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.

Question: Does Walmart in Canada do this? And is it the same cost?

Make sure you swipe and hit the cancel button before the cashier enters the amount. If he/she enters the amount before you swipe, then you're not given the option to hit the cancel button.

Maybe, but recently they've been filling out a "Service Activity Report". Hit up a different one I've never been to before today. Didn't fill out the form with all the money orders but did fill out the "Service Activity Report"

Yes you are correct. Procedure has changed.
Thanks.

Went to three wally marts tonight and all refused to use Simon Mall Gift cards - asking me if I had a real Debit card - saying to me they can no longer accept gift cards..

Mid - Florida locations

Going to Tampa tomorrow I will try there

Thanks for the data point for central(?) FL. Same grocery stores in South FL are close to the WM fail rate (95+%).

I actually am not. I have never been to Iowa, and I never mentioned anything about any specific state in this thread.

Not likely as I have been doing this for Many Years. Story hasn't changed at all during Those Years.

as of yesterday, they worked at Kate for reloading prepaid so they'd do the same for MOs at CS or MC.
