If I make a payment for next month does that count as credit ?

Why would you want to do that. Let the direct debit or continuous card payment do its job otherwise it may take two payments.

I was just assuming to be ahead of my payments and know if it counted as credit towards July

Hi @James519 What is the payment for? The general rule is to never make a manual payment unless requested to do so by Sky.

@James519 you have to be careful with timing, if you do that. Your payment would have to reach Sky and clear before your July bill is generated, which is around two weeks before your payment date.

General idea is for my savings and the timing and to pay for a months early payment in credit, is it bad ?

@James519 you can certainly do it, if you wish, but just be careful of timing. Best to check to see when your bill has been generated whether it takes account of your credit. If it doesn't your direct debit will be taken as normal
