As of 6/19/2014, Walmart does not accept debit transactions above $49.99 from cards issued by Bancorp, namely Vanilla Visas (OV, VGC, etc.). Attempts result in "Alternate Tender Required," "Debit Not Available," and/or some other error message, at both registers and the Money Center Express (MCE, kiosk, Kate, ATM).
There is no workaround.

Sounds good. I'm a nightshifter too, got cancelled tonight and slept all day...so I've got nothing better to do but try to be quiet and not wake my wife / baby up.

There is a workaroumd
I just unloaded a 500 VGC. You have to do it in small increments. $90 at a time, 5 times, then a final $50. Plus Kate sometimes spazzes and will say card not accepted upon swiping. You need to wait a minute or two or use another card. It's effectively killing it though since the time it takes to unload a 500 VGC in 6 swipes is totally impractical. The extra free in using GCs from groceries trumps the pain in unloading. Or just liquidate via MO at places other than Walmart.
