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)

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 "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.

WM Billpay & TD Bank Mortgage
Trying to use WM Billpay to pay TD Bank mortgage, yet unsuccessful. Anyone else paying TD mortgages w/WM Billpay?
Options tried:
• TD Bank Consumer Loans
• TD Bank North
* TD Bank
Select the biller, enter the criteria and after entering bill zip code (04240,) getting error "Transaction Declined. We're sorry, unfortunately we re unable to process this transaction. Tap done to close this screen"
WM support, well, lets say no one has been able to address the topic.
--------
UPDATE: Turns out there is a TD BANKNORTH MTG (which shows up if you do not add a space at the end of bank). This looks like it might work....now w/a different issue.
Previous options for CheckFree, yet w/the MTG option only option is MoneyGram and fee jumps to $4.99 minimum ~ and while mortgage is sizable one can not justify that cost.
Any tips or insights?

Anyone getting blocked from using giftcards at Walmart for Billpay? I was able to get the transaction done last week.
However, I went to two walmarts this week and both saw my GiftCard debit card and wouldn't allow the transaction. One teller told me the transaction will go through but she will get in trouble by management if she lets it. I'm wondering if its just my local area (south cali in los angeles) or if this is a nationwide policy now.

OTOH, are you banned from Walmart? I thought that WMBP was independent from MG so that you could still do WMBP even when banned by MG.

Either go another time with different CSRs to the same WM. If you get the same blow back, then the service manager has instituted rules on using GCs for payment. In this scenario, you have to wait it out until the manager and CSRs change. There are plenty of DPs in this thread where WMs were initially unavailable for MO and BP services but came back to life after a period of time.
There are also plenty of DPs where certain regions of the country have WMs that are unfriendly, to say the least, to MSing activity and have been that way for a long time. You didn't tell us where you were having the trouble, but if you did, we might be able to tell you from experience whether you reside in one of those regions of the country.

The app has been very glitchy lately, I've seen similar errors before so now I just do phone # lookup payments.

The one and only time I asked my WM CSR to go to the CFBP option on their screen, they couldn't find it for VISA. I had to use the app.

Not all stores have the same options for bill-pays. We've seen reports that some Walmarts don't have Visa as an option. If you try another walmart they might have it.

I'm not sure if some WM stores don't have the Visa/MC option, or cashiers are just clueless and don't know how to set it up. I find it strange that such a common CFP biller name would be missing.
