Ally Bank loading to checking at Walmart

Figured I'd start a new thread.
Last week (?) Ally Bank notified me that you can now load money to your checking account (they call it "spending" accounts) at WalMart. The little notification says to use their App when you go to Walmart and it's CASH ONLY.

However, on Reddit, someone has tried (and successfull) loading a VGC to their Ally account.
It's in the Manufactured Spending thread for Dec. 13

Note that I have not tried this myself (not sure if I will since they want DL/Phone # and not sure if Ally would have a cow/bird/whatever). I may wait a few weeks to see what fallout, if any, there is. Since Discover is working fine for me, I'll continue to use that, but will monitor the Ally situation.
