I was relying on evolve so I could pay student loans with credit cards (my lenders will not accept credit card payments directly), other than serve is there any other viable alternative to paying student loans with credit cards now that evolve has instituted these fees?

I'd argue Serve is a better option anyway unless your student loans are over $1000 a month or you were already using Serve for pure MS. With Evolve you were still paying fees for the gift cards. Serve will let you load $1000 a month online fee free.

Sallie Mae + Upromise?

Even if your loan was more than 1000/mo, you could get your SO or other trustworthy companion to get another Serve and do more than 1000/mo.

If you don't mind paying fees, you can get 1000 UR for $6.95 using Ink at Staples (in store or online) for a $200 VGC. Then load at WM to Serve for free. Max load with Serve at WM is $5000 per calendar month. Added to the $1000 in free online CC loads to Serve and that's $6000/month. I sure hope your student loans don't exceed that!

What's the emoji for a ding sound, like I got denied?

I need that.

EM didn't like me pushing multiple payments through to my mortgage. Now I gotta send in additional paperwork.

So, you guys don't want me to follow the rules? Even your new rules?

Sure, they're fee-free gift cards. But you SAID those were OK!

B'bye.

RIP Evolve - today my last fee free pre-scheduled payment went to my daughter's college tuition account. Looks like that's it for me, it was fun while it lasted.

Does anyone know any other company or website is available to pay utilities bills using credit card without pay any fees?

Care to elaborate? I was getting ready to send 4 payments to my mortgage as well. Assuming they don't have any problems (which sounds like they probably will) - if I send 4 in one day would they just send 1 payment to mortgage? My servicer has sent me letters the past 2 month complaining about multiple payments for less than the balance due.

I thought it was one payment per day, no?

I did three over three days and then got an email about sending in a lot of paperwork.

Kinda hard to justify, since I figure they'll just change the rules again soon enough.

you can do 4 in one day. For me personally, large $ amounts trigger a flag not the quantity of payments. I received a few requests when submitting 999.00 payments but never on the 200.00 gift card payments. I think oaying down your mortgage through evolve is difficult, if your are just making your monthly's I see no reason why they wouldn't let you or why you wouldnt send them the bill.

What fee-free GCs were you using?

Have to look back, but I think one was a Macerich and one was a US Bank. Third might have been an old Simon.

I know OV doesn't work. What's left? Anyone try Sunrise?

Oh. Didn't realize. I think my brain is stuck in Evolve 4.0 and not the current version (11.0)?

These guys are faster that Flash with the updates.

Sunnies are a no go...

I only found one person mention Central loan (cenlar) here. I am hoping someone has an idea about this, i made a payment end of feb which posted fine (as additional principal payment) and then 4 more payments this month. Of the 4, evolve says 2 were rejected. How would 2 payments only get rejected when others went through fine. Does this sound more like an evolve issue?

Edit: does anyone know what time evolve cs is available? After selecting a couple prompts (1-2-1,1-2-4) It keeps telling me call cannot be completed at this time.
