Nobody that I know has had problems with Visa, are you?

No issues with a Visa and the promo code, other than that this was an old one that got denied (too quick on the bill pays to same payee) over a month ago and finally got cleared up from the hold after 30 days.

Thanks ^

Quick Question:

I know that Visa/Mastercard gift cards allow you to register the card with name & address for online purchases, but some companies including Comcast will allow you to use the card without doing this extra step. Do most people preregister their cards when using Evolve?

I just registered for my first payment with them because I didn't want the charge to be reversed, but if I don't have too then this will save time and reduce who has all of my personal information.

Thanks.

I'm hearing the MC GCs are allowed and Evolve is working to fix the glitch that is preventing them from working right now.

did you pay multiple bills at once and use the code? or did you pay one at a time and use the code?

Tried to pay the same mortgage from my account, and also from my wife's account. It dinged me on the second payment.

Wouldn't you need to go through Evolve Money instead of Staples since Evolve is the company that placed the pre-authorization on your debit card? I am interested in the answer because I have a similar problem; the pre-authorization has not fallen off and it has been more than a week.

No need to register. I got Visa and master gift card from staples, safeway, CVS. And I paid through evolve without registration.

Wait for about 5 minutes for each payment even when you pay the same bill, but from different account.

Don't panic and waste time calling around. Just wait for about 10 days. The pre-authorization would disappear from your card automatically.

Roger that. That was definitely not the relevant issue.

Has anyone been successful with a miles earning debit card? i.e. BofA Alaska Air?

Some tips when using evolve money.
I used evolve money to pay my mortgage for the past few months and it works great for me. It's a great tool to liquidate the $100 gift card.

1. No need to register your card. So save you some extra work to pre-register the card.
2. If you pay the same bill in the same amount again and again, wait at least five minutes between each payment.
3. If for some reason, the transaction doesn't go through, your debit card would have some pre-authorization charge and you can't use your card temporary because your card balance would be 0 due to the some pre-authorization charge. Don't panic and waste your time calling around. Just mark your card and put it aside. Wait for a week or 10 days. And the pre-authorization charge would fall off automatically. Based on my experience, it took about 10 days for one vanilla visa and 1 week for staples visa for the some pre-authorization charge to go off.
