Hold Your Horses! You Can't Exactly Do That... But Here's a Workaround for the Two-Card Pony at Walmart Online
Let's face it, we've all been there. You're cruising the online aisles of Walmart, cart overflowing with deals that are practically begging to come home with you. But then, you hit the checkout and your heart sinks faster than a birthday cake in a mosh pit. Oh no! You forgot about that one item you absolutely had to get with a different card!
Fear not, my frugal friend! While Walmart doesn't currently offer a two-credit card tap dance at checkout, there are ways to wrangle your order into submission with a little payment panache.
The Gift Card Gambit: Your Secret Weapon
Here's where things get interesting. Walmart, bless their generous souls, allows you to split your payment between gift cards and a debit or credit card. This is your golden ticket to two-card territory (almost).
Here's the battle plan:
-
Gather your comrades (payment methods, that is): This could be a trusty debit card, a credit card itching to rack up some points, or that gift card from Aunt Mildred that's been gathering dust in your drawer (we've all got one).
-
March forth to the checkout! Once you've filled your virtual cart to the brim, head to the glorious checkout page.
-
Behold! The "Split Tender" option: Keep your eyes peeled for this magical button, usually nestled near the land of payment information. It might be disguised as a sneaky little dropdown menu, so don't be afraid to click around a bit.
Now, the fun part:
- Divide and conquer: Enter the amount you want to pay with each method. For example, if your order is $50 and you have a $20 gift card, pop that glorious number into the gift card field and the remaining $30 on your debit card.
Ta-da! You've just conquered Walmart with a two-pronged payment attack!
Important Side Quests to Remember:
- Walmart allows up to five gift cards per transaction, so you can get really creative with your payment splitting.
- Double-check those gift card balances! There's nothing worse than a payment snafu at checkout. A quick online check or a call to customer service can save you the embarrassment (and potential cashier side-eye).
The Not-So-Fine Print (But We Have to Cover Our Bases)
- This method won't work for splitting payments between two credit or debit cards. But hey, maybe with enough customer demand, Walmart will institute a two-card tango in the future!
So there you have it!** With a little creative payment maneuvering, you can conquer your two-card woes at Walmart online. Now get out there and snag those deals! Just remember, with great shopping power comes great responsibility (use those gift cards wisely, folks).
