To update the payment method

  • Go to the bottom of the page and click the link to "Add or Change Credit Card" or "Add or Change eCheck."
  • For credit or debit cards, enter the full card number, security code, and expiration date and click "Verify Credit Card" if that option is present (Visa, Discover, MC). If the credit card information passes verification, click the "Save Changes" button to save the new information.
  • For bank debits, enter the full routing number and the full account number. Click the "Save Changes" button to save the new checking information.

To update the expiration date, follow the instructions above but only enter the new expiration date and click "Save Changes." An updated security code is not required if the only change is to the expiration date.
