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 doesn't matter who issues the card. The card could be an Elmer Fudd Rewards American Express, issued by the Third National Saving and Loan Bank of Looney Tunes. Send the payment to American Express.

OK maybe I mis-understood you. But I'm not worrying about police. I just don't want to waste time to dirve to WM and be turned away (because of wrong payee name). If You are willing to share your information, and save me half hour, Thanks! Otherwise, there is really no point arguing more.

I reported that "Chase card service" does NOT work for Ink Bold and "MasterCard" went through. What have you contributed so far?
Again keep that "secret" to yourself if you think you spend money and time to uncover it. No one is forcing you to do anything.
If no one has done it before, I will try and report what I find.

If you think sharing of information is "spoon fed" then why do you come here? Looking to be "spoon fed"?

If you are having trouble, tell the cashier CheckFreePay, CheckFreePay, CheckFreePay you may have to keep saying it cause most are not trained for this. A few try to swipe my amex spg and I just hit my forehead, I have resorted to keeping a receipt of a transaction that worked so I can show them if they refuse.
I think I am less than 50% success, because they don't know how to process the transaction.

Maybe it's the update of the terminals, but I've found very different results trying billpay at WMs in different states. I had assumed it was that the stores have different rules in different jurisdictions.

Billpay at Walmart
Has anyone tried the following?
1. Purchase an expensive item say worth 1000$ on Credit Card A
2. Return it the next day to the same vendor without opening and get a refund on Credit Card B.
This, you meet the spend requirement on Credit Card A and the Bank of Credit Card B will send you a refund check at the end of the month (you may have to call them to issue refund immediately though)

Where is your contribution? Oh “just try it”, which contains zero, zilch, null information.
Enough said, I will report whether "American Express" works for Barclays AMEX when I go to the only "friendly" WM next time.
