Hi @Psherwood16, we are here to clear any question you may have.
When a DIRECTV STREAM account tries to make a payment, and fails, the next day it goes to a 16 days grace period until been turned off.
PayPal is not taken as a payment method when you are signing up for a new DIRECTV STREAM service.
After the 1st months charges are paid, you can update the payment method to PayPal. The most remarkable difference is the number of attempts to make the payments, with Visa Credit Cards it will make 4 attempts, with other payment methods, it will make 10 attempts.
You can update the payment method following the links provided by our web page.

Sorry for the confusion, the bulk of my answer was for DirecTV, not DIRECTV STREAM.
But you cannot negotiate interest. You deal with the billing options they provide.

@DIRECTVhelp I just contacted DIRECTV and they told me that the grace period is 3 days.
I asked for a small extension. They denied it.

To be clear: There is no way to grant a short extension beyond the 3 day period?
I offered to pay $50 in interest next week if that would help.
