How to Pay Showmax With Capitec

Paying for your Showmax subscription with your Capitec account is surprisingly simple. You don't need to enter your card details directly on the Showmax website. Instead, you can easily buy a Showmax voucher right from your Capitec banking app.

It’s a straightforward process that keeps your banking details secure. You can pay for your Showmax subscription by buying a voucher through the Capitec app and then redeeming it on the Showmax website. This method is quick, safe, and can be done in just a few minutes from your phone. I remember the first time I did it, I was worried it would be complicated, but it was so fast I was back to watching my favorite series in less than five minutes.

How to Pay Showmax with Capitec

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to paying for your Showmax subscription using your Capitec bank account.

Step 1: Buy a Showmax Voucher on the Capitec App

The first thing you need to do is get a voucher.

1. Open your Capitec Bank app and sign in.

2. Tap on the "Transact" tab.

3. Select "Buy Vouchers".

4. From the list of available vouchers, choose "Showmax".

5. Select the voucher amount or subscription plan you want to buy. They have options starting from as little as R22 per month.

6. Enter the cellphone number where you want the voucher code to be sent. You can send it to yourself or directly to a friend or family member.

7. Confirm the details and tap "Buy" to complete the purchase. The amount will be deducted from your Capitec account.

You will receive an SMS with the Showmax voucher code almost instantly. It’s a good idea to keep this message safe until you have redeemed the voucher.

Step 2: Redeem Your Voucher on the Showmax Website

Once you have your voucher code, you need to apply it to your Showmax account.

1. Go to the Showmax website at www.showmax.com.

2. If you are a new user, you will need to create an account. If you already have one, simply sign in.

3. Once logged in, look for the option that says "Redeem Voucher". It's usually easy to find on the main page or in your account settings.

4. Enter the voucher code from the SMS you received from Capitec.

5. Click "Redeem" or a similar button to apply the voucher.

Your Showmax account will be credited, and you can start streaming immediately. I once bought a voucher for my nephew as a birthday gift, and it was so cool to just send the code straight to his phone. He was so happy to get it!

Using the Capitec app to buy Showmax vouchers is a great way to manage your subscription without linking your bank card directly to streaming services. It feels more secure and gives you better control over your spending. Plus, you can often find great deals and discounts on Showmax subscriptions exclusively through the Capitec app.

If you enjoy getting great deals on subscriptions and other cool stuff, you should check out the Points Castle app. On the app, you can earn points by doing simple things like playing games and taking surveys. You can then use these points to get all sorts of rewards, including free vouchers in South Africa. It’s an easy way to get more value and enjoy your favorite services without breaking the bank.
