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.

It's a shame, though, because paying your Citibusiness card bill fee-free from your home telephone is, of course, the easiest!

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?

1 card per transaction
my walmart is seriously enforcing the 1 card per transaction for MO, Bluebird, and bill pay now. And only this single store in the area, all other stores nearby are fine with the 4 swipes. so sad, more drive needed to get it done now.

It Could be worse. Yesterday I was told no gift cards. And she demanded to see the card before I swiped it.

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?

Required (good) manager attention, who restarted the pin pad.

I hit two WMs today and no problem with BP, MO and BB load. Yes, I agree that the window we have is starting to close.

Once in DC I was asked for ID to match my name for BP.
Often then not debit cards are required to have my name on it and sometimes they ask for ID as well. I live in densely MS populated area.
(I had episode, when manager of money center said that the system is down /which was rather true/ and no MO/BB/MoneyGram for the rest of the day to the line. And 4 (four) people just left the line after that! I'm positive they were MSers - I saw one many times, another was together with him. OMG).
Other WMs have no split cashier enforced policies in addition to the above.

I had one WM in Connecticut tell me that splitting a transaction to use multiple debit cards is "structuring". I'm not sure how correct that is.
