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.

Very little in 2020 due to pandemic. Seems they weren’t measuring current activity but had found something in the past they didn’t like. Those interested in the potential value of Chase MS need to ensure there are no banking accounts, as that’s primarily how they do shutdowns. They’ll close all CCs without warning, and the reason will be that an affiliate has terminated their relationship with you. Then you’ll get a letter saying that they’ve elected to close your banking account(s) in 30 or so days without a stated reason, because they don’t have to. The “affiliate” is the bank itself.

Shocked that a Bill pay went through because I am over the 8k limit. Then, however, the app changed to the new version with no option to bill pay. I did find a message saying bill pay in the app is temporarily unavailable so hopefully it’s not permanent.
you can see message if you click money center

Hey ricohitman
I read thru all post from 2019 and i seem to be running into these Transaction Declined errors like you have in the past.
These are my In-App payments that went thru fine and now i am blocked or banned or maybe on timer based hold ??
8/2 - 500
8/5 - 500
8/6 - 500
8/7 - 500
8/8 - 500
8/9 - 500
8/10- 500
8/10- 500
8/11- 500
8/15- 500
8/20- 500
8/24- 500
I know you mentioned your P2 account also started getting the same transaction declined issues with in-app payments, but in-store payments still works fine for you.
Did you get your P1 accounts in-App payments to work since Christmas after x months or are they still banned...

after paying one bill, the app went back to the other version that shows unavailable. I had to delete and reinstall the app again and it let me pay one more bill - let me know if anyone finds a fix?

Same thing here, though reinstalling after each transaction seems to be working for now. But that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen -- the app suddenly has a completely different design after a money transaction without updating itself in iOS.

I think the app is a pseudo-web browser, and gets all the code from the cloud. I just logged out to get into my other account, and now they all show the new interface. Until this morning when I was still logged in, I had the same older interface.

Yup, just got hit with the new version of the app. The website has also changed for me. Reinstalling the app works, but I'm guessing they're slowly rolling out this new version to everyone and it's a matter of time before you can't see the old one anymore. Was in a WM store recently and the new version seems a bit buggy. Hopefully they fix the BP features being unavailable soon though.
