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.

I called a couple of the grocery stores and asked what form of payment they accepted for money order purchases. I was told "cash only", when I followed up with "will you take a debit card?", I was told yes. This happened at two Albertson's and one Kroger store.

Interesting. Where are you located? I'm in the DFW area and most places that state "cash only" consider debit as cash. This is especially true at grocery stores. Heck, even CVS used to sell money orders (not sure if they still do but if so, I wonder if they'll take OV for one?) Hmm!! could we be on to something here? lol.
And interestingly, the four stores I know where I can still (well, as of Wednesday!) still buy Moneygram MOs with debit are not actually listed on the Moneygram site.

It seems that The WM POS has been completely reconfigured. It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number, mix Kool-aid into your fishtank, drink all your beer and leave dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.
It will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card.
It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of the new WM POS system, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.
It will move your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.
The new WM POS system will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the
toilet seat up. It will make a batch of meth in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.
So... should I try again tomorrow?

I tried to use a OV at my local WM today at 6:18pm and when I got home I found that the WM POS software had not only demagnetized all the strips on every credit card in my wallet, but had also recalibrated my refrigerator's coolness setting and all my ice cream had gone melty. It screwed up the tracking on my television, and deleted all the Barenaked Ladies songs from my iPod.

Or course. What do you have left to lose?

Everything on my blog is mine. The trick about ordering Amex cards is my own as well. You can search my posts. And I will tell you this - before I posted it on a blog I answered every PM I got. Earlier post were for my friends only, thats why I specifically refer to someone named Benny (chew and spit out guy, can't figure one thing on his own).
If I was to spin it off, I would copy every 101 class from this forum. Thats why I think MMS better start coming up with something more original than "Trip to Hawaii with Emily: part 14". Traffic is golden and it won't last forever.
