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. 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: Any and all Vanilla VISA, Vanilla MC, and OneVanilla VISA. Glimcher VISA MASTERCARD $1.50 next day.

Billpay at Walmart (2018 onwards)
Today, the Walmart App no longer recognizes the Payee AMERICAN EXPRESS-NEXT DAY.
It says Sorry, we couldn't find this payee. Check that this spelling is correct and try again.
I tried to assigning the Walmart App to different Walmart locations but still get the same message.
The Walmart MoneyCenter employee saw my previous American Express Bill Pays but said the AMERICAN EXPRESS payee used before no longer shows up on their computer terminal.
Has anyone else experienced that the Walmart Money Center is no longer allowing AMERICAN EXPRESS Bill Pays?

I’ve still got a Suntrust Skymiles debut card and can buy MO with no problem anywhere. My problem is liquidating those. Sigh. My bank gets fussy with too many MO deposits.

Need your help on my missing BP by using Walmart App... This happened before the wiki has the information about this issue...
So did 2 back to back billpayments to the same accounts. First one posted without problem but second one never posted. Walmart called Checkfreepay confirm that they didn't receive the money from Walmart so the money just stuck somewhere at Walmart. However the Walmart keep asking me for the confirmation receipt(the short one) which the Walmart app delete after 5 transactions, I still have the long receipt through but no last 4 digits of the credit card. What's stupid that they are making the excuse just based on that I cannot provide the confirmation number.
Walmart also said they checked the balance in cash office and there is no additional $2000.
Any idea what's the best strategy to deal with Walmart? small claim court?
Thanks！
