Read the wiki carefully before posting. Wiki may be out of date.
800-950-5114. Non-US agents are, as of at least August 15, 2015, able to do debit card payments. If they resist, ask for a US agent.
Please do not report that debit payments do not work over the phone, they do! Hang up and call again (HUCA) until you get someone capable.
The same thing can be done in a Citi branch, but you do not swipe the debit card or enter any PIN, so it seems likely that the same cards do/don't work in branch as over the phone.
The name on the debit card must match the name on the account. You can be an authorized card holder (they'll ask the name of the primary). You can also pay off Citi Business credit cards (only attempted as primary cardholder). Limit of one payment per debit card per account per day.

People paying off citi with buxx....are you literally loading up buxx using a citi card and then turning around a day later and paying it right back to citi using the same card you just loaded? lol. They don't catch on to that at all?

Does this mean the issue has been resolved, and we can use US Bank Mastercard GC again? If so, can you please update the wiki (since you can confirm)?

Remember when this method was first discovered, some people were reporting that MCs bought at Sam's Club don't work. Maybe this is the same type of thing?

Randalls is Kroger I believe, so I would imagine so.
Sidenote, I personally would not continue to buy gift cards from places that requires more personal ID above just checking and verifying my photos ID name with the name printed on my Credit Card

Randalls is not the same as Kroger...Randalls falls under the safeway/tom thumb etc...
