There is a new thread on this topic for 2017. It is here.
As always, YMMV from store to store and cashier to cashier.
Any product affiliated with InComm or ITC Financial Services(like Vanilla VISA, Vanilla MC, and OneVanilla VISA) will not work for swiped-PIN transactions exceeding $49.99.
NO variety or design of VISA or MC Gebit's auto-drain at Walmart.
You cannot successfully swipe more than 4 cards in a single transaction.
Before you swipe, the cashier needs to know how much you want removed from each and every Gebit because they need to type in that amount. Of course, the Gebit must have a current balance of that amount or more otherwise you will get Error 51.
Very few Kate's can sell money orders anymore.

I'd imagine there are a good number of MS folks using that specific WMT MC for $2K worth of MOs from time to time - it's hard to believe that Money Gram would raise a flag for a few $2K sales driven by one customer. MO purchases are random so they of course do not know how many of the $2K transactions they see are unique to any one person.
I regularly buy $2K worth of MOs at my local WMT and have never had an issue (knocks on wood) but I don't think this area is nearly as active as some in terms of MS/liquidation, etc.

The poster got that little chat from the manager is not a random act. The manager is alert by someone possibly in the Cash Receivable dept, who is having a keen eye on the daily report and feels this should be brought to the management's attention.

I was at walmart last week buying my usual 2k in money orders and was told that they would not allow split tender transactions soon. Has anybody encountered this limitation yet?

Usually, when I buy MO at WM (always around $2k total per visit), they print the MO with the amount and give it to me. I can fill out payee and payor information at my leisure.
This weekend, however, the WM cashier wanted me to fill out the MO payee line, there at the counter. I'm not sure if she copied the name before giving it back to me, or not.
Any similar experiences on this front?

I tried to buy MO with ST debit card and was denied. I can buy MO at Kroger. Wonder if WT is coded to deny ST debit card?

Just had a problem today with a VGC > MO transaction (error 51), but it's possible the new clerk wasn't hitting the right buttons.
There's no record of a debit from the VGC website.

Am I overlooking something, or is Walmart about the only place in town that allows MO purchase via a debit card? All of my grocery stores are cash only. I feel awkward hitting the WM Money Center counter all the time, as neither of my WM's have Kiosks.
