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.

My friendly wal-mart store told me that Moneygram has called them and asked not to allow more than 1 card per transaction.
I would call it BS but these employees and supervisor have been friendly and never cared. Every MC employee was told about it and the supervisor was sorry that it changed. I don't think it was a system issue, just a policy enforcement.

The ones who have been able to do a split for billpay... How many splits did you do? I tried the method of first swiping and then split and amount and see it works. But the terminal on customer side hangs after 2 swipes... Did twice and the same thing happened... They had to call a manager to cancel transaction...
Did they change the policy to 2 splits?
Anyone else have any experience regarding this?

Since I haven't heard about Ink+ Visa using Best Buy - Chase was successful or not, I went ahead and did it. Finally the transactions posted.

Another issue splitting billpay
Hopefully this is not another system change being rolled out and was just a CSR that didn't know what she was doing. I'd really like to know what button they push after I've swiped so I can "train" them!

My wife called Citi today to pay our Citibusiness card account with her Buxx debit card. She's an employee of my "business" and has an employee card. Citi said they couldn't take the payment because their system automatically populates the name field with my name and the transaction won't go through. (BTW, this is apparently different from a personal card, where an authorized user can make a telephone debit card payment).
So I'm guessing my easiest alternative is to drag my wife down to Walmart and do the transaction via billpay. I assume others have successfully paid Citi Business cards via billpay even if they are only an "employee" on the account? I presume Citi knows what to do with the money when it is "wired" to the account?
