Mint Bills -- New Form of Bill Pay
Anyone tried this yet? https://www.mint.com/how-mint-bills-works
Allows you to do bill pay with a bank account or a debit card. Debit card requires you to include a billing address. Can only chose from listed vendors. Very slick website design. Is this a better form of Evolve?

Just tried to make a $10 dollar test payment to my Club Carlson card from a T-Mo prepaid debit card. The fee was $53.25.
Can't get any of my utility bills to actually authenticate to see what a test payment to those would be.
Seems useless for our purposes so far...

While it says it's mint but it really is chargesmart. They are super expensive way of making bill payment https://www.chargesmart.com/
I think there is a thread about it somewhere her in this forum

I just got a reminder message from Mint Bills to pay my electric bill.... looks like this is nothing more than a rename of Check.me (also formerly known as Pageonce). Good for keeping track of bills and credit limits, but not usable for MS.

This can be useful in one circumstance -- minimum spend -- particularly when you don't have someone to help you liquidate, and especially when BB/Serve/Redbird aren't sufficient. Get 1.5% (+1 point/dollar or whatever your card gets on general spend) on Amex GCs and run them through here. It let me add my GC and I went as far as the confirmation screen.
