As a DIRECTV customer, did you know you can get a $10 monthly discount just by enrolling in auto bill pay? It’s true – DIRECTV offers a promotional rate when you signup to have your bill automatically paid each month. In this article I’ll explain how the DIRECTV autopay discount works and how you can start saving $120 per year.
Overview of DIRECTV Auto Bill Pay
DIRECTV makes paying your satellite TV bill quick and convenient via automatic payments. With autopay enabled, your monthly DIRECTV bill is paid automatically on the due date via
- Checking account
- Debit card
- Credit card
Once setup, you don’t have to worry about logging in and making manual payments each month. DIRECTV securely debits your payment method on file automatically.
And as a bonus for going paperless, DIRECTV gives you a $10 per month discount when you enroll in autopay. That’s an annual savings of $120!
Next let’s walk through how to signup for autopay and start saving.
How to Enable DIRECTV Auto Bill Pay
Enrolling in DIRECTV autopay only takes a few minutes online:
-
Login to your DIRECTV account at directv.com.
-
Under “Billing & Payments”, select “Settings”.
-
Choose “Sign up” under Autopay Settings.
-
Enter your preferred payment method and billing details.
-
Review terms and select “Enroll” to complete signup.
Once enrolled, you’ll see the $10 autopay discount start applying to your account within 1-3 billing cycles. The process is quick and easy to start saving each month.
Autopay Payment Method Options
When enabling DIRECTV autopay, you have two options for your automated payment method:
Checking Account
Provide your checking account number and routing number. DIRECTV will debit your account each month on the bill due date.
Debit/Credit Card
Enter your Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover card number and expiration date. Charges are made monthly to that card.
I recommend using a credit card if possible to keep an extra layer of protection between payments. But checking accounts work fine too.
Don’t Forget Paperless Billing!
To earn the full $10 monthly discount from DIRECTV autopay, you must enroll in paperless billing too.
With paperless billing, your statements are viewed electronically rather than mailed to your home. This saves trees and allows DIRECTV to pass savings to you.
Make sure to go paperless within 30 days of activating your DIRECTV service. Then the autopay and paperless discounts will start being applied.
Maintaining the Discount
To keep receiving your $10 per month autopay and paperless discount continuously, you must:
- Have a valid email address on file
- Keep the same autopay payment method
- Not miss any automatic payments
If your email or payment info changes, make sure to update your DIRECTV account details right away to avoid any lapse in the discount. Keeping autopay active is key!
Benefits of DIRECTV Auto Bill Pay
Beyond the obvious $10 monthly savings, enrolling in DIRECTV autopay provides other great benefits:
- Never miss payment due dates
- Avoid late fees
- Payment done automatically
- Less time spent on billing
- Consistent on-time payments
- Easier budgeting each month
Taking bill pay off autopilot is so convenient. I love the time savings and peace of mind I get with DIRECTV autopay enabled.
