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)

Did someone else's bill pay not post that was supposed to post yesterday. I made 2 citi card payments on Monday morning with 1.88$ - one business day payment and it almost always will post on Tuesday night (sometimes wednesday early morning).
However, I am thinking maybe because Monday was Columbus day I should not count that day and it will post sometime tonight or early tomorrow.

For things like BB&T car loan and Amex CC, they use a separate BP through Moneygram. It's a $5 flat fee but it is next day. Kind of expensive but if I can do 3 or 4 swipes, it may be worth it.

I think the annoying part is having them try to find the company. I wish there was a way to search in advance. When I use my banks billpay and search, my mortgage company and Paypal extras credit card show right away but when I go to Walmart, they can't find it.

If there was a way to get list of billers, it could be worth it, given the multiplier from gebit purchase.

Stopping Someone From Ruining it For All
I am friends with my Walmart CSR. She is very accommodating and helpful and I have been working with her for years. She told me someone came in and did 30 Bill Pay transactions to the same card that took her 1.5 hours of time. She was really nervous about it. Any advice on how to empower her to shut this person down without ruining it for everyone. There are almost no other Walmart's that will allow Bill Pay in my area. It would be a killer if a Manager noticed people taking advantage of this CSR and put a halt to it. Appreciate thoughts. I hope the situation takes care of itself with the card issuer shutting down this person's account.

If there’s no line and no other customers, perhaps there’s no issue. IF he’s doing that while holding other people up, I’d suggest she tell him he could do two transactions (or whatever seems reasonable) and then go to the back of the line. That was my policy when I used to spend a lot of time at WMT. Some of the CSRs were surprised when they’d see me a few minutes later, but i think it built good will since they now welcome me and know I won’t be “that guy.”

Ugh. That sounds like a terrible situation. The CSR must be mistaken about it being the same card, however, as their CFP system won’t permit more than five payments (of any amount) to the same card in a rolling 30 day period. Now, if he was instead doing that many payments via MoneyGram and paying those steep fees, it’s possible there may not be a limit. Those transactions should at least be more profitable to WMT.
If there’s no line and no other customers, perhaps there’s no issue. IF he’s doing that while holding other people up, I’d suggest she tell him he could do two transactions (or whatever seems reasonable) and then go to the back of the line.

Walmart Bill Pay is available through Express Money services in App. You can search for all the available billers through the app. Fill the card details , go to the store and scan the QR code and pay using gebit as usual.
It was easy and quick and receipts are digital. No papers and easy tracking.

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
