THIS IS A WIKI TO AN OLD THREAD THAT IS NO LONGER BEING MAINTAINED!
This is a new thread for 2017. The previous discussion can be found here.
The new thread for 2018 is here.
DETAILS:
Bill Pay cannot be done at a regular register. BP must be done at Customer Service/Returns or at the Money Center in stores that have it.
WM offers two BP services: CheckFreePAY and MoneyGram. The cashier can initiate CheckFreePAY by selecting Money Services followed by Bill Pay on the register for a fee of $1-1.88. Moneygram is $4.99.
ONLY 4 successful debit card swipes can pay for a transaction. ONLY 5 payments per 16 digit account number per rolling 30 days.
CheckFreePay (800) 676-6148. - Look up payments using CC number and time of transaction
Standard BP- Once your CFP account is set up, you can add CC. When you want to BP give them your phone# to look up your account under Money Services. They often get confused and think you want MG, but just say it is under Money Services. Make sure you get 2 receipts, one from WM and a small one from CFP showing the CC# and Biller name you paid.
WM App - The Money Services works in express lane for BP, but has issues making 2 or more payments in a row. Make one BP, then come back or do another trans, then another BP to avoid issues. Make sure you get a BP receipt in the app and it shows the BP info and the CC you paid before leaving the store.
Some tips: If you don't get a receipt and they have to print you one, make sure the CC you paid appears on the printed receipt. If not on receipt, call CFP with the manager to verify there is no payment processing. They can cancel any transactions and pay you in cash right away. If they cancel the transaction and their cash drawer opens, that means they should pay you in cash, if it doesn't open, the money will probably return to your cards. Not sure what happens on the same day? Watch their drawer when they cancel the transaction to see if it opens. If they say the money will return to your DC, make sure to write down the managers name in case it doesn't.
BUSINESS DAY transaction completion time is 18:59:59 EST (Holidays change post day)

If your particular card isn't on the list below, try "VISA" or "MASTERCARD."
"VISA" and "MASTERCARD" payee can no longer be found by search at some stores. If the employee can no longer find "VISA" or "MASTERCARD" by searching in CheckFreePAY, then you cannot pay either, end of story.

I haven't tried, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. There is one caveat though. Before you create the payment in the app, you have to select a "home store" where you'll be finishing the transaction. Additionally you have to execute the transaction at the MC/CS counter within 24 hours of creating the payment in the app.

I tried this yesterday for Barclaycard. The interaction went smoothly, but I didn't want to test my luck on my first try so I went with one swipe and three day delivery so, $499 BP and $1 fee. Luckily for me the swipe terminal at my local WM MC is below the counter, so the CSR didn't see the giant "THANK YOU" on my SMGC, lol

FWIW -- Clerk at WM told me that max number of e-receipts stored in app is 6. Receipts in excess of this number fall off, presumably in date order. Note also that receipt can be be emailed, texted, etc. with "share" button (IOS).

Aha! Thanks! I had one that "fell off" in the app and was starting to worry it wasn't going to be paid!

Maybe mentioned upthread, but -- The first time you use the app, you have to show ID and clerk confirms it against what you entered into the app.

My wally girl loved me today, she was like WOW, she didn't do anything the entire time, just checked my ID and CC, anyways, i already have 5 more payments for tomorrow, let see how it goes, also one thing that she asked me was, can you do the same for MO?, i have a guy coming for 30+ (1K) MO every week lol (in my wally if you do the form you can go over 10K no questions ask), i would like to meet the guy/girl for sure, i will buy a him/her a lunch, i thought i was doing a lot (20K a month) but 120K MO a month is definitely major league game ^
Thanks guys, let have fun while it lasts

If you can't find a credit card MC or VISA payee in the system (I'm talking about the app), is there a way to request that it be added? Or is using MC or VISA when setting up payment the way to go? When trying to use the generic "Mastercard" or "Visa", I'm getting an "Oops, system problems" error message.)
