How to update credit card information

Updating your credit card information, or switching your autopayment method to a credit card, takes 5 steps. Even if you are only updating the expiration date on your credit card, you will still need to follow all 5 steps.

Sign in to My CenturyLink
On the My CenturyLink home page, click the link that says "Update AutoPay Payment Method", shown below.

On the next page you will be shown your current AutoPay information, and you will need to click the button that says "Update Payment Method." This will take you to the AutoPay Details page, which defaults to banking information. If you want to use a credit card, simply click the link that says "use a credit or debit card", shown below.

On the next screen, please enter your credit card number. Even if you are keeping the same credit card and are just updating your expiration date, you will still re-enter that credit card number here. Once you click the box next to the phrase "I agree to the Terms and Conditions", you can click "next" to move to the next step.

On the final screen, you will add or update your expiration date.

IMPORTANT
If your credit card expired recently, your automatic payment may have been rejected.
To confirm it went through, sign in to My CenturyLink, and look at your bill. If you see
an outstanding balance, you can make a one-time payment to take care of it. As long
as you've updated your payment information in My CenturyLink, the next automatic payment should go through normally.

How to update bank account information

You can update your bank account information, or switch your autopayment method to a bank account in 4 steps:

Sign in to My CenturyLink
On the My CenturyLink home page, click the link that says "Update AutoPay Payment Method", shown below.

On the next page you will be shown your current AutoPay information, and you will need to click the button that says "Update Payment Method." This will take you to the AutoPay Details page, which defaults to banking information.

How do I know the change worked?

Updating your AutoPay information should not impact your bill payment cycle. Your payments should go through on time, just as you expect. However, if you want to double-check that the change went through as you expect, you can do two things.

First, you can continue to check back in My CenturyLink and watch for the update to your AutoPay payment method.

Second, you can monitor your bill for the next billing cycle to ensure the payment went through on time. If it did not, you can make a one-time payment to ensure your account is up to date.
