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.

Strange, looks like a dead link for me.
Sorry...
There's some technical trouble.
We're working on the problem now.

Since a few months ago. All their WU billers are 1.50, at least the 5 that I checked so far. The challenge is to figure out which ones actually work. On some I got "bad account" error.

Up until the end of the July I have receipts for CFP around here. A week or two ago, all my info at a Walmart got erased. I had difficulty paying Chase (Ink) and the cashier told me Western Union so I was a little confused. Chase didn’t work even using VISA or Chase Credit Card according to the cashier.

thanks for confirming. I guess Wki needs to be updated.

CFP is still around, cashier should have both options for many billers, along with MG for some. No idea how your info suddenly got erased but if you do BP very seldom, and don't have an online account with that #, it's possible they purge your transactions after some number of months pass.

For couple of days now i am getting transaction declined after verifying my id and all of that on the final step. does that mean my account is busted or did i hit some 30day limits.
If it was 30 days limit then i guess it should have declined me after selecting the cc and before ID verification step

If CFP MG or WU can't finish the transaction, they'll instruct you to go back to the store and get a cash refund. The MC/CS cashier has to call up the payment service and get a refund code.

you can go to any wm. you should be fine, in my case it was WF mistake they reversed the transaction instead of just depositing money to my checking for over payment

Has anyone tried to open an account in WM App in a friend's or child's name? Is it possible to do that entirely online?

Citibank DPs?

Curious for any DPs on trying to pay Citibank through the app (on iPhone). I’ve had no problem with Discover, and reluctant to pay Chase. But have paid Citi successfully in the past. Last several weeks though I automatically get a “transaction declined” before even getting to identity verification. So wondering if Citi just doesn’t work anymore. I’ve tried two different Citi cards and have tried re-inputting the card number but no luck.
