Look at your BB account history sometime. It shows Walmart loads as "Cash" regardless of how you paid. What makes you think WM sends your receipt to Amex? They show that same info about the card you paid with on your receipt regardless of whether you are loading BB, buying MO, or just doing normal shopping there. I'm guessing Walmart just authorizes a Bluebird load for X amount with Amex (to make sure you aren't exceeding 1k/5k limits), then after you pay they confirm the load and Amex puts the money in your account. Also if you look at the page that lists options for loading BB there's no mention of using debit cards at Walmart, and the 1k/5k limit is listed as cash, combined Walmart and VR loads, with no mention of debit.
