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.

Ive never had to say anything more than hi I'd like to load my BB cards. I use only the MC and in my area they all know me and they all know that one can only load BB with a debit card so nothing is ever verbalized. I just hold the stack of GC's in one hand and the BB's in the other. I give them the bluebird card to swipe so they have something to look at and keep them occupied and after it asks me to confirm the load amount I pull out my GC and swipe away. Never had an issue and never had any nosy associates ask questions.
Just for the record as I have not been to WM since the outage yesterday, Loading BB with a Debit card still works at WM?

I've had a WM ask to see my BB. I guess folks have BB in many names and they don't like that. I've not been asked for my debit card, and I hope it stays that way.

Would it be a bad idea to get $2K MO and pay $2K billpay in one trip?

Yeah that is consistent with my experience. The moneycenter employees almost always refuse to load from a debit card that doesn't have my name on it, but the regular cashiers rarely ask or even notice.

I usually 2 to 4 BPs for $2495 at WM in 1 trip. They don't mind at all. Sometimes I even pick 1 or 4 MOs in the same trip. Of course, this is dependent on customer lines. I will not hold up a line to do multiple BPs and MOs. I do 2 and then get back in line.
Of course, this is all dependent on you WM.

Turned Down for WM Bill Pay
Got denied for WMBP yesterday. As soon as the Money Store woman saw my OV cards, she immediately said "you can't do BP with those". It being the first I'd heard of that, and having had recent success with other local WMs, I asked for a manager. She said it was a one store policy, started "sometime this year", because "there was some sort of problem with those cards". Sigh....
I'm off now to several WMs to BP all of the OVs my wife and I have gotten the last few days, since my second AA Elite MC is due this afternoon. As much as I want to get it charged up before the statement closes, I really, really don't want to end up holding $20K in OVs that I can't do BP with.
