Comcast Swings Bill-Paying Deal With 7-Eleven

PHILADELPHIA -- Comcast announces a new payment option for customers who prefer to pay their TV, Internet or phone bills with cash. Through a partnership with PayNearMe, Comcast has launched a new feature on the XFINITY My Account app which enables customers to pay their bills using cash at more than 7,700 participating 7-Eleven stores. Combined with the more than 500 XFINITY stores, Comcast customers will have access to over 8,000 cash payment locations across the country.

With most 7-Eleven stores open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, cash-paying customers now have an around-the-clock option to pay their bills close to home. A list of participating 7-Eleven stores can be found here.

“Improving the customer experience is our top priority, which is why we’re giving customers more options when it comes to interacting with us,” said Mark Allen, Vice President, Strategy & Development, Customer Service, Comcast Cable. “About five percent of our customers prefer to pay their bills in cash each month. This new partnership gives those customers a payment option that is convenient and simple.”
