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:

If that is true, that is a big game changer for me.

Wm limits

My experience has been as follows:

​​​​Limit for checkfreebillpay if initiated at store not app has been 5 transactions per 30 day period PER credit card account up to a total of $10k. (I currently have 3 cards that I pay each month, 5x each.) I have only been able to do $2k per transaction as anything higher tossed the transaction limit error.

Limit for moneygram pay has been $8k across ALL credit card accounts.

Mr. Oblivious here -- I have not done billpay in a while. Has WM done away with the "Express Lane" concept for BP-by-app customers?

It still kind of exists. IME there is rarely an actual dedicated line, but if you get in the "Express Lane" they will call you and let you skip the line.

I could use that by making one of my daily transactions an app-based if the line is long, but I don't do that. I'd rather stay on good terms with the CSR's and show I'm willing to wait my turn, rather than seeming like a primma donna.

I wish they had an express lane for money orders so they don’t have to key in my DL#.

Newbie question. This is first time I am paying bill over $600. I have 2 $500 card. But, neither card going through. No auto drain? Need cashier do anything? Neither of us has any experience.

Apologies if this in the wrong thread, but reading through this thread I had a question. I understand the focus of the thread is using WMBP to pay certain CC's. However, I see that my mortgage company is listed as a payee in the app. Is there any reason not to get the $25k or so a year of MS I could get by paying my mortgage this way?

Always let the clerk know how much to enter into register for each card. Certain gcs do not work.

Paying your mortgage is a good idea.

paying your mortgage isn’t ms. Reread the threads for noobs.

No reason not to. But do a test payment before you jump in with both feet. Try making a small payment in addition to your regular payment and see if it posts.

can we billpay a bank debit card, so the payment gets deposited to the checking account directly?

Wayback when someone tried that and it didn't work (I believe it was unauthorized account or something)
