As of 6/19/2014, Walmart does not accept debit transactions above $49.99 from cards issued by Bancorp, namely Vanilla Visas (OV, VGC, etc.). Attempts result in "Alternate Tender Required," "Debit Not Available," and/or some other error message, at both registers and the Money Center Express (MCE, kiosk, Kate, ATM).

There is no workaround.

I know for BP and MO, what about loading BB?

Edit: Nevermind, you said loading at Kate. Anyone tried cash register?

What type of GCs were you using? I was using OVs.

Neither Kate, nor MoneyCenter were working for me either today.
Cards were $500 VGC 35-series, which worked at the grocery store later on.

I had issues with 2 cards out of 8. Used them back at the same machine 2 hours later and worked fine. Want to say the issue was at around noon eastern.

I don't think the sky is falling. Those machine are finicky and it sounds like they failed for many of us at lunch time today. That's all.

Went to load bb, serve, BP. All failed. Done a million times. Alternative payment method required. Tried multiple OV cards. Multiple registers. These agents are as surprised as me. They see me often. Anyone else?

When did you try this? Just now? Curious since I was able to load 3 hours ago.

Just tried OV at money center that worked 3 hours ago... No go now. Was able to load meta bank though.

MCs still working with workaround?
