• Security: AWS is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider, adhering to strict security standards for handling credit card data. They use encryption and other security measures to protect your payment information.  
• Automatic Payments: AWS will automatically charge your default payment method at the beginning of each month for the previous month’s charges.
• Payment Failure: If your automatic payment fails, you’ll receive an email notification and you can manually retry the payment in the console.  

Therefore, using a credit card online is a standard and secure way to pay your AWS bill. Just ensure your credit card details are up-to-date in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console.
