Evolve Payments

Evolve Payments is now accepting Discover, so this is a fee-free way to pay billers that don't take (or charge a fee for ) credit cards.  Max is still $1000 per time, and one payment per biller per month, but still useful.  They say they will take V/MC next year.

 

From the email:

 

Get ready to charge it because Evolve Money is introducing payment with credit cards! We're starting with the Discover® card available as a payment source in our latest update to the app.

Now you can pay any of Evolve Money's 11,000 billers, including insurance, utilities, cable, phone and much more using your Discover card. Best of all, Evolve Money does not charge you any bill payment fees when you pay with Discover.

To pay your bills we will accept all debit and prepaid cards and theONLY accepted credit card is Discover.

So one can pay payment for insurance, car loans, etc using Evolve, and there's zero fee.

Does Discover flag this as a cash advance however?

 

I see BMW Financial Services,  Mercedes Financial Services and Lexus Financial services under the list of payees. This is great!

Presumably not since it is a payment to a merchant, just like ChargeSmart etc.

I see. So with Discover, I can pay each payee once each month as well? Smiley Happy

I assume there will still be 1% cashback then?

This is great.


Has anyone used this service before? Are they reliable?

Used it extensively with prepaid cards, no problems at all.  They have added several restrictions (mainly one payment per biller per month) over time, to reduce their costs.

 

BTW, searching around, e.g. Travel With Grant, confirmed that it worked on a Discover card with cash advance limit set to 0.

this sounds fantastic. 

So I can pay 5 different companies for 1k each and that's 5k a month total.

Sounds like a good time to ask Discover to cancel my CLD request.

Now that Premium plus tier seems much easier to get! Smiley Happy

Re: Evolve Payments

I think you will be better off using discover ( or highest cashback/rewards card ) to purchase debit cards or reload PayPal for use on evolve.  

 

Using Discover/VISA/Mastercard to pay bills on evolve makes sense only if  you can earn high cashback/rewards for using the site.
