Yes. Visa, MasterCard and Discover payment cards (credit, debit, etc.) are accepted for automatic payments (also known as recurring payments).
NOTE: An independent provider will charge a convenience fee of up to $1.35, based on card type, per payment. Payment by card may not exceed $1,500, inclusive of convenience fee.*
Why will I be charged a convenience fee for every payment processed?
PG&E has partnered with an independent payment provider with the option of using your credit and debit card to make payments on a recurring basis. Each transaction on a recurring basis incurs a processing cost. The convenience fee is charged by an independent payment provider. California Assembly Bill 746 (AB746, enacted in 2005) does not allow energy companies, including PG&E, to pass on these costs to all customers. Only customers who choose to use this service will be charged the convenience fee.
Why are there different convenience fees? ($1.00 vs. $1.35)
Credit card convenience fees are $1.35 per payment. Debit card convenience fees are either $1.00 or $1.35 depending on which payment network is used to process the transaction. The actual fee will be stated in the payment confirmation page.
