Plastiq payments via multiple credit cards to same bill

I want to use Plastiq to pay a large bill. However, I want to split the amount I pay into two payments with two different credit cards. Does anyone who has used Plastiq know if its possible or will they only allow me to make one payment at a time to the same vendor? This is important to know because I need to PIF the amount immediately to make sure they get the check in time so I cant send one check wait for it clear and then pay the rest of the balance.

1. I don't know any way of doing it except by 2 checks.

 

2. If the payment is a rush you're courting disaster by using Plastiq to make it. Plastiq is nice but fast it isn't.

Yes, two checks is what I meant. I made the payments via plastiq. I don't really like using them since they charge 2.5%, but I needed to put some large payments on my credit cards so I didn't empty my accounts paying bills. I have vendor payments coming in, but I'd rather pay the fee and have the grace period than letting my accounts dwindle and then have a sudden expense occur. On top of that it it allowed me to complete two spend requirements earlier than I otherwise would.
