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 no idea. I can't see what they are doing and they can't get their heads around the idea of "partial payments."

Ask them if they know how to do a payment that's part cash and part debit. That's how 1 CSM explained it to a cashier I was having issues with.

And since the only two cards I've ever done WMBP split payments with are VR and OV, the fact that nothing in the bill pay system has changed in the last month doesn't tell me anything at all.
I asked a very reasonable question: we had to change our bill pay sequence to get OV cards to work. Now that they don't work anymore, when using non-OV cards for split payments, do we use the "new" sequence developed for OV, or the previous sequence? I'm guessing the answer is the "new" sequence, but was just looking for someone with experience to take 30 seconds to confirm that's correct.

OV cards no longer working for WMBP is a change, and having to find out what cards do still work, and where I can buy them with a CC, is a pain.

She called over a manager, who told me in no uncertain terms "you can't do that here". I thought she meant a new store policy, but no she said "WM doesn't allow it".
.......
He didn't know the new policy, but he was willing to follow my (printed out} instructions, as I read them to him, step by step, and was clearly pleased when it worked

Thanks. I know some people have had problems with that, but it was probably operator error by a clueless cashier. I'll give that a try.
