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.

I'm in the Memphis area and I'm able to pay all my normal Citi Visa and Mastercard bills. However, I'm not able to pay my Fidelity AMEX on 2 different occasions at 2 different stores (using "B of A Consumer Loans" as per the Wiki).
Would really like to pick up those extra SkyPesos with my ST account:
2.25% on TCB (when available) for AGC
2% of Fidelity AMEX
1.5% SkyPesos (my valuation)
(1%) to liquidate AGC to BB (through WM Sunrise cards)
Net 4.75% per month ... sure beats the bank.
Maybe I'll switch to my Fidelity Visa (which requires $15K in annual spending for the 2% to kick in) and see if WM BP works.

I dont typically do BP, so Ive only done it once (maybe twice?). I dont really have any future plans to do it again either. I have no idea how she did it, or even if she could do it again, let alone explain to me how she did it lol. I asked her if it could be done she goes "i dont know lets try something" pressed a bunch of things, scratched her head, pressed some more, typed in some codes, and voila. No idea what happened, she was a manager though, and can override things, maybe that helped? I really have no idea, I really only tried it because I was doing other kmart deals at the time, and now that that avenue is dead I probably will never step back into another kmart. ETA: If it wasnt a few months back, Id go find the receipt and see if I could deem any further knowledge, but an hour of my time isnt really worth it. Maybe she messed something up and it did something weird, I really dont know.

Kmart Visa bill pay still works
I am in Virginia. The local Walmart is toast, but KMart worked for me. I really do not want to go the MO route. Bill Pay is my favorite.

Both "Visa" and "MasterCard" worked fine for me at Walmart in the Philly area today.

Neither Visa nor Mastercard worked last night at my Dallas area Neighborhood Market. Tried Chase - Best Buy as well, but that was no longer an option either. There was an option for "Chase - Cardmember Service" but it failed to recognize my account number. Will try another store this weekend.

YMMV. Works at my Walmarts (including the NM)... If not, there is always Kroger for an extra $1 and the phone call to register the PIN.
