This is a new thread for 2018. The previous discussion can be found here.

As of Nov 11, 2020, Meta gebits are getting declined when used for MO/BP purchases at MC/SD. New limit appears to be $99 per swipe. READ the posts below and add a data point with details. USB and GD gift cards do not seem to be affected.

DETAILS:
As of Dec 2019, WM BP in-store is reportedly affected by the $8000 total limit across all cards.
As of Nov 1, 2018, WM Billpay made via the WM app is limited to a total of $8000 total per person to all accounts per rolling 30 days.

Sep 13 2021 : If WM App is updated with no money services , then use the following for Android phone to get the working version.


https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type...ge=1&s=walmart
My working version is 21.12 (21120123)
Fyr : https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/0...n-app-android/

This workaround no longer works.

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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BP by phone number lookup- 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 Bill Pay.

Receipt 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.

Payments:
Most cc can be paid 5 times by Visa/MC and 5 times by the issuing bank in rolling 30 days with a total of 10. There might be an 8K limit per rolling 30 days starting Oct 2018.

BUSINESS DAY transaction completion time is 18:59:59 EST (Holidays change post day)

Friday after 06:59PM EST, until Monday BEFORE 07:00PM EST arrives Tuesday
Tuesday BEFORE 7:00PM arrives Wednesday
Wednesday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Thursday
Thursday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Friday
Friday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Monday
But when a next-day payment will post and be visible depends upon the CC issuer.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Choose to pay by Visa/MC card issuer OR by issuing bank - see the 2 sections below.

:-:VISA and MC - card issuer-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Following do not work:

4/23 Payments Posted (I think)

I had trouble getting a straight answer/story from them, which I hate. If you foul up, admit it. Anyway, it's midnight Eastern time now, it just became May 1. I made 4 payments on 4/23. I'm pretty sure that two have posted. Hopefully I'll see the others in the morning.

Has anyone had this happen? I did a BillPay today using 4 GCM GCs. The last transaction went through as credit. On the receipt, it says debit, debit, debit and then Visa. I had to sign a receipt at the end of the transaction.

Same thing happened to me today with a manual non-app payment. Chelski, I'm not seeing the post you're referring to.

It has happened to me several times, and always on the last card. I assumed my CSR was pressing some wrong button. But even since it started it's happened less than 10% of the time.

Ran into this yesterday as well at 3 out of 5 WMs on my MS route. The whales and fraudsters are killing this hobby.

Anyone know how the rolling 30 days works -- does anytime on day 30 work, or does it need to be the exact time 30 days later (like if you did 8 PM on May 1, you'd need to wait until 8 PM on May 31).

Really, I get Paypal to work using MC. Thats very strange you can't get it to work. Any 3rd datapoint on paypal.

Is BBVA really only available in the following states?
Call Back Only Available in
Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, and Texas
I see other states listed in the terms and conditions. very odd...

I just got an EBates credit card from that old standard, Synchrony Bank. I was unable to pay the bill at WM. When I called, I found that it could not be paid via Checkfreepay but it could be paid via Moneygram. I asked for the 4-digit biller code and the CSR didn't give me one, he said something about "Look for Syncnhrony Bank Retail Credit Card."

Does anyone have insight on this. I think it will be about 20 times easier if I have the biller code. Has anyone paid Synchrony Bank at WM?

Did you really call the bank asking for this information?

Did you try to pay the card via "Visa" on CheckFree BillPay?

You can set it up via the WM app. I suggest you start there. That will give you a list of payers, too.
