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.

As of this a.m., both WMs I visited said that it was WMs policy not to accept any debit or gift card that did not have the person's name printed on it. They were quite clear that is was "federal regulation" (not saying they're right, but it's clearly what they've been told) and that it is to prevent money laundering. As much as I wish this was a glitch, I fear it's the end of GCs to BB. (And, if I had a way of only letting helpful posters read this, and block it from the "I got mine, you get yours, with no help from me" posters, I absolutely would. The purpose of FT is to be HELPFUL. For you pros who have benefitted a lot from these forms of MS, good for you; but saying "it was hard for me, it should be hard for you" is just plain selfish.)

The post I quoted referred to all USB cards not working..I asked if there were more than one person reporting that all USB were not working.
Why is that not germane to this thread?? Why jump out and criticize without thinking.
Try to add to the discussion.

You 100% can still load a BB with a VR but you cannot purchase a VR with a CC at CVS. You there for have to pay cash for the VR which is not a manufactured spend move. You also do not need WM as you can load your BB online via VR.

There was some speculation there is a Bancorp/incomm issue at wm/bb, not a debit issue.
