| How To Put A Walmart Gift Card On Your Phone |
Step 1: Unearthing the Information
First things first, you'll need to grab your trusty gift card and embark on a mini archaeological dig. Flip that bad boy over and excavate the following:
- The Card Number: This lengthy string of digits is your gift card's unique identifier, like a social security number for plastic money.
- The PIN: This is a 4-digit code, usually hidden under a scratchable layer that resembles a tiny lottery ticket. Treat it with the same care you would a winning Powerball number (although, hopefully, the value on your gift card is less life-changing).
Remember: These little treasures are like the keys to your digital shopping kingdom, so keep them safe and sound!

Step 2: App Ascension: Choosing Your Weapon
Now, the path diverges. You have two options, valiant warrior:
- The Walmart App: Download and install the Walmart app, the official battleground for all your Walmart needs.
- Your Phone's Wallet App: Most smartphones come equipped with a built-in wallet app, a digital haven for your credit cards, loyalty programs, and, potentially, your Walmart gift card.
Choose wisely, young Padawan! Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, so pick the one that best suits your shopping style.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
Step 3: The Digital Dance: Adding Your Gift Card
For the Walmart App:

- Launch the app and navigate to your account settings. It might be hidden under a profile icon or tucked away in a menu.

- Behold! A "Gift Card" option awaits! Click on it and prepare to be amazed.

QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
