I want to know what payment methods I can use to pay my AWS bill.

Resolution

Available payment methods vary by AWS seller of record information. You can find the name of your AWS seller of record on your monthly invoice.

Note: The payment methods that are available to you might be limited by the terms of your agreement with AWS.

Amazon.com gift cards and PayPal aren't accepted payment methods for AWS services.

Prepaid credit and debit cards are accepted payment methods when they're from the following card issuers.

Note: It's a best practice not to use prepaid cards. This is because if the prepaid balance runs out, then recurring payments might fail. Failed payments can result in the suspension of your AWS account.

The following are accepted payment methods by AWS seller of record.

  • Credit and debit cards issued by Visa, MasterCard, American Express (USD only), Discover, Diners Club, Japan Credit Bureau (JCB), Amazon Store Card, and many others

Verification of VISA debit card is difficult unless I ring bank. CVV should be accepted so it can be automated.
