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'd try a different Walmart. Worst case: drive to that target.

I think newuo is really MM in an alter ego pulling our chains. 
He will soon recap the whole drama in a new song. Maybe we should be helping him with a title for the new tune. !!??!!

Another post also mentioned that the cashier cannot press anything on their end until we enter the PIN. Was that what you experienced?

Sorry, If I panicked anyone here. My MS life was going smooth till now and all of a sudden this happened and I have no money to pay, so got scared a bit. In life all things will not go as we expect and we need to take this. Anyhow lessons learned. Thanks all again for suggestions.

Unsuccessful BB load at WM Kiosk
Just got back from my local WM where I was able to successfully load my BB with OV earlier this week using the Kiosk. Today however, after going through the entire transaction at the Kiosk, I received an error message at the end with a receipt that says 'Debit not approved. Call Authorizer'.
I then tried my luck with a human at the Money Center and he said the OV card was going through as credit and not debit.
Frustrated, I left and came home to check this thread....hope this a short term glitch and not something permanent.
