| How To Load Walmart Visa Gift Card |
Step 1: Channel Your Inner Sherlock (or Just Look at the Card)
First things first, you'll need to gather some intel. Grab your Walmart Visa Gift Card (the shiny plastic one, not the gift receipt that vaguely resembles a grocery list) and flip it over. There, nestled amongst the barcode and fine print, you'll find two crucial pieces of information:
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
- The 16-digit card number: This is like the secret handshake to the world of gift card purchases. Memorize it, write it down, or get it tattooed on your forehead (though we recommend the first two options).
- The CVV (Card Verification Value): This three-digit number is your gift card's secret code, so treat it with the same respect you would your actual credit card's PIN.
Pro Tip: Don't confuse the CVV with your PIN. You won't need a PIN to use your gift card, and sharing your PIN is a big no-no.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Step 2: Choose Your Activation Adventure
Now, you have two options to activate your Walmart Visa Gift Card:
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.

- Venture into the Wilds of the Internet: Head over to https://www.walmartgift.com/wmgift and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll need to enter your card information, agree to the terms and conditions (the boring but necessary part), and voila! Your gift card is ready to rumble.
- Embrace the Human Touch (and Avoid the Lines, Hopefully): Head to your local Walmart and visit the customer service counter. A friendly associate will be happy to activate your card for you, and you can be on your shopping spree in no time (unless you get caught up in the allure of the $1 bins, but that's a risk we all take).
Remember: Whichever method you choose, don't forget to keep your receipt! It's your proof of purchase and can be a lifesaver if your card gets lost or stolen.
Step 3: Shop Like a Boss (But Maybe Not Like the Guy Who Buys All the Toilet Paper)
With your Walmart Visa Gift Card activated and ready to roll, it's time to unleash your inner shopping beast! Remember, use it wisely (or as wisely as your sweet tooth allows when faced with the bakery section).
And hey, if you're feeling generous, you can even use your Walmart Visa Gift Card to grab a gift for someone else. Just remember, with great shopping power comes great responsibility (and maybe a slightly lighter wallet, but that's the price of retail therapy, right?).
