase on 1st October 2022. This will be 20 calendar days from the price change taking effect. It is important to top up your meter with the 40 digit code prior to any further top ups, as these may not be accepted until the 40 digit code has been entered.

So if I had been on the ball before 10 September, and topped up a lump sum it would have kept me on the current tariff until it ran done.

Don't know if this has already been asked, but am I best to top up my electric by a couple of hundred before these price hikes?

I am with Power NI on a top up meter, I loaded my meter before the June hike and weekly usage has been the same since March. So I think it works, I going to give another significant top-up tomorrow so I will remain on the June rate into next year. 

pbat - I would try to see when powerni topup time is, I would imagine it's already too late. If you have credit sitting you'd be as well letting it run low.

Anyone work for private companies that are giving pay increases across the board, to deal with the rate of inflation?

Heard from 2 different people recently who's companies got an overall increase, the figures they gave were 8% & 14%. Is this the norm at the minute? Refreshing to hear.

Definitely not the norm in the construction industry in the north anyway

Not really a rise for inflation, but the cost of items have increased which has a positive increase on the salaries!! So a roundabout increase

Ordinary working people will be  in early graves due to  stress, depression, suicide, starvation, malnutrition , Or  hypothermia .  Millions of People  working their nuts off and  still  not able to even  afford the basics.   The elites  rig the game  so that only they benefit, no one else

It's genocide  . There's no other word for it

Bit exaggerated?
