Hi Oliver20202. I hear your frustration with scheduling your payment. Let's help first with options for paying the bill with this resource on Paying your Verizon mobile bill FAQs: https://www.verizon.com/support/pay-bill-faqs/  

 

Please share more details on any error messages and obstacles you encounter when paying your Verizon bill. Are you working with Verizon FIOS, Wireless Prepaid, or Wireless Postpaid service?

I'd like to know why I can use my Chime Visa card to pay my bill online, but when I go to a store purchase a new phone, I'm told my Chime card cannot be accepted. That makes ZERO sense to me.

I am as well… it says choose another payment method or payment account and I do not have another method. The other card I had on file has disputes I had to handle and close it.

Hey there, Renea3, I'm sorry to hear you're running into an issue with your payment method. Are you trying to make a payment now? Is this error showing when trying to add this payment method to your account?

Same issue. They accepted my card to pay off my phone but when I try and upgrade they won't accept AMEX, 3 different visas, or PayPal. All banks have been contacted and it's a Verizon issue. There are thousands upon thousands of other community members complaining of the same issue since 2020! When you try and reach out for help CS either doesn't understand or they insist it's your bank.

I  paid  $70 on my bill w a Visa.

Checked the balance,  went back 2 MINS LATER USING THE SAME CARD  to pay what was left &  got the message that Verizon "doesn't accept this payment method." 😂🤬😂  It was ACCEPTABLE a few minutes ago, but now nope. 

Customer service keeps replying saying they are SORRY ppl are having issues, yet it never GETS FIXED.  My phone will be shut off in 2 days because if can't find a payment method the system will TAKE for the other $31. I tried 2 other payment methods- both of those  not working too. 

*As a business owner myself, I would never  ignore THIS MANY complaints across internet. Sadly, starting to regret switching from Tmobile.

The last thing we would want is for you to have any regrets switching to Verizon, Sagelmoon. That is definitely strange to have a payment accepted from your Visa and then for it to be declined when attempting another payment with the same card. We are here to help, are you still having issues processing the payment?

Same issue here. Trying to schedule a payment in the payment arrangement page on the app and it tells me to choose a different account or a different payment method. I don’t have either of these things.

Yes I have always used my checking account and now it's saying to use a different form of payment. This is such an inconvenience

That is definitely unusual. We recommend removing the payment method, and adding it again if you keep getting the same message. If the problem continues, let us know.
