Allstate quickpay limited to less than $1,000 [edit]
Curtis Browne
Trying to use Quick Pay for my Allstate bill. It shows in the checking account dropdwon, but when I try to pay it tells me that the payment must be less than $1,000. Is that an unalterable limit? It makes Quick Pay almost useless.
Any suggested workarounds other than using my banking web site to pay the bill?

I do believe that is a hard limit you can't override. I'm guessing they put it in to limit the possibility of a hacker stealing people's money given that this is a third-party service acting for you (It limits their liability too).

here is one old thread that also mentions the $1,000 limit -

IMHO, it might be best if you avoided Quick Pay and paid your bill using one of these alternatives:
Logon to the bank's website and make your bill pay payments from the bank. In parallel to that, in Quicken use a regular Scheduled Reminder to record your payment.
Logon to the biller's website and set up their Autopay, APS, Direct debit, etc. to make the current payment and/or all future payments on Due Date directly from your checking account. In parallel to that, in Quicken use a regular Scheduled Reminder to record your payment.
Write (or print with Quicken) a paper check and mail it to the biller, making sure to mail payment early enough (around 10 days before due date) to allow time for delivery and processing.
