This was a standard American visa credit card? Trying to figure out what arrangements I’ll need to pay the fee once biometrics is finally scheduled. The ability to use an American credit card would simplify greatly.
@benjamin.hatten - I was able to pay with an American Visa credit card in person for my dependent’s DUC in Lisbon, immediately after they took his biometrics. My DUC had to be paid with a Portuguese bank account via the link provided by my attorney.

Yardley, thanks for posting this awesome information. Based on what you’ve previously posted, as I understand it, you had to pay your DUC under the old system. Your husband was under the new system and you were able to pay it with a pure US credit card (not a debit/credit card combo). If that’s correct, it eases a lot of stress for me because I might have to pay between 24k+ on a debit card in one sitting - not something US debit card issuers are used to or (in most cases) even allow. Congrats to you and your husband!

Hello Coffeman -
I think I am under the old system as I had to pay via link. The payment for my husband was immediately requested following his biometrics in the Lisbon office.
The card I used is definitely not a debit/credit card, but a basic Marriott Visa. I could have used my Jet Blue MC, but tried to use Delta Amex and that was a no go. 
Hopefully, you can put all 24k+ on one or two credit cards and earn the points/miles.
Thank you for you for the kind congrats.
I would be happy being able to pay. Earning points/miles would just be gilding the lily.
Right?! I was shocked when they said I could pay one with my credit card!
Do you mind sharing how the charge is listed on your statement?
It’s just listed as “SEF” nothing else.
