Set up Auto Pay for Monthly Bill Discounts FAQs

Auto Pay is a feature in My Verizon and the My Verizon app that lets the Account Owner set up a recurring automatic monthly payment for your wireless bill.

If you're on an eligible plan, you can get a $5 or $10/month per line discount when you sign up for Auto Pay and paper-free billing. To get the discount, you must use the Verizon® Visa Card, a debit card or bank account as your automatic payment method.

Visit our Auto Pay How to use Guide to learn how to:

• Set up Auto Pay
• Change your Auto Pay date
• Add or change your payment method
• Pause an auto payment
• Turn off Auto Pay
• Auto Pay with Verizon Visa Card

During the Auto Pay enrollment process we'll let you know the date your first automatic payment will post.

When you sign up for Auto Pay you’ll receive an enrollment confirmation message communicating your auto pay date.

Yes, you can make a one-time payment virtually any time, even if you're set up for Auto Pay.

If you make a one-time payment for the full amount of your balance, your next Auto Pay payment will be skipped. If your one-time payment is less than the balance due, the remainder will be paid via Auto Pay.

Keep in mind:

• If you make a one-time payment near your Auto Pay date and your automatic payment is already in process, you'll see a message letting you know that making the payment may result in a duplicate payment.
• If you're getting the $5 or $10/month Auto Pay discount and you use a credit card to make a one-time payment online or through the My Verizon app, the removed discount will appear as a charge on your next bill.

Visit our How to use Auto Pay page to learn how to make a one-time payment.

You can add Auto Pay and paper-free billing to any Verizon plan, but you must be on an eligible plan to get the monthly Auto Pay and paper-free billing discount.

You also must either use the Verizon Visa Card, a debit card, or bank account as your automatic payment method.

Notes:

• The Verizon Visa Card is the only credit card you can use for Auto Pay if you want to get the monthly Auto Pay and paper-free billing discount. If you use a different credit card for Auto Pay you won’t receive the discount, even if your plan is eligible.
• If you have the discount for Auto Pay and paper-free-billing and then make a one-time bill payment with a credit card, you may lose your Auto Pay discount for that month. The removed discount amount will appear as a charge on your bill.
• When you sign up for Auto Pay you're automatically enrolled in paper-free billing too. (However, signing up for paper-free billing doesn't automatically enroll you in Auto Pay.)
