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:

Any and all Vanilla VISA, Vanilla MC, and OneVanilla VISA.

I'm just a singles hitter (minor leagues at best), but this would be helpful to me.
I've been doing 5 BP per month to discover or non chase visa's for 2.5 years now and have done ~8 Amex per month on top of that until the recent restrictions. I don't really think that BPs are a clear trigger, it is much more complex than that.

I tried that at 2 Walmarts. None seem to know how to get the barcode thing up. I always have to give my phone number. What am I missing?

Tried today to BP Visa using gc.com visas. Did it before numerous times. Swiped many times - "debit not available code 05" or "code 14". CSR is knowledgable.

Anybody had any troubles with BP recently?

UPDATE: false alarm. For some reason, my cards were acting like there were not active. I reactivated them and it worked. I usually activate them right away after receiving. I don't know what happened.

App now requires signature. No longer do the signature at the store, just confirm the amount and pay.

Thanks! still not working in my store, which is the only one that let me use visa gift card to do bill payment. It is strange that the store does not know when it will be back.

there are some stores that say the bp doesn’t work bc they don’t want to use it. I know of at least two stores that say it doesn’t work when it does work

I have a store where some CSR sabotage the transaction. Not sure what they do but they make it fail. They don't like BP at that store, but their MO machine is always down.

I've had this happen to me. A manager saw what was going on and jumped in and did the transaction for me.

Seems like there was a problem with BPs from 3/20. I did one on that date but it didn't get delivered this morning (3/22). I called CheckFree BP and they said there was a problem with BPs made on 3/20 "especially Visa payments". Was told those payments would instead be delivered by today.

Wanted to give others a heads up in case they did not see those 3/20 payments post yet.
