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
Friday after 06:59PM EST, until Monday BEFORE 07:00PM EST arrives Tuesday
Tuesday BEFORE 7:00PM arrives Wednesday
Wednesday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Thursday
Thursday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Friday
Friday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Monday
But when a next-day payment will post and be visible depends upon the CC issuer.

--------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea what type of transactions can do split payments? She was sure some transactions they do allow split payments because she'd done them before. But, of course, she couldn't remember which. Maybe she was just thinking a regular sale of an item. I don't see any mention of money orders, etc.

I asked at Kmart earlier this week if you can buy money orders with debit card. They said no to that but yes to BillPay. I planned to call back to ask someone else but as far as your question, it would seem like split payments are only for regular sales.

I haven't done this yet but I spoke by phone w/my local Kmart today and was told:
MO- Cash only
BP-- Cash or Debit card, $1.50 charge. I asked if I could pay CC bill and he said, "Let me check, we just upgraded our whole system." He came back and said, "Yes" and then he said he *could* split tender. I'm in CA. I don't currently have any cards I need to unload (buying them is almost harder than draining them). I'll report back if I decide to proceed.

Anyone else seeing the OneVanilla network down & OV cards unusable at non-WM MO/BP spots? Is there an outage?

Where are you trying to use them? Maybe the WM disease is spreading re MO and BP.

I was declined at two locations earlier today using OV. Could have been an outage as I was approved at different locations--same store--later in the day.

Yes, I did have this issue as well. Staying far far away from OVs and VGCs.

They aren't talking about WM.

Apparently OVs weren't working anywhere for a couple hours today.
