The new Your Account page

We just put out new layout to the [Your Account](http://www.skype.com/go/myaccount) area. This is basically the area where you manage everything about your relationship with Skype as the company. It mostly involves buying things such as Skype Credit, extending your SkypeIn number and those kinds of things. There are also settings like e-mail privacy which you may want to use even if you never bought anything from Skype and never will.

All the important things like your remaining Skype Credit and SkypeIn are in the top part of the screen above the fold. We think they’re easier to find now than they were before.

]]>For comparison, here’s a screenshot of the old Your Account area… it felt a bit crowded with the menus and content, while the important stuff was not easy to find, and this is why we remade it.

If you scroll down in the new Your Account area, you can find all your settings and preferences. One new area that wasn’t there before is “Your monthly payment limits” under “Payments”. It shows information about your spending limits with Skype. This was constantly a source of frustration especially for new Skype users and we believe the new payment limits information makes things much more clear.

Please let us know what you think of the new Your Account page. Do you like it more than the old? Anything broken? What could we do better? Post comments here or in the [forum](http://forum.skype.com/viewforum.php?f=24).

    It deffinately looks and works better. However when one goes further to the skypein section and the payment options there is no option for Sainsbury’s evouchers. Why is this.

  2. lauri_vain said 2554 days ago

    For Sainsbury vouchers, go to “Redeem voucher”. Redeem the amount of Skype credit you need (pay attention to VAT). After you have the Skype credit on your account, you can buy SkypeIn for that Skype credit.
