| How To Use A Visa Gift Card In Walmart |
Step One: Activating Your Weapon of Choice
Before any shopping spree commences, you must activate your Visa gift card. This is akin to charging your magical shopping wand. Most cards can be activated online or by calling a toll-free number listed on the back of the card. Remember, a non-activated card is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Step Two: Choosing Your Battlefield: In-Store or Online?
Walmart offers two battlegrounds for your gift card to unleash its purchasing power: the physical store and the online frontier.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
- In-Store: For the tactile adventurer, the in-store experience beckons. Grab your card, gather your courage, and head to the nearest Walmart.
- Online: For the comfort-seeking shopper, Walmart's online store awaits. Simply add your gift card information at checkout, and you're good to go!
Pro Tip: If you're shopping online and your gift card balance doesn't cover the entire purchase, you can combine it with another payment method like a debit or credit card to complete your shopping spree.
