Verizon One time payment page: Make a payment even if you aren't an account owner/account manager, and if you have a disconnected account!
$135 in One Time Charges
Charged $50 for Paying Early
You were charged back for the discount bc you used a payment method that doesn't apply for the autopay discount. This is very clearly part of the t&c of autopay that you have to pay with your checking account directly, or you will be charged back. The system even mentions it when you pay with the wrong method, warning you that you will lose the discount for paying with a method other than a checking account.

The Verizon one time payment page can be used even if you aren't the account owner, or an account manager. You'll also get a balance due. You can just pay a portion of that.
This is a safer way to pay your bill instead of giving the money to the account owner.
All you need is your phone number and the account's billing zip code(usually the zip code of the account owner.)
For disconnected accounts you'll need your account number.
