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)

Tuesday BEFORE 7:00PM arrives Wednesday
Wednesday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Thursday

Friday BEFORE 07:00PM arrives Monday
But when a next-day payment will post and be visible depends upon the CC issuer.

I think it just changed the number and not the ID type ( PP or DL).
So each ID type and ID Number combination gives you 8k of BP. It simply took the Passport as ID type and your DL # as a set of new id combination.
Next time iam just going to show my PP # to CSR.

I think the 8K is per WM account so I don't think changing from DL to PP works. I tried to make my 5th 2k payment on my new account and is stalled. I had used it with my DL twice and my PP twice.
I will try my old DL account on the 18th.

I did a check free bill pay for $1,998.50 yesterday and bought two money orders for the magical sum like $999.13 and $999.11. The agent was surprised to see a new screen for the money orders and she had to enter my Drivers License information. She did not ask for my Social Security number, although it was closing time and she might have just skipped that field. But hopefully it is just a Know Your Customer form like Kroger had when you swipe a credit card instead of using the chip. I will see if the same thing happens for money orders. totaling $1,000 instead of $2,000.
Does anyone know the answer to the really big question yet. If a person has five credit cards listed under the same phone number with Check Free Bill Pay, will the $8,000 per 30 Days limit be imposed on a credit card by credit card basis, or by the phone number?
If the limit is by phone number, I wonder if the system will notice if that same credit card becomes listed under a new phone number, such as a work phone number?

I had no luck switching between ID types today. I did try the bill pay in an account that I had already done many bill pays in, but with a different ID and to an account that I have only done 1 BP to. I will make a new account and try again tonight.

So for what you did you created two different accounts but with two same name , addresses, phone #, etc and what made the difference was the first time presenting ID/PP when you make the first payment? I'm going to try this to see if it works

i think with 4 accounts ( new email and phone # ) and 2 ids ( PP and DL) , you can make 4 * 8 k = 32k of payments with the following combinations
Accnt 1 = DL id type and DL #
Account 2 = DL Id type and PP #
Account 3 = PP as ID Type and PP #
Account 4 = PP as ID type and DL #
Make sure you set up the information as it is in the app and give the same to the CSR first time. if u have more additional form of IDs, go create some extra accnts and combinations
I am not going to follow the above , by giving wrong id type / and # information , we may get into trouble.

Accnt 1 was my main account where i have done , more than 8 k in the oct month. Account 4 was the newly created where i entered PP as Id type and PP# in the app, whereas to CSR i gave my DL while making the payment and it was successful . The account also has PP as ID type and old DL # . So accnt 1 and 4 has worked .
Since 1 and 4 has worked has 2 diff accnts , i hope 2 and 3 also will work
