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.

Loaded SMGC today as well with no issue to Bluebird at Kate. Seems it's still a go and the poster a page back was more than likely experiencing an isolated incident.

I was unable to load my BB at Kate with a meta visa card today. It said card not allowed. Either meta is not working, or BB monthly load hasn't reset for some reason.

Thanks. I'll try a different walmart. The Kate at this one sometimes acts weird, so hopefully that is all it was.

Why not just go to a cashier...you will probably spend more time driving to a different WM.

I'm pretty sure he posted the picture to say that he was using acronyms to avoid spoon feeding, rather than taking a shot at anyone. I'm probably wrong though.

Can any one verify the monthly load limit? I noticed that loading limit at walmart daily changed to 1999.99?

Ironically, the mere posting of the loads is the epitome of spoon feeding, so that would be a fail.

Yup - that's why I posted the picture... flagging that I was spoonfeeding.

Though, true spoonfeeding would have included details on where, how, where to park, what to wear, arrows, circles, etc.

My nearest WM won't let me load @ regular registers. It started several months ago. It's not blocked by cashiers but registers won't allow. @ other WMs near me let me do it.
