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 think it's the multiple $2K BP's per month that raise red flags.

I used the WM mobile app for Billpay today. It took a while to set up, but hopefully it will be much faster the next time I pay the same bill. It was somewhat quick at the store, although not way quicker than other times I've paid bills. The one thing I do really like is that it keeps the receipts in my phone. I always worry that a payment will get lost and I won't have the paperwork to nail it down.

I'm waiting to see how to do multiple bill payments in the same trip.

I switched back to paper receipts doing B/P to avoid complications later since the app will not show all receipts for CFP; going thru the express line using the app is faster but I prefer having paper receipts should there be issues later with past payments I made. I've read a lot of DPs where people can't retrieve their receipts when their payments didn't post on schedule.

Are you saying for some CFP payments the receipt never showed up on your phone? I've never had that happen, and I would be quite alarmed if it did happen.

Or are you just referring to the fact that the app only shows the last five receipts (and apparently deleted the older ones)?

Yes there are DPs about it. Always wait for receipt on your phone to pop up before stepping away from register. No receipt on your phone means no payment was send but VGCs where debited and you need refund.

I didn't have issues with B/P using the app a few times I've done it but I've seen issues at the Express Lane where others had problems with their transactions showing incorrectly. I'm more confident holding on to two receipts that print at the regular registers. I'm also aware of the last 5 receipts retrievable so I'd rather go to the regular lane and have paper receipts that I can scan and file for my records.

Aren’t the receipts on the app? Go to my account and then purchase history. All the BPs should show.

When you use the app, you don't get a paper receipt. I do wait until the screen on my phone changes to show it's been credited. However, given what was just said about only the last 5 being there, if I find I can't retrieve them all I'll start taking screen shots of them. Better safe than sorry.

I always email a copy of the receipt to myself.

When you're on the screen that summarizes the transaction, scroll to the bottom and select "View Receipt". A PDF-type receipt will pop up (it's identical to the second (smaller) receipt that prints when you do a BP outside the app.) From there, click the "Share" icon on the top right and email/share it as you wish. (These instructions are for the iOS version).

Keep getting 'Oops, we're having temporary system issues. Please try back soon." with the app. Been having these issues past 4 hours, anyone else encountering this?
