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 don't have any indication it is shut down. It was allowed to make payments about 2 weeks ago.
Easiest way to tell if your account is shut down is check your email including spam from Amex.

Another way is to just take $20 in cash to WM and see if you can load the card. If you can, then the problem is elsewhere. But if you can't, then that card is in trouble.

I only get them 50% of the time anyway so I just opt for the identity questions usually.

There is no choice for me. i have 2 accounts . One account works with identity question and the other was working with code verification , when i was with ATT. Now with t-mobile not working , even for some of my bank accts.

Have to call t-mobile or have to go back to ATT

Try changing the number linked to your Walmart account in BP to be a not mobile number (landline or Google Voice). It will force you to identity questions every time in that case.

Folks,

Has anyone had any success in paying Barclays business cards? I am trying the jetblue card but the app keeps giving transaction declined message. Other mastercard business cards go through fine. I tried both the credit card and the business account number.

I have on account under google voice, no luck for me. Gives error can't verify all the time, no option for alternatives. Only the acct under my cell phone works.

I was able to add couple of MC gebits in WM app but they dont show up and i read some comments earlier about this glitch.
Tried adding a Simon VGC and it shows up fine.
When i tried to pay my CapOne CC, i got the ID verification quiz and then at the final payment screen it was asking me to scan a QR code in-store. I dint know this was required so i went in store and scanned the QR code and the rep told me to swipe my card.
Same Simon VGC swipe did not work instore..Now i think this was because i was trying to pay $997 + $3 service and in app limit is under 700.

Came home and tried the app again for a lower amt $200 and it worked fine with a $3 fee even though i selected NextDay CFP which starts at $1.5, not sure if $3 was expected or did i mess up some other step.

I've seen that with a few billers where they say the cheapest option is $1.50 but they really charge $3.00. I don't think you are messing up.

Newbie question here. I have a question for those that use Wal Mart billpay. Could you pay with a 1% cash back debit card such as Serve and fund the card with your bank account (and not gebits)? If possible I'd rather go this route to avoid all the hassles I keep reading on this forum/Reddit.

It's being stupid today. First, the code for verification never got delivered to my phone (it always has before). So I choose the questions. Great. Then I get transaction decline on the last stop. I made 4 previous max payments to this card. Odd. As I understand, it's 5 per month? Or 5 per rolling 30?

If someone could summarize the known rules for WM Billpay App, that would be helpful. I have seen various ones theorized about but none explain the continuing failure I am encountering across multiple accounts.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Serve isn't a debit card.

And welcome to FlyerTalk.

By chance, were you able to get around it? I got this issue after carrier change and now regret it. :-(
No option for identity question.
