So You Got a Fancy-Pants Walmart Gift Card: How to Use It Without Looking Silly (Because We've All Been There)
Let's face it, folks, receiving a gift card can be a bit of a conundrum. It's like getting a fancy box wrapped in mystery – you know there's something good inside, but you might end up with a spatula collection you never knew you needed (unless you're secretly a spatula enthusiast, no judgment here).
But fear not, friend! If your mysterious box holds the glorious treasure of a Walmart gift card, fret no more. This guide will walk you through redeeming it on the Walmart app, all without the social faux pas of holding up the checkout line while you fumble with your phone.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.

| How To Redeem Walmart Gift Card On App |
Step 1: Download the App (Unless You're Living Under a Rock)
Okay, this one might be a no-brainer for most, but hey, there's always that one uncle who still thinks the internet is a fad – we see you, Uncle Steve. Download the free Walmart app from your app store. It's pretty much the same as having a tiny Walmart in your pocket, minus the questionable smells and the screaming children (although, your phone calls might beg to differ).
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Step 2: Sign In or Man Up (or Woman Up, or Non-Binary Up)
If you already have a Walmart account, high five for being on top of things! Just sign in using your email and password. If you're new to the game, don't worry, creating an account is easier than assembling those Ikea shelves. Just follow the prompts and resist the urge to name your account "IWishICouldBuyEverythingHere."
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Step 3: The Fun Begins (Aka, Finding the Hidden Gift Card Button)
Now for the slightly-less-obvious part. You'll need to find the hidden chamber, the digital vault, the gift card oasis within the app. Here's the roadmap:
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

- Tap the "Account" tab at the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Behold! A list of options appears. Look for the one that says "Wallet" and tap on that bad boy.
- Now you're in the financial district of the app. Look for the "Gift Card" option and tap on it like you just discovered buried treasure (because, in a way, you did).
Step 4: Unleash the Magic (Aka, Entering the Code Like a Boss)
Here's where the real "shazam!" moment happens. You'll see a screen asking for your gift card number (the long string of numbers on the front of the card) and the PIN (the shorter set of numbers usually found on the back, sometimes hidden under a scratch-off thingy).
Type those bad boys in with confidence! You can even give your gift card a nickname if you're feeling particularly creative. Maybe call it "The Spatula Slayer" if you plan on using it to conquer the spatula aisle.
Step 5: Bask in the Glory (Aka, Using Your Gift Card Like a Pro)
Now that your gift card is loaded and ready to rumble, you can start adding items to your cart like a shopping ninja. When you reach checkout, simply select "Gift Card" as your payment method, and voila! Your fancy-pants gift card will magically pay for your treasures.
Congratulations! You've successfully redeemed your Walmart gift card on the app without breaking a sweat (or dropping your phone in the process). Now go forth and conquer the aisles, and remember, responsible shopping is always encouraged (unless it's on clearance day, then all bets are off).
