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.

Anyone ever paid the Ebates Visa offered by Synchrony? I can't seem to get the app to work for either Visa or Synchrony. Got an error when I tried in store. I figured it would work since the Wal Mart credit card is also offered through Synchrony.

It was not in the Bill Pay system when I tried.

FWIW & IMHO -- I have decided that WM BP presents an unacceptable (to me) risk of shutdown by CC issuers. Among other things, it seems to trigger an "unknown source of funds for payment" concern.

I do bill pay through a few different walmarts around my area. This specific walmart near my house has a very friendly CSR (referred to below as FCSR). Something has happened last 2 times that has me a little bit concerned.

Last week when i showed up at the money center, she typed a bunch of stuff after i gave the phone number. payment went through.

Today, when i showed up, she was helping someone else and asked another CSR to help me. When I gave CSR my phone number, she saw something on the screen that perplexed her. FCSR (who was watching from next counter right next to her) took over and typed bunch of stuff again and then handed it back to the CSR who finished off the transaction.

I asked FCSR if there was any problem and she said that "since system upgrade various transactions are triggered" blah blah. I asked CSR (after FCSR helped her and left) what the issue was and CSR said info was not pulling up.

Are they doing some kind of suspicious transaction report or something? When doing billpay from 3-4 other walmarts in my area, no such issues have risen.

why don't use WM app for WM BP, very efficient and straightforward.

Usually that means the payer is not available for WM BP.

I don't know about that card specifically, but that's the error I get when I try the Alliant Visa card. I've tried it as "Visa" and "Alliant Credit Union" and I get the same error.
