Yes, I can see how these are two very similar situations!

I had success just calling the store.

"Hi, do you have a Bluebird kiosk?"

"Yes."

"Is it working right now?"

"Let me check."

(pause)

"Yes."

"Thank you."

Which department did you ask for? Last time I called I got transferred and put on hold so many time I finally just give up.

You can always call and ask.

I didn't ask for any department... the person who answered the phone gave me the information I needed. I have only done this once, so maybe I just got lucky.

MoneyPass

Thanks.

Call during nonpeak hours (like the middle of the night). That's what I did.

Won't work. It's been mentioned before on the megathread (>200 pages). You have to use a WM MoneyCenter kiosk.

Now we just need to find a way to do a single $1,000 load with several split tenders since I've still got a stack of OM $100 Visa GCs. Otherwise it takes me 10-15mins with 10 transactions.
======================
I'd buy one large money order for $999.xx at my grocer and put that one in the bank. JMO.

They definitely need to add those MoneyCenter Express kiosks at every Walmart. It makes absolutely no sense to not have them.

can someone clarify something for me...

People hunt these kiosks to unload GCs without a CSR giving you hassle and is typically free.

There are no kiosks around me, so I can go to the nearest Wally Word and go to a cashier and dump $1k onto my serve from a prepaid that does not say GIFT CARD ... will that still be free or will that have a load fee?

Maybe it's just my luck, but i've only loaded two NON-VRs to my BB account, naturally both of them at Wal-Mart.

1st was a USBank Variable MC (loaded at the Service Center)
2nd was this morning, a Vanilla GC (loaded at a register)

Both were loaded with to my BB account, the first time the transaction goes through its says there was an error, I swipe my card again, and it works with the receipt printed out showing my new BB balance!

No kiosks at Walmarts in CT, but haven't had one problem using a cashier. Its actually been much better than I expected.

Walmart removed my Go-to Kiosk as of today. Asst mgr said they removed it for good.
It is still showing as a location in the search today.
