See my bill BEFORE it is taken from my credit card
Please give me access to my bill to review before you take it from my credit card. You are the only company in the US that will not allow me to see my bill before I have to pay it. I have spoken to...
I have been with HughesNet for over 13 years. In that time the default payment setup was to have a credit card or bank checking/debit account on file.
In that time they have always charged auto-draft accounts at the time of bill generation.
You do have the option of viewing your bill before it is generated. You will find those charges under the heading of Pending Charges.
You have yet another option. You can go to Invoice Billing. There is a charge of $5.00 per month for this type of billing. Better that you look at it as Hughes gives an automatic $5 discount to those pay by auto-draft.
With Invoice Billing you will have a "bill generation" date, a paper bill that is mailed to you and a traditional "due date".
But again, in answer to your question of "See my bill before ......"
Log in on the my account page, select billing, view Pending Charges.

Screenshot depicting Pending Charges link:
In my experience, "Pending Charges" is always $0 until the date of bill generation, which is also the day the money is charged to your card. (It's $0 even in the screen shot posted as a "solution" to this question.)
So it looks like there really is no way to see how much your bill will be before they charge you.
Your bill will always be the same unless you make changes to your service plan level or purchase tokens. Those items will be listed under pending charges. Clicking on the words Pending Charges will provide details of those charges.
