Perhaps you've unearthed a stash of forgotten gift cards and decided to consolidate your plastic menagerie. Or, maybe, just maybe, you're experiencing a breakup with your beloved Walmart prepaid Visa card. It happens to the best of us.

How To Cancel A Walmart Prepaid Visa Card |
Option 1: Embrace the Digital Age (with a Phone Call)
For the tech-savvy individual (or those who simply loathe the thought of putting on pants), there's the phone call option. Gather your card number and courage (because, let's be honest, battling automated menus can be daunting), and dial 1-888-537-5503.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.![]()
Here's the play-by-play:
- Navigate the automated menu: This may involve pressing buttons with the grace of a hummingbird on Red Bull, but persevere!
- Speak to a customer service representative: Be polite, explain your desire to cancel your card, and answer any questions they throw your way.
- Confirmation is key: Once the deed is done, request confirmation of the cancellation and ask about any remaining balance. You don't want any financial surprises lurking around the corner, do you?
Bonus tip: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try channeling your inner superhero and speak to the automated menu in a Batman voice. It probably won't expedite the process, but it might make the experience slightly more entertaining (for you, at least).
Tip: Break it down — section by section.![]()
Option 2: Channel Your Inner Snail Mail Enthusiast
For those who prefer the charm of pen and paper (or simply lack the patience for automated menus), the mail option awaits.
Here's what you need to do:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.![]()
- Gather your supplies: Grab a pen, paper, and your prepaid Visa card.
- Craft a masterpiece: Write a letter to Walmart MoneyCard customer service (address: Walmart MoneyCard Customer Service, P.O. Box 25026, Omaha, NE 68124-5026).
- Be clear and concise: In your letter, clearly state your request to cancel your card and include your card number and contact information.
- Snail mail it away: With a flourish (or a simple stamp), send your letter on its journey.
Remember: Patience is a virtue, and it might take 7-10 business days for your request to be processed. So, grab a good book and settle in for the wait.
Important Note: Don't Forget the Benjamins!
Before you bid farewell to your card, remember to check your remaining balance. If you have any funds left, you'll need to decide what to do with them. Here are your options:
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.![]()
- Request a check: You can request a check be mailed to you for the remaining balance. Just be aware that this process can take up to two weeks.
- Transfer the balance: If you have another prepaid card or a bank account, you might be able to transfer the remaining balance.
Remember: Don't let those hard-earned dollars get lost in the prepaid card void!
So there you have it, folks! With a little guidance (and maybe a dash of humor), you can successfully cancel your Walmart prepaid Visa card and move on to your next financial adventure. Just remember, canceling your card is like breaking up with a bad habit – it might be tough at first, but ultimately, it's for the best.
