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:

Yep, something changed today. Can't access the old app. They hit you with "Our new app goes so far and so fast. To continue, please update now."

Can't get past that screen.

I had a pmt go through today. Got "Transaction Declined" Sunday night and Monday. Gave it another shot today and no issues.

Edit: I spoke too soon. Just opened the app again and got the "update" message.

Getting the update message on both Android and iOS old apps. Can't get past it or use the app for anything else.

So, the update is MG only, no more CFP?

I was just able to eek by today. Got the message to update the iOS app, but for a split second the old app was working. I quickly hit "services" and was able to proceed BAU. But I suspect this is the last time I will be able to do it. I sure hope they bring back the bill pay feature because it was so convenient.

Walmart really doesnt want us to use the service .

I was somehow able to navigate to the Money service section by disconnecting the phone from internet. Then enabled the internet and refreshed the Money service section only to be greeted with the message

"Please update your app to use this feature. Then return here to send and receive money from your phone"

I think they covered all their bases.

Now i have to step out to liquidate the remaining GCs.

I extracted the apk files and changed the file referencing the app version. Repackaged the apk and self signed it. The app no longer asks to update.

However, when going to the money service section, the app tells me that the app needs updating to use the money service feature.

So, like you, I'm realizing there's no way around this.

Android loads https://www.walmart.com/nativeapps/f...e-android.html, so looks like the change is server side.

I believe only the money center page is server side. I mean the one you've referenced is also server side, but you're only redirected to that page if the installed app version does not match the latest app version.

There's a version check that happens initially and you're sent to the page you've referenced only if there's a mismatch. The page for the money services section appears to be republished to show the message:

"Please update your app to use this feature. Then return here to send and receive money from your phone"

Of course, updating the app means losing the feature altogether. As said above, Walmart does not want its customers to use CFP within the app.

Has anybody noticed that Moneygram no longer lists any Walmarts as an option to submit bill payments? Even if you go in person, you might not be able to use them to pay any type of bill any longer. I wonder if Walmart is getting out of the game for *any* type of bill pay?

For both of those two (wu and mg) it's possible, but the fees are exorbitant and defeat the purpose.

They just got WU, would be odd if they dropped them. Probably CFP would stay. Maybe MG dropping out is related to WU being added?
