This is the thread for posts through 2016. The new thread for 2017 is http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manufactured-spending/1826119-billpay-walmart-2017-a.html
Bill Pay cannot be done at a regular register.
It must be done at Customer Service/Returns.
Or at the Money Center in stores that have it.
BUSINESS DAY transaction completion time is 18:59:59 EST
--------------------------------------------------------------
WM offers two BP services: CheckFreePAY and MoneyGram. The cashier can initiate CheckFreePAY by selecting Money Services followed by Bill Pay on the register for a fee of $1-1.88. Moneygram is $4.99.
Once your CFP account is set up, you can add cc. When you want to BP give them your phone# to look up your account under Money Services. They often get confused and think you want MG, but just say it is under Money Services.
ONLY 4 successful debit card swipes can pay for a transaction.
ONLY 5 payments per 16 digit account number per rolling 30 days.
--------------------------------------------
:-:VISA and MC
If your particular card isn't on the list below, try "VISA" or "MASTERCARD."
"VISA" and "MASTERCARD" payee can no longer be found by search at some stores. If the employee can no longer find "VISA" or "MASTERCARD" by searching in CheckFreePAY, then you cannot pay either, end of story.

Went to one Walmart to pay a Barclay MC bill. They could not find the payee and wanted to see a bill. Left because i didn't have a copy with me. Then I went to one of the local "Neighborhood" WM to do the billpay (have been there before with no issues). Today they said that they have now been instructed to use "Financial Services" for all bill pay functions. They were able to find Barclay and do the payment but the fee was $4.99 instead of the normal $1.88. No problem with the split payment.
Any guidance on how they should actually be ringing it up?
Forgot to mention that with the "new" financial services, they actually look up the bank. In this case it was Barclay - not MasterCard.

Was curious if anyone has any feedback on this problem. I paid $2k on a visa on Monday, successfully, but went in today to pay another $2k and the register said "invalid tender type" whenever the money center agent typed in the amount I wanted to pay and hit debit, wouldn't even allow her to swipe the card. She always handles my payments, so I think she knows what to do. Tried a second register, got the front end supervisor, they were at a complete loss. Voided the transaction twice, tried for $1999, no dice. I left and said I would try another day, but I'm unsure what to have them try...

My payment sent Sun. showed up sometime in the early morning Thu(today). This is definitely not next day! Wierd thing is, on the Chase account I paid, is that the payment is not posting, but the amount due has gone down by the amount that I paid.

My Sun (5/4) BP to Barclays Arrival showed up as pending Wed (5/7) when I checked at 11:30pm ET. This morning it has posted and funds are available.
I wonder if this is the new schedule or just glitch.

That sometimes happens with my Chase Biz cards. Transactions on some Chase Biz cards will show pending, then disappear for a few days before they post. It's weird.
