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.

My working version is 21.12 (21120123)

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)

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.

I got the same experience. For the last two billpays via phone number, I'm asked ID for both transactions. CSR commented there was a system update and every billpay needs to be ID verified.
Has anyone seen a change in Billpay? Today I was asked for ID for the first time in ages, and was also told I couldn't just pay "Mastercard" without specifying which bank. The CSR though was not one of my "regulars" so it's possible she wasn't as facile with the system, but she said the entire system had been rebooted.

Well there goes my globalentry account. Most CSRs are sticklers that it's not valid ID, even when I point out that I set it up way back with them in person.

The difference for a BP compared to a MO is the system has your ID info stored and there are already limits so it's a bit odd that it's being required.
For those that were asked for ID, was it no matter if it was initiated from the app or from your phone number?

No, it's Check Free BillPay.

I searched the threads but haven't found a definitive answer.... anyone having luck with Rakuten BP?
I also have noticed the CSR's are having problems finding VISA/MC... as someone posted above. But a small workaround maybe has been I have them load up a previous bp I have used and then type in a replacement card for that bill payment. I just say I lost the original card. They seem to have no problem typing the new number in.

I have noticed recently that WM BP requires entering ID information to process the transaction which I think is pretty strange. I am not sure if WM or CFP is asked to provide that information or if it is their way to try to shut this avenue down. So far so good but I do not like the path that this is going.
