Evolve Money – Online billpay service

Pay bills from Evolve’s list of payees, including mortgage, utilities, insurance and “store” credit card, e.g., Macy’s, Gap, Walmart (but NOT regular credit cards or store co-branded CC, like a Walmart Discover or BR Visa).

If a particular biller is not listed, you can try emailing Evolve to add it. They seem to respond quite quickly to inquiries, and they will ask you to send a copy of your bill. Some people have had success in seeing their billers added. The billers need to agree to be a part of some kind of Mastercard processing consortium, which may or may not work for you billers.

Daily dollar limits include:

$2,999.00 in payments, of which up to $999.00 may be funded by cash load packs
Individual bill pay dollar limits include:

$2,999.00 for a single bill funded by a debit card and/or credit card
$999.00 for a single bill funded by a cash load pack
Note: You cannot make more than $10,000 worth of payments per month for credit, debit, and cash load packs.

Monthly payment limits include:

4 payments per month per biller account number using a credit or debit card within the dollar limits listed above.
Unlimited number of payments per month per biller account number using a cash load pack within the dollar limits listed above.

Check with your bank whether they accept partial payments and payments made over a couple of days. (Paying over weekend might arrive on same day.) You will also want to be in touch with your bank the first month you do this to make sure that the payments don't automatically apply to principal, or that your automatic payment (if you have one) doesn't ALSO get taken out. Don't assume that your bank will handle everything perfectly without your involvement, and - especially the first month - make sure you have all payments in with a few days to spare at least so that they can sort it out without also having to worry that the payment will be late.

You can pay bills for no fee with REloadIt packs that can be purchased, Evolve Money credits and with a debit card from "major banks". There are reports that US Bank issued MGCs work fee free as well. Each card counts as one payment toward the four payment limit.

For a 3% fee you can pay with a Visa, MC and Discover CCs.

In the past there was a glitch and certain CCs did work. But after this was publicized, the glitch was closed. 

How
Sign up.
Add new bill.
Then pay with a ReLoadit packs, debit, prepaid(?) or Gift Card(?).

So, id like to meet thresholds by paying school loans.
Is evolve a good way?
Will it be considered eligible spending? What are the pros or cons?
Thanks for all the help!
You can't use a credit card on evolve.

AFAIK it's pretty hard to abuse because the bills you can pay are limited. No CC's etc. so its hard to churn.
If you have a student loan or mortgage you wan't to pay, you can, but otherwise I don't see any large scale action here.
Regarding using GC's they are very aware of it and officially don't mind. The marketing chief had a long interview with a blogger a little while back.

a guy on FT emailed their team earlier this yr and asked about adding CC payments. Here was their response.

One of our most important initiatives in development right now is adding credit card payments. I don't have an exact date for when we'll have that released to our users but it is a major priority (frankly I want that functionality now too).

Other big items we're working on are developing an iOS app (we already have an Android app on Google Play) and adding payment scheduling and reminders. Again, these are in development and we hope to have them done soon.

When we release new features, we always post updates on our blog and send an email to our user base. We'll let you know as soon as the next cool thing is available.

Thank you for your feedback and don't hesitate to email if you have any additional questions. In the meantime, have a good weekend -


Regardless, I am going to give this a shot this week w/ student loan payment.

The marketing guy specifically said they when they add payments to CC companies they will limit the payment options for such payments.

Good Sam's Pimp My Payments Service
« Reply #53 on: April 01, 2014, 12:26:09 PM »
Wow. Just saw this forum and decided to join.  Seems like I can get some great deals here.

Anyway, I found about this great payment service called Good Sam's Pimp My Payments. From there you can do everything from pay bills to shave your nose hairs.  There's a small fee per transaction (only $0.14 for each dollar of payment!), and a low monthly fee of $95, and best of all (drumroll please...) you can use your credit card.  This is great for meeting spending thresholds.  I have no affiliation with this service but I find it to be very convenient, and it's free, so long as you don't use it and time ceases to pass.

This is great, as I have federal student loans to pay! To confirm, which (preferably no-fee) gift cards that I can add a pin to in order to pay?

I can pay my federal student loans directly on their site with a credit card and no fees. Check if you can too.
