So You Forgot Your Walmart Gift Card PIN? Don't Panic, You're Not Alone (Probably)
Let's face it, remembering a million PINs in this day and age is enough to make your brain do the Macarena. You finally snag that amazing deal on that inflatable T-Rex costume you've been eyeing (hey, no judgement) and then BAM! The cashier asks for the PIN and your mind goes blank. Did you write it down on a napkin and accidentally toss it into the salsa bowl during that epic nacho cheese incident last week? Or maybe it's hiding somewhere deep in the abyss of your brain along with that catchy jingle from that commercial you saw in 1999.
Fear not, fellow forgetful friend! Resetting your Walmart gift card PIN is easier than wrestling a particularly stubborn shopping cart (you know the ones that seem possessed by a poltergeist). Here's your ultimate guide to unlocking the plastic treasure chest of savings:
Calling in the Cavalry (or Customer Service)
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
The first line of defense is a good old-fashioned phone call. Grab your phone (hopefully it's not hiding in the freezer with that leftover pizza) and dial the magic number: 1-855-498-8692. A friendly customer service representative will be waiting to guide you through the PIN reset process. Be prepared to answer some basic questions about your gift card, like the card number and maybe even a security question (hopefully it's not "What is your favorite childhood pet's name?" because Fluffy the goldfish might not be coming to mind right now). Pro Tip: If you can't remember the exact wording of the security question, don't sweat it! Just explain your situation to the representative and they'll likely be able to help you out.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.

If you're feeling adventurous (and your phone battery is on life support), you can try resetting your PIN online. Head over to the Walmart Gift Card Services website and log in to your account**. Wait, I don't have an account! No worries! You can create one easily using your gift card information. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Manage PIN" section and follow the on-screen prompts. Important Note: This option might not be available for all gift cards, so if you hit a dead end, don't despair! Just pick up the phone and call customer service.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.

Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
With a little effort (and maybe a sip of that sugary coffee you desperately need), you'll be back on track to using your Walmart gift card in no time. Remember, writing down your PIN in a safe place (like not on a napkin destined for the salsa bowl) is always a good idea to avoid future meltdowns. Now go forth and conquer that shopping list, majestic T-Rex costume and all!
