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(?).

Can you overpay a charge card & ask for a check back from the lender?

For everyone wondering: this is a no brainer way to pay school loans! Buy GC with CC - maybe meeting a spend threshold, Visa GC from Staples with INK - pay school loan with GC via Evolve and use the cash you would otherwise had to have used - to pay the c.c. Bill.

He's saying what that instead of paying loans off with let's say a check from money made by working, you could use the GC to pay that and use the check money for the CC. End of the day it's the same thing except you get points for it. Hope I was clear lol

I see "Paypal Buyer Credit" but what would you put for your account number? Email address?

Ok so after not geting any clear info here on how to pay a Gap CC

I chat'ed with Gap CC CSR and this is what I got

There is 2 versions of a Gap Card

1 the Visa that starts with a 4
2 the store card that starts with a 6

The rep claimed that at the moment there is no option to change it to only store card but it comes around from time to time and he will email me then.

Rep also claims there is no way to select what version you get when you apply its a bank decision.

saying this Dan has the store card that starts with a 6 and there for hes able to use Evolve
but the guys that have a visa there is no way to pay with Evolve.
