You can now pay your Comcast bill at thousands of 7-Elevens

For those who prefer to pay their cable or internet bills in cold, hard cash, Comcast's new partnership with PayNearMe will allow you to do just that at some 7,700 7-Elevens. Finally, customers can re-up their gigabit internet and grab a couple taquitos anytime, night or day.

Customers will still need a smartphone to make their payments, of course. The in-person payment option works by going to the "Pay Bill" section of the XFINITY My Account app, where users can download a barcode for the amount they'd like to pay. A participating 7-Eleven will scan the barcode, take the payment (plus a $1.25 fee for every transaction) and send a digital receipt to the customer's phone.

"About five percent of our customers prefer to pay their bills in cash each month," Comcast's VP of Customer Service strategy said in a release. "This new partnership gives those customers a payment option that is convenient and simple."

Now that Comcast is being sued in Washington State, more customers might actually want to consider paying in cash -- part of that $100 million lawsuit alleges that the cable company harmed some customers' credit scores by conducting unnecessary credit checks.
