I scheduled a payment last Friday using a VGC, Evolve set a date of delivery for Yesterday, and delivered it. Didn't pay a fee, didn't reject the VGC. Things worked fine.

Has anyone had success adding a biller to Evolve? Do they inform you when they do this? I submitted my second biller for consideration yesterday. The first one was a school that direct debits my account, so I had little expectation they'd add it and they never got back to me, but this one is a life insurance company. Just wanted to know if they let you know if/when they add it. Thanks!

My experience has been very good here...they were very quick to respond/act and their emails were pretty professional. Though that doesn't at all tell you whether or not they'll be able to add your particular biller.

Had something weird happen to me today...

Submitted a $999 payment using Evolve.
Got an email from TD that the transaction was declined, but it's pending on TD site, and still pending on Evolve.
I haven't gone over my $2k per 7 days

Any idea?

Just called CS to ask this question, the representative said you can't make 4 payments (regardless of debit card or cash) more than 4 times to same payee in any 30-day period, i.e. if 2 payments on 7/30 and 2 payments on 7/31, you won't be able to pay the same payee until 8/30.

I do no think the representative is correct. I pointed out T&C "only be allowed to make four (4) payments to the same Biller account number per calendar month" to him but he still insisted on what he said.

Besides, I am reading T&C and can't find where it says "cash payment is not counted against the 4-payment limit" or so. Anyone is able to confirm it?

I made at least 6 payments to one Payee this month, all reloadits with no problems so far.

Made one $500 payment from Evolve to my Citimortgage very late on Friday, July 25 and another $500 payment on Monday, July 28. I went into a branch to pay the remaining amount of the mortgage payment on Monday, July 28.

The payment on the 25th posted on Tuesday, July 29, and the July 28th payment posted on Wednesday, July 30 (both around 10 a.m.).

Originally, these payments were posted as "additional funds received" but not applied to anything (principal, interest, etc.). A day or two later, the payments were applied as principal payments.

I called Citi on Wednesday, July 30, after the final payment posted and the total mortgage payment was "received" on the account. The CSR said she would combine the payments to make up the August 1 payment and the payment would be completed on Saturday, August 2. I logged back in shortly after the call and the changes had already been made and the August payment is considered made!

NOT DEAD. Just got off the phone with an evolve supervisor. Just make sure she said when you click on a date from the menu that your gift card is being charged that day. Any future payments that require the gift card to be charged at a later date will fail.

Thanks for this.

I just got a decline on a GC... the new screen is confusing (yoooooo hooooo.... Alex... can you make it more user friendly???). I'll try again when my funds reappear on my card. Uggghhh.. this is managment and labor intensive!

Made 2 payments this weekend...

OV looks like it was resubmitted and will go through.

GCM VGC reads
Recurring/Installment restriction declined
so looks like I will have to call and probably resubmit.

I got this Recurring/Installment restriction declined as well, could I know which party I should call to resolve? evolve or the gc representitive? thanks!

If I schedule a payment for 8/1 on 7/31 (money is charged on 7/31), is it counted against the 4-payment limit of July or August?

Nobody knows at this point, it is all new.

I used to pay my utility bill for free with no problems using VGC. Now the same day option charges the express $1.50 fee, and the 1 day out option has failed 3 times for me due to the Recurring/Installment restriction. So indeed it appears that for some payees it will no longer be free if paying with a prepaid debit card. Terrible!

Paying my own checking account.....
 
How do I go about paying into my own bank / checking account.

I have a mortgage with a bank, the bank automatically pulls money out of my checking account to pay for the mortgage every month.
I ONLY use this account to pay the mortgage.

Is there a way to use Evolve to send funds to the banks (my account) checking account (to ultimately pay off the mortgage payment)?

Here was my thought::::
1) buy VGC from staples
2) using Evolve pay my mortgage with these vgc (debit cards)

My mortgage is greater then what I can buy VGC for ($200 per VGC * 4 times per month per biller = $800 total).
So I thought I'd just add the $800 to my checking account and make sure there is enough money in there to pay off the rest of the mortgage.

I hope this makes sense --

Find higher amount VGC. Does anyone even pay CB anymore on Staples VGC?

jamboree Jul 30, 2014 3:30 pm

Largest VGC I can find are $200
 
The largest denomination VGC's I can find at staples are $200.
