Credit cards. You've probably got some spares? Set up DDs then spend £1 or some other nominal amount on the card. The main issue with this method is the long waiting time for the next statement and payment date to arrive.

Charity donations. Quicker. 25% bonus with Gift Aid and tax back if you're a higher rate payer!

only have 2 credit cards nowadays and they're set up already.
my charge card i pay manually.
i may set up some small DDs into Pension pots.
