So You Wanna Be a Walmart Point Pro? A Guide for the Aspiring Point-i-nist (get it?)
Let's face it, folks, in this crazy mixed-up world, who doesn't want a good point system? Racking up rewards, feeling like a champion shopper – it's the dream, right? And when it comes to points, Walmart is like the point-giving granddaddy of retail. But here's the thing: navigating Walmart's point system can be trickier than finding a perfectly ripe avocado (side note: those things are elusive!).
Hold on to Your Cart, Here Comes the Breakdown!
There are actually two main ways to score points at Walmart, and understanding the difference is key. Drumroll please...
-
The Employment Point System: This one's pretty straightforward. As a valued Walmart associate, you get a shiny slate of 5 points. Every time you miss a shift, show up late, or forget to bring your lucky llama socks (hey, some rituals work!), you might rack up a point. But here's the catch: six points and you're saying goodbye to your blue vest. So, play it safe and aim to be the punctuality king/queen! (Unless your llama socks are that magical).
-
The Elusive Customer Point System (or the One We Actually Want to Talk About): Alright, this is where things get interesting, because technically there isn't a traditional points system for customers. Bummer, we know. But fear not, point enthusiasts! There are ways to be a Walmart point-getting ninja (without the suit).

The Credit Card Caper: Whip out that Walmart credit card and watch the points roll in. You get a whopping 5 points for every dollar spent in-store and online (because who doesn't love online shopping in their PJs?). Just remember, credit cards can be a double-edged sword, so use them responsibly, friends!
-
The Birthday Bonanza: Happy birthday to you! On your special day, Walmart showers you with love (and points!). Sign up for a Walmart account and keep your birthday info updated. You might just score a sweet treat (and by treat, we mean points) to redeem on that perfect birthday gift (or that extra bag of gummy bears, no judgement here).
-
The Applause for Apps: The Walmart app is your point-gathering bestie. Download it, browse through deals, and you might just stumble upon surprise point offers. There's also the Ibotta perk for Walmart+ members, where you can earn bonus Walmart Cash through the app. Cash and points? Now that's a party!
Remember, these are just a few ways to become a Walmart point-i-nist. Keep your eyes peeled for special promotions, and who knows, you might just become a Walmart point-collecting legend!
