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)

Re: CFPB
Recall that the D.C. Circuit issued a split decision in October 2016, declaring the bureau’s single director structure unconstitutional and remedying that by making the bureau an executive agency, rather than an independent regulator, thus giving the president the authority to fire the CFPB director at will.
The CFPB quickly filed for an en banc review. Briefs have been submitted and oral arguments in the case are set for May 24.
The plaintiff continues to contend that there are such deep constitutional flaws that the courts cannot sufficiently reshape the bureau without going against congressional intent. Because of that, the only appropriate remedy for dealing with those flaws would be to eliminate the CFPB entirely (plaintiff says).
The case is PHH Corp. et al. v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, case number 15-1177, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Anyone dealt with this issue?
"The following card(s)/item cannot be activated (my GoBank Card number)
A refund for the card(s) is included in the change due to the customer.
This amount will be shown on your register as a negative amount."
My Gcs show 0 balance although load did not go through. Should I just wait or go back to WM and ask for the refund?
Thanks

After waiting for 10 days I called Electronic Payment Hotline and was informed that cashier was supposed to issue me $600 cash back which he failed to do. They called the store and arranged with Customer service manager to issue me $600 cash back the next day.

What Banks do you guys think are safer to Billpay at Walmart without getting shutdown and what type of volume?
I have been doing a little Discover to billpay the $1,500 per quarter, but would like to add some other bank so I don't have to deal with so many MOs and simple less make less trips.
I was thinking Barclay's or US Bank as I don't put much value on those relationships.
I remember from some thread that Chase and Citibank were bad news to bill pay, but maybe wrong or outdated. What about Bank of America?
Will certainly appreciate any informed feedback.

Has anyone paid the BBVA NBA card issued by Amex?
If so, what's the correct payment option in the Walmart system?

I was making a payment to my Chase Visa as usual on 04/29/17and all the payments ($500 x4) went through and also printed the first page of the receipt but did not print the 2nd page which actually spells out all the details. The Walmart money center rep told me that the payment is not made. It has been a week and the amount taken out of the debit card is not refunded to their respective cards nor the credit card payment is made. Called check free pay and they do not see any payment for that credit card on that date. I am going to Walmart to enquire about the status of this payment.
DO any of you had this issue before?. If so let me know how you resolved it?
