So You're Done with the Waltons? How to Ditch Your Walmart Money Card (Without Leaving a Trace, or Maybe Just a Receipt)
Let's face it, the allure of the Walmart Money Card can fade faster than a pre-packaged salad after a week in your fridge. Maybe the 3% back on online purchases just doesn't cut it anymore, or perhaps you've realized that plastic fantastic isn't your financial soulmate. Whatever the reason, you're here because you're ready to break up with your Walmart Money Card. But fear not, lovelorn leaver, because this guide will have you saying "adios" to your card faster than you can say "rollback prices!"
Before We Begin: A Penny for Your Thoughts (Literally, Maybe)
There are a few crucial things to consider before you hit the eject button on your Walmart Money Card account. Here's the nitty-gritty:
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
- Is your balance a big, fat zero? Walmart isn't in the business of handing out free goodbyes. If you've got moolah lingering in your account, you'll need to spend it down or figure out a way to get it out before you can close the account for good.
- Do you have recurring payments linked to the card? Don't be that friend who forgets to update their billing info and leaves their streaming service subscriptions in financial purgatory. Make sure you update any automatic payments before saying sayonara to your card.
Three Paths to Parting Ways with Your Plastic Pal
Now that we've covered the housekeeping, let's get down to business! Here are the three main ways to close your Walmart Money Card account:
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
1. The App-tastic Approach: Close It with a Few Taps
If you're a tech whiz (or just really like emojis), you can close your account using the Walmart MoneyCard app. Here's the drill:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.

- Channel your inner ninja and navigate to "Settings."
- From there, it's a jungle gym climb to "Manage Card" and then the grand finale: "Close Your Account." Just be sure you're ready to commit before hitting that button – there's no turning back (unless you like customer service phone calls, which, well, that's a whole other story).
2. Website Warriors: Conquering Closure Online
For those who prefer the comfort of a keyboard, you can also close your account by logging in to your account on the Walmart MoneyCard website. Just follow these steps:
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
- Login like a boss (or at least someone who remembers their password).
- Head over to "Account Management" – it's like the control center of your financial freedom. From there, select "My Card" and then the ever-important "Close Your Account" option.
- Just like the app, you'll be presented with your closing options. Choose wisely, financial grasshopper!
3. Calling in the Cavalry: Customer Service to the Rescue
Maybe you're not a tech whiz or just prefer the human touch. No worries! You can always close your account by calling Walmart MoneyCard customer service at (877) 937-4098. Just be prepared to answer some security questions and explain why you're giving them the boot (although, they won't judge... probably).
So Long, Farewell, and Thanks for All the Savings (Maybe)
With any luck, you've successfully closed your Walmart Money Card account and are well on your way to financial freedom (or at least a different prepaid card adventure). Remember, if you have any lingering questions, don't hesitate to consult the Walmart MoneyCard website or call customer service. They may not be able to give you your money back (unless it's in your account balance, of course), but they can definitely help you navigate the great financial unknown.
