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)

I don't have that. I have "Express Money Services", but that's what I was already in.
The booklet says when you get to the Money Center, open the app, and "on the main page will be an alert box telling you there's a transaction waiting".
I had no alert box, which is why I asked how does the app know you've arrived at the Money Center to post the alert box ?

When I go into the store, there usually is a box of Walmart services available such as Walmart Pay, In-Store Pickup Checkin, Etc. I just click "Services" which brings all the options up. I'm using an iPhone.
What do you mean by a "transaction waiting"?

But anyway, it worked like a charm Friday. Cashier said she had never done an Express bill pay, only the money transfer. I said me neither.
I got the alert box that said I had a transaction waiting, when I tapped that at the counter, up popped an orange bar that said 'scan QR', and after I did, instantly the cashier said "It's all filled in!" I just laughed. Paid, checked I got the receipt, and left.
I don't know what went wrong the first time.

It has to. I'm still curious about this, how the app knows you (it) has arrived at the Money Center. I had already setup the payment and it said the amount would be confirmed when I got to the store. When I left the house there was no alert box, but after I entered the store, up popped the alert box saying I had a transaction waiting. I was on the data connection from my carrier, not the store WiFi. Bluetooth was off, although likely too far away for that anyway.

I had the same issue yesterday. Is it a new way to reduce velocity of payments?

They logged off, and logged in on same terminal same issue.
CSR Logged in to another terminal, same issue.
There must be like a 5 minute BP limit of some sort, at least in my case/location.

Exactly the same. She logged off/on a few times - didn't help. So we had to do a BP in the old way.
