How to Recharge a Blu Voucher

So, you've got a Blu Voucher and you're looking to "recharge" it. The thing is, you don't actually recharge the voucher itself. Instead, you use it to top up or pay for things on other websites. Think of it like a gift card - once you've used the balance, it's finished. I remember the first time I bought a Blu Voucher, I was a bit confused too. I bought it from a spaza shop to top up my online betting account and thought I had to add money to the voucher first. But it's actually much simpler than that!

To "recharge" your Blu Voucher, what you're really doing is using its 16-digit PIN to deposit money into an online account, like your favorite betting site or online store. You don't top up the voucher itself. Instead, you use the voucher to top up your account with one of Blu Voucher's partners.

How to Use Your Blu Voucher

Using your Blu Voucher is super easy. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Buy a Blu Voucher: You can get a Blu Voucher from any store that has the Blu Voucher logo. I usually grab mine from Pick n Pay or a local spaza shop. You can also buy them online through your banking app. If you want to learn how, check out our post on how to buy a Blu Voucher online.

2. Get your 16-digit PIN: Once you've paid, you'll get a slip with a 16-digit PIN. Keep this PIN safe, as it's what you'll use to make your payment.

3. Go to the partner's website or app: Head over to the website or app where you want to use your voucher. For a full list of partners, you can read our blog on where to use a Blu Voucher.

4. Choose Blu Voucher as your payment method: When you're ready to pay or deposit, look for the Blu Voucher logo and select it as your payment option.

5. Enter your PIN: A screen will pop up asking you to enter your 16-digit PIN. Type it in carefully and double-check it for any mistakes.

6. Confirm and you're done! Once you've entered the PIN, confirm the transaction. The money will be instantly added to your account. It's that simple! For example, if you're a betting fan, we have a great guide on how to put a voucher on Betway.

I find Blu Vouchers so convenient for online payments, especially when I don't want to use my bank card. The other day, I wanted to buy something online but was a bit worried about security. I just popped out to the store, got a Blu Voucher, and paid without having to enter any of my banking details online. It gave me peace of mind.
