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:

I find the app wonky at times so it can mean one or the other, or both. If I get that message, I just switch to another app account and if I still get the same message, I take it to mean I have reached the limit for that payee. If switching app accounts does not work, I try phone look up and if the message appears on cashier's screen that such account cannot be paid at this time blah blah blah, I just let days pass and try again.

Tried doing a MG BP. Different “from” account, different CC payment, and per CSR got the message “Unable to complete this transaction for consumer protection.”

Can I pay my citi card with Walmart bill pay using cash to fund it?
is this frowned upon by citi?
i have more cash than I like to be carrying around while working out of town and it would be easier for me to go to Walmart than the bank.

please advise.
Also do you just give Walmart your citi account number and they can process the payment?

Why wouldn't you be able to pay your bill with cash? Do you think WM only accepts gift cards for payment or something?

Well you can’t pay a citi card with cash at Citibank. Only with a citi atm so I wasn’t sure if they would block this since they seem to be anti cash for paying cc bill.

so what do I need to bring to Walmart other than cash?
just the account number?

Your best bet is to download the WM app and set up the transaction in there. Take your phone (and your cash) to WM and scan the bar code on the WM terminal with your phone. The terminal will bring up your transaction and you can pay in cash.

I've seen a lot of shutdown points with Citi and walmart bill pay. But would anyone be willing to share any data points of what has worked long term for them? Under a certain number of transactions per month, $/transaction, $/month, never cycle limit, never exceed balance, have checking auto-pay too?

I'm just a singles hitter (minor leagues at best), but this would be helpful to me.

you need to use a debit card, BBs are NOT debit cards even though they have a pin.
