Conquering the Conquest: How to Actually Use Your Walmart Rewards (Without Feeling Like a Total Noob)
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You swipe that shiny Walmart Rewards card with pride, that little digital "cha-ching!" music playing in your head. You've envisioned vacations in the Bahamas funded solely by strategically buying bulk toilet paper. But then, the cashier gives you that look. The look that says, "Sir/Madam, with all due respect, what exactly do you think you're doing?"
Fear not, fellow Walmart warriors! This guide will transform you from a rewards rookie into a redemption Robin Hood.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Step 1: Embrace the Power of the App (No, Seriously)
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
Gone are the days of digging through your wallet for a flimsy piece of plastic. The Walmart app is your new best friend. Download it, log in, and behold! Your glorious rewards balance will be front and center, displayed with the kind of fanfare usually reserved for royalty (or maybe just really good sales).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Step 2: Unleash the Redeeming Fury (But Not Literally, Please)
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.

Now for the good part. Here's where you unleash the power of your points:
- Cash Back at Checkout: This is the OG move. During checkout, simply tap the "Redeem Rewards" button on the app and choose how many points you want to use. Remember: 100 points = $1. So unleash your inner mathematician, but maybe avoid whipping out a calculator at the self-checkout line. Trust me.
- Fuel Savings for Your Shopping Spree Chariot: Gas prices got you down? Use your points to slash those pump costs! Just select "Fuel Savings" in the app and link your account. The next time you fill up at a participating Murphy USA station, those points will magically transform into sweet, sweet gasoline.
Step3: Level Up Like a Pro (Because Who Doesn't Love Rewards on Rewards?)
Walmart Rewards offers tiers, my friends. The higher the tier, the more points you earn per dollar spent. So, how do you become a rewards rockstar? Here are a few tips:
- Shop Like a Boss (But a Friendly Boss): Use your Walmart Rewards Mastercard for even more points. Just remember, with great points come great responsibility (i.e., pay your balance on time).
- Embrace the Weekly Ads: Those circular things you get in the mail aren't just for lining bird cages (although, that's an option too). They often feature bonus point offers on specific items. Stock up on your favorite snacks and watch those points pile up faster than a toddler on a sugar high.
Congratulations! You've officially graduated from rewards rookie to a points pro. Now go forth and conquer the aisles of Walmart, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and maybe a shopping cart overflowing with savings).
