It's probably worth checking with them. Here in the UK my credit card issuer stopped listing direct debit in their "how to pay this bill" section a while ago, but they do still offer the service if you ring up and ask.


Ditto. It's what I always did in the UK and in the US I've attempted to do the same. Two out of three of my card providers (HSBC and Chase aka United Airlines) do offer the service - ie pay the bill in full at the latest date possible without penalty, but CapitalOne don't. Hence, I no longer use their card - only got it because they actually offered me a card just after I arrived...
