| How To Check A Walmart Gift Card |
Option 1: The Online Sleuth
- Channel your inner internet detective: Grab your trusty device (phone, laptop, potato with internet capabilities – we don't judge) and head to the Walmart Gift Card Balance website (https://www.walmartgift.com/wmgift).
- Unearth the hidden treasures: Look for the 16-digit card number and PIN hiding on the back of your gift card. They might be disguised as a series of seemingly random numbers, but trust us, they hold the key to your financial freedom (well, Walmart-related freedom, at least).
- Crack the code: Enter the card number and PIN into the designated fields on the website. If you're feeling fancy, you can even click the "Remember this card" checkbox to avoid future detective work (unless you lose your device, then you're back to square one, my friend).
- Behold! The grand reveal: With a tap or a click, the website will unveil the balance remaining on your gift card. Did you just win the lottery (of slightly discounted socks and bulk candy)? Or are you left with enough for a single banana? Embrace the suspense!
Pro Tip: If you're dealing with an e-gift card, the balance information should be readily available in the confirmation email. No need to play detective, just crack open your inbox and voila!
Option 2: The Phone Whisperer
- Gather your intel: Locate your 16-digit card number and PIN (just like in option 1, detective skills are crucial!).
- Dial the number of mystery: Pick up your phone (or borrow a friend's, we're not judging) and dial 1-866-633-9096.
- Navigate the automated labyrinth: Follow the prompts from the friendly (or not-so-friendly) automated voice system. You might have to press a few buttons, but hey, that's the price of knowledge (and potentially, a new spatula).
- Speak to the oracle: Once you've navigated the automated maze, you might be connected to a live representative. Feel free to ask them anything gift card related – they've heard it all (including, we're sure, some pretty creative attempts to crack the gift card code).
Important Note: While the phone option might seem a bit old-school, it can be helpful if you're facing technical difficulties online or simply prefer the human touch (even if it's through a phone).
