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.

Rather than focusing on "old" VS "new", "different software versions" might be a better way to phrase it. And from April 2013 until now, quite a few stores use a software version that does not allow cash to be added at the very end of CFP transaction, forcing a manager to cancel the transaction with a Key.

So I attempted a $1998 checkfreepay at a Kroger (seems like exact same situation as WMBP except fee is $2.00 for Visa Next day). It was a failed attempt as the CSR said no GC's after I made my first swipe. He did let me do the first swipe and it was approved and then he got suspicious and asked to see the cards. So I said Just void the whole thing and he said he did and I left.
That was on Wednesday night. Late last night I saw a $1998 payment come through in my WF online account. Did the payment somehow go through even though I didn't actually pay for it? Or shall it be returned eventually and WF will assess a return payment fee?
Thoughts?
Thanks.

So someone went and added to the Wiki that you can't add cash at the end unless your Walmart is programmed differently? LOL. You're assuming that one way is more prevalent (no cash) is more common that the other but I haven't seen proof of that. There are lots of posts throughout this thread of both ways. Just because your store doesn't do it, doesn't mean that a lot of other stores don't. I would say it's similar to how some stores still have Visa/Mastercard and others don't. However, this goes back further than that change.

VGC rejected for BP
I tried to use a U.S. Bank Visa gift card to do a capital one bill pay, but it got rejected by the sytem saying "tender not allowed. It also wouldnt let me buy a money order. Could it be just that particular walmart or have they changed something recently? Any tips or advice greatly appreciated! Thanks!

new to the game...
so according to the wiki, all Visa/Mastercard cannot be paid in most walmarts anymore? Or there are some that can be paid if searching using their bank names? (The wiki is not very clear about that)
I also wonder why people do not pay mortgage directly, which seems easier to me. Is there any particular reason?
thanks.

The reason not to pay your mortgage directly is because that just ties up your money, it doesn't allow you to cycle it again.

Basically. Your Barclay card is likely a visa or a mastercard, so just use ask for the appropriate one.

Very new here just looking for some assistance. I went to Walmart today and tried to pay my Chase Slate, and Chase Freedom card with a Visa Gift Card the person at the register searched Chase, Chase Slate, Chase Freedom but all that showed up was Chase Mortgage, Chase Card Services similar to that. I put my account numbers in and nothing worked, I feel as if he and I had no idea what we were doing so I was just looking for some insight am I searching for the wrong thing? Or doing another step wrong? Any information would help and I apologize if I missed something obvious.
