Or perhaps having an adjustable low-water mark on the account so that a week or month's worth of billing is kept at any time. That would give some leeway in dealing with CC issues. In our case I could justify keeping $100 there all the time. With today's best rates that's only a few of dollars a year of extra cost. That way, if a person is out of touch for a day, or for the email-averse set, off of email for a vacation, they could still have a decent grace period to arrange an alternative.
