Does not work anymore, is dead..... what is the point to report 'not working'?
 As of 08/25/2014, Bancorp cards (Vanilla Visa, OneVanilla, etc.) are rarely working first try for debit transactions at Walmart. There is no apparent geographical basis. Basically, it's a crapshoot. Do not agitate a cashier or store and lose the ability to make these transactions in the future. Multiple failed swipes or transactions will likely increase scrutiny. You do not want that. It is best to stop using these cards. Vanilla VISA defaulting to credit As of 5/29/2014, at most Walmart locations, all Vanilla VISA cards issued by The Bancorp Bank are automatically recognized as credit. Most Mastercard have required a workaround for some time. The MoneyCenter Express (ATM, kiosk, Kate) is not affected by this change.

I presume she telling her to check my ID or something like that. I didn't wait to find out and just left the store.

Also, it's not wise to explain everything you do how you buy them at CVS to the WM employee as the person who saw you said. Just try not to stick out like a sore thumb is what people are saying.

I don't want the cashier who loaded my BB lose her job because of this...

I know some of the WM cashiers can be difficult to deal with, but I try to be nice to the ones who make it possible for me to continue to benefit from this game.
I had to go back and return $1k the other day.

Just because Walmart decided to implement some scheme (IMO) to fool the OV/Vanilla VGCs to show up as "credit" upon swipe is wrong. So no I don't think there is anything wrong with the workaround.
All your other mumbo jumbo about fraud is *yawn* because it is not. We all purchased these OV/VGCs with "legit" money so there is no funny business.

Dang. I hate to say this but they may have already fired the cashier.
