Chris,

Do you currently have a .NET Passport? Once you login to Money with
your .NET Passport with the radio button checked for "Use Money's
online features", go to the promotional link within Money again for
Bill Pay and try the process again.

Sorry you're having so much trouble, but give this a try and post back
with your results. Thanks.

Regards,
JB

Oh, so you're saying it's normal that the page I come to
when I click on the link in MS Money doesn't mention the
free months that you get when signing up from Money, BUT
that once I enroll it should detect that I accessed the
link from Money and should get the special offer?

I guess I would have thought that the link from Money
would have dropped me on a different splash page that
indicated the discount that I was supposed to receive.
Instead, I see this copy:

Premium: Pay anyone you currently write a check to for
only $5.95 a month. Make up to 15 payments or funds
transfers. Try it FREE for 3 months.*

Standard: Pay anyone you currently write a check to for
only $2.95 a month. Make up to 5 payments or funds
transfers. Try it FREE for 3 months.**

And when I click on the "Sign Up With MSN Bill Pay", the
first step of the sign up process also says:

Premium Plan¹..............................Free for 3
months, then only $5.95 per month*
Pay anyone with a U.S. mailing address, from your phone
company to your babysitter, and transfer money between
any of your checking, savings, and brokerage accounts so
you have money where you need it, when you need it. Make
up to 15 transactions per month!

So, I don't know what I'm missing here

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I agree the KB article could have gone a bit further; once you get to
the signup page you need to either enroll if you're new or sign-in if
you're already enrolled. They don't mention the offer until after
your signed-in(up).

Try again; you're almost there!

Regards,
JB

What you cite below is exactly what I did, but I still
come to a page that tells me my "offer" is just three free
months rather than the 24 I was promised!

Here is the info I found on that page:

INTRODUCTION
This article discusses how to sign up for free MSN Bill
Pay services in Microsoft Money 2004.
MORE INFORMATION

To sign up for free MSN Bill Pay services, follow these
steps.

Note You must use the links in Microsoft Money to sign up
for free MSN Bill Pay services.

Start Money 2004.

In the Choose a view box, click Basic or click Normal.

Under MSN Bill Pay, click the appropriate offer:

months of free MSN Bill Pay services.

I did access the signup page according the instructions
in the link you sent - unfortunately, the page I land on
seems to be the standard sign up page. There's no mention
of the free period other than the standard 3 month
initial offer. This is very frustrating - and when I
click on the help screen at the bottom of the MSN Bill
Pay sign up screen it tells me to go to the "Messages"
page to contact customer support, but when I do this I
land back on the exact same sign up page! Not what I
would have expected from Microsoft.

I am trying to sign up for Bill Pay from MS Money Small
Business 2004, but when I access the signup page from the
app it just says that I will get three months free and
then it's 5.95/month. I thought I was supposed to get 24
months free - that's one of the main reasons I went with
MS Money over Quicken!
