So you got a Walmart Gift Card: From Plastic Fantastic to App-tastic!
Ah, the Walmart gift card. A beacon of shopping possibilities, a universal translator for "I like you, but I don't know what you like." But fear not, giftee, for using this wonderful piece of plastic (or, more likely, recycled plastic these days, gotta be eco-conscious!) on the Walmart app is easier than, well, finding the last box of Oreos on a Saturday morning.
How To Use Walmart Gift Card On App |
Step 1: Download the App, Unless You're a Ninja with a Shopping Cart
First things first, you gotta have the Walmart app. Download it from the App Store or Google Play. It's free, and trust us, it's way easier than carrying around that plastic rectangle and hoping the cashier has a good memory for 16-digit numbers.

Pro Tip: While you're downloading, resist the urge to search "funny cat videos." We all know where that rabbit hole leads.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.![]()
Step 2: Embrace Your Inner Accountant (or Not, We Don't Judge)
This is where things get slightly technical, but don't worry, it's easier than balancing your checkbook after a particularly enthusiastic ramen noodle week.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.![]()
- Open the app and tap the spiffy little "Account" icon. It's usually in the bottom right corner, looking all inconspicuous.
- Next, find the equally spiffy "Wallet" section. This is your virtual vault of payment methods, and where your gift card is about to join the party.
- Tap on "Gift Card" and prepare to be amazed.
Step 3: Unleash Your Inner Gift Card Guru
Now comes the moment of truth: adding your gift card to the app. Here's what you gotta do:
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.![]()
- Enter the 16-digit card number. It's usually located on the back of the card, but don't worry if you have to play a game of hide-and-seek with the cashier receipt.
- Don't forget the 4-digit PIN! This is like the secret handshake to the world of gift card purchases. Remember, it's for your protection, so keep it safe (and maybe avoid writing it on a sticky note stuck to your fridge).
- Give your gift card a nickname (optional, but highly encouraged). "The Plastic Liberator"? "The Ramen Fund Replenisher"? The possibilities are endless, and it adds a touch of whimsy to your shopping experience.
Step 4: Shop Like a Boss (Because You Basically Are Now)
Now that your gift card is safely nestled in your virtual wallet, it's time to unleash your inner shopping champion!
- Browse the aisles (virtually, of course) and add your treasures to your cart. Just remember, with great gift card power comes great responsibility (i.e., don't go overboard and end up with a house full of inflatable pool toys).
- When you're ready to checkout, tap on the "Cart" icon and then "Pay."
- Voila! Your gift card should be automatically selected as the payment method. If not, just tap on it to make it the star of the show.
Congratulations! You've successfully used your Walmart gift card on the app. Now go forth and conquer the shopping world, one virtual aisle at a time!
Remember:
- This process is also applicable for Walmart eGift Cards, so no need to worry if you received one electronically.
- If you encounter any issues, the Walmart app has a handy help section or you can contact their customer service for assistance.
But hey, with these easy steps and a sprinkle of humor, using your Walmart gift card on the app should be a breeze. Now get out there and snag yourself some deals (and maybe a celebratory ice cream cone)!
