The Great Walmart Gift Card Caper: Is There Treasure on that Plastic?

| How To Check If Walmart Gift Card Has Money On It |
Method 1: Online Sleuthing
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
For those who prefer to crack the case from the comfort of their couch, the internet offers a wealth of information, well, at least some information. Head on over to the official Walmart gift card balance portal (because who trusts shady back alley websites with their card numbers, right?). There, you'll be prompted to enter the 16-digit card number (the long one, not the expiration date on the back) and the 4-digit security code (usually found behind the scratch-off layer). A tense few moments later, and voila! The answer will be revealed, like a digital Indiana Jones emerging from the temple of retail.
But beware! The internet can be a fickle beast. Sometimes, the website might be slower than a sloth on vacation. If that's the case, don't fret! There's always another option...
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Method 2: Become a Phone Detective
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.

For those who crave a more personal touch (or maybe just don't have internet access because they're about to spend their gift card on a new router), pick up the phone and dial 1-866-633-9096. Follow the dulcet tones of the automated operator (hopefully not named Mildred), and soon you'll be connected to a friendly (or at least professional) voice who can help you crack the gift card code.
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Method 3: The In-Store Expedition
Maybe you're a tactile kind of person. You crave the thrill of the hunt, the feeling of plastic swiping through a machine. In that case, grab your gift card and hightail it to your nearest Walmart. Befriend a friendly customer service representative (or, who are we kidding, just politely interrupt them) and ask them to check your balance. They'll likely have a fancy machine that can do the trick in seconds, leaving you free to roam the aisles and ponder what fabulous item your newfound wealth will unlock.
Congratulations! You've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of gift card uncertainty. Now you can spend that money on everything from the latest video game to a suspiciously large quantity of gummy bears (no judgement here). But remember, with great gift card power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely, and happy shopping!
