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.

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.

DISABLE AUTO UPDATE (Android)
Once you know you have the correct version installed then you can go into the Google Play Store, click on your profile icon in the upper right, choose Manage Apps and device, select Manage at the top, find the Walmart app in the list (might have to sort the list by name) and click/tap on it once (this should take you to the Uninstall/Update menu), click the vertical ellipses (three dots) in the upper right corner, UNCHECK Enable Auto Update.

Have a biller to pay, after reading what's been happening to lagdroid users I laughed smugly to myself. Little did I know, after opening up my iPhone app which looked the same as it did before, went all the way to pick biller where it errored out and suddenly the entire interface of the Walmart app changed, and the old bill pay options completely disappeared. I am 100% sure there was no update because I haven't been on Wi-Fi all day, the app simply changed the interface completely on its own in the middle of use after crashing. Was the Walmart app little more than a website wrapper and everything was done server-side?

Payment never received
I made a payment to BoA biz CC (which is on the no fly list in the wiki) for an amount that isn't huge but I'd like it back. Long story short it's been 4 weeks and the payment was never received. The card is drained and for some reason the payment is not showing up in the WMBP transaction history. Does anyone know the process of getting the payment refunded? Do I need to contact WM or BoA? or am I SOL? I should have know it wouldn't work but I always like to be the data point and try anyway. Any help is appreciated.

The key piece of info you need is the checkfree reference number - if you can't access the receipt and paid in the app, you should have also got an e-mail that contains this information. Worst case, call checkfree and they may be able to look up the payment by biller and account#. Once you have the checkfree reference # for the payment (and assuming checkfree customer service sees the payment as rejected and it's been returned to WM), the process to get a refund in-store is pretty straightforward. Have the store call checkfree if they need instructions.
wonder which cards work inStore - is it non metas

I've scrolled through a substantial portion of this thread and can't quite understand something so maybe someone can help. Can you load a Prepaid card (GB in my case) with WM BP or does it have to be a credit card payment only?

I had app updates disabled on all my phones but they still found a way today to push an update for my newer Android phones.
Still have the old app on some older devices. Was still working tonight but really glitchy at times. I wouldn't expect it to keep working much longer.

Deleting and reinstalling still works for me on iPhone, but if I close out the app and immediately reopen it, it's back to the non-BP version. Hopefully someone with more app/computer knowledge than me can figure out what is happening. Has anyone tried installing the app on an old Apple product, as in one that stopped updating before last week?
