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.

So I tried to BP today at a Wal-Mart using the old, monochrome POS system and ran into a glitch. After my first debit swipe, entered pin, cashier did $500 then debit, all would process correctly, but then the amount would show $1500 for a split second then a "processing, please wait" message would appear. Nothing I could do on the terminal or nothing the cashier did would clear the message. We started over after manager override voided the transaction, but this time the message appeared again after I got it down to $1000. Never seen this before, anyone else have or know a way around it?

I had seen those posts but didn't know they were the same issue. New POS at a different Wal-Mart worked fine for split payment.

So the best buy credit card used to be handled by Chase? I guess that changed because now it's Citi.

I think it is just a system glitch. I've done about a dozen BP in the past week, and, in two cases, I got the Processing, Please Wait, which could only be bypassed by voiding the transaction. On next attempt after voided trasnaction (different register), it has gone through.

My txn had to be voided out by a CSM, just used DL instead so I could get out of there vs wait for voiding etc.

I'm new to US Buxx (but not MS). Are USBuxx easier to buy MOs with or will (or is your comment specific to WM) I have the same probs I have with any other gift card-- most MO retailers in my area are either all cash or if not, debit/gift cards fail on swipe.

Not sure why you're asking this in this thread since this thread is about BP. But why don't you just BP the CC you used to load Buxx with your Buxx card? Avoid the extra step and just pay it back directly.
