I avoid Walmart in principal, but I've not had any trouble with using prepaids there. YMMV. The only way to know is to try.
ran into this when I 1st got my MVD. Now I know for 1 MO any amount @ WM its - $.120 (.70 to WM and .50 for MVD) if 2 MOs any amount its - $1.90 .70 x 2 and .50 to MVD) If your MVD doesnt have enough funds to pay all the fees and the amount you want the MO for it will be Denied. I remember my 1st time I was off by 10 cents and got Denied.
Keep in mind if you want 2 MOs and do 2 different transactions its $1.20 x 2 and not $1.90 as MVD will hit you twice for their .50 fee ( getting 2 MOs on teh same transction with WM MVD takes only .50 1 time , since MVD fees are per transaction you do and not the # of MOs you get while WM fee is per MO and not teh # of transactions you do
btw never had any problems if the correct amount was on my MVD using the Temp card @ WM
