This is the thread for posts through 2016. The new thread for 2017 is http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manufactured-spending/1826119-billpay-walmart-2017-a.html
Bill Pay cannot be done at a regular register.
It must be done at Customer Service/Returns.
Or at the Money Center in stores that have it.
BUSINESS DAY transaction completion time is 18:59:59 EST
--------------------------------------------------------------
WM offers two BP services: CheckFreePAY and MoneyGram. The cashier can initiate CheckFreePAY by selecting Money Services followed by Bill Pay on the register for a fee of $1-1.88. Moneygram is $4.99.
Once your CFP account is set up, you can add cc. When you want to BP give them your phone# to look up your account under Money Services. They often get confused and think you want MG, but just say it is under Money Services.
ONLY 4 successful debit card swipes can pay for a transaction.
ONLY 5 payments per 16 digit account number per rolling 30 days.
--------------------------------------------
:-:VISA and MC
If your particular card isn't on the list below, try "VISA" or "MASTERCARD."
"VISA" and "MASTERCARD" payee can no longer be found by search at some stores. If the employee can no longer find "VISA" or "MASTERCARD" by searching in CheckFreePAY, then you cannot pay either, end of story.

I have done 2400 with no questions, its just so hard to find a clerk who knows what they are doing, plus the line behind me is always so large I usually just ask for two MOs since they can do that pretty quick.

Does anyone know if Walmart Bill Pay gives points to the ST debit? I didn't know if it would or not. Costs less than MO and stamp so I am interested in finding out.

Yes, multiple GCs, like most people here do.
The cashier at register asked to see my cards when I was loading GB, I used buxx and switched to another cashier for other GCs.

If you run up against this again try a Jedi Mind Trick by switching the cards and showing them a real debit card. You'll have to have 3 or 4 real debit cards ready in case they ask. At my WMs the keypad is out of sight from the cashier. So its nothing to switch them back and continue swiping the GCs. As long as you dont give yourself away you should be fine.
If you can't do a good Chris Angel then you may have to load 1 card at a time (at different registers). Given that... I would practice shuffling cards.

That will take my miles hunting hobby to a new high :-) I can try that next time.
Hopefully this is only specific to that WMT.

The multiple loads will give you away.
