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(?).

Evolve Blocks the payee completely and you are unable to make any further payments if you made more than 1 previously.
anyone have any luck calling or emailing to have the payee unblocked ?
even if you log in under another profile , the billers account number is blocked as well.

Just play dumb and ask them what is going on. Tell them you only sent two payments and the limit is four.  :)

Probably will be a tight limit how much money you can put on CC a month.

I signed up for EM and checked to see lists of payees, I don't see Chase, Citi or any other credit card bill payment options other than store card bills. I also don't see an option to add my landlord's name to pay apartment rent.
I do see Comed which I can use to pay my regular monthly bill which is about $40.
I do see comcast and my tmobile payments but I would rather pay with my Chase ink card to earn 5 points.

So If I pay me electric bill using EM, is there any cash advance fee for using any credit cards, visa or MC gift cards?

Thanks

After a long time , signed up and paid a $20 Comed bill with the $200 Visa GC. Hope it goes thru fine.  I guess only the $200 ones in Staples work Not the $500 ones in CVS/Walgreens?
