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.

Confirmed that anything One Vanilla is no go even when successfully changing the payment method. Multiple failures using OVs from multiple retailers. Time to change our handles to KeyTurn96

Today at one of my most reliable walmarts, was told that no more split payments will be allowed because one person came and did a $2k BP where for the last swipe the cashier accidently pressed cash instead of debit and the payment completed without the guy paying the last $500 that was supposed to., and by the time the cashier realized the mistake the guy was gone from the store.

Here's an idea that admittedly might be drawing unwanted attention to oneself....
Call Vanilla (1-800-571-1376) and give a story how you were gifted a $200 gift card. Your read over the cardholder agreement and decided it would be best to use the windfall to pay off a credit card bill at Wal-Mart. My payment has been rejected. I feel embarrassed, etc....
Wal-Mart is currently suing VISA over swipe fees. I can't help but wonder how much of a one-sided move this is on their part. Perhaps someone besides us would be peeved about all of this if the right kind of attention is drawn to it.

Data Point
Tried 3 different OV - two 94 and one 96 rejection when trying to do Billpay.
Purchase bottle of water as debit with OV - works. Looks like WM POS or InComm is blocking the OV cards.
Tried both Metabank Visa and US Bank MC - both worked.

Sounds to me they found a way to block a certain type of transaction.

Well it's incredibly easy. Every card type/issuer can be identified by the bin number (first six digits of any card). You can buy an entire database of up-to-date bins for a few thousand dollars. All they have to do is block bins they don't like.
