So, You Got Yourself a Fancy-Schmancy Walmart Select Gift Card: A User's Guide (with Jokes, Because Why Not?)
Congratulations! You're the proud owner of a Walmart Select Gift Card, the gift card that says, "I care, but maybe not about your sugar intake." Don't worry, candy lovers, we'll get to the limitations later. First, let's dive into the exciting world of using this plastic treasure trove.
| How To Use Walmart Select Gift Card |
1. The Burning Question: Is It Activated?
Before you go sprinting towards the latest fidget spinner display (because, let's be honest, who can resist?), there's a crucial step: activation. Fear not, weary adventurer, this is a simple quest. You have three options, choose your fighter:
- Online: Head to the mystical land of https://www.walmart.com/account/giftcards/balance and enter your card number and PIN (that magical four-digit code on the back).
- Phone: Dial the wise oracle, 1-800-411-7942, and follow their instructions.
- In-Store: Seek the counsel of the Customer Service knights at your local Walmart.
Remember: An unactivated card is like a knight without a sword, useless in the battle for amazing deals.

2. Unleashing the Power: Where to Use It
Now that your card is activated and ready to rumble, it's time to unleash its purchasing power. But here's the thing, this gift card is like Santa with a sweet tooth: it has limitations. You can conquer most of Walmart's vast kingdom, but beware of the forbidden lands:
- Candy: Sorry, Charlie, this card has sworn off sugar crashes.
- Money Services: You can't use it to buy money orders, lottery tickets, or other financial shenanigans.
- Certain Fees: It can't pay for things like shipping costs or service fees.
But fret not, the realm of possibilities is vast! Clothes, electronics, home goods, even a life-sized cardboard cutout of your favorite celebrity (no judgment here).

The choice is yours, brave shopper!
- Online: During checkout, select the "Gift Card" payment option and enter your card details. It's like online magic!
- In-Store: At the checkout counter, present your card to the cashier, and they'll do their wizardry.
Pro tip: You can use up to five gift cards at once, or combine them with other payment methods for maximum purchasing power.

4. Keeping Track of Your Treasure: Checking the Balance
Ever wondered how much magical purchasing power you have left? Fear not, for there are multiple ways to check your balance:
- Online: Return to the mystical land of https://www.walmart.com/account/giftcards/balance and enter your card details.
- Phone: Dial the same wise oracle, 1-800-411-7942, and follow the prompts.
- Receipt: Your receipt from the last time you used the card will usually show the remaining balance.
Remember: A gift card with an unknown balance is like a treasure map without the "X" - full of possibilities, but frustratingly incomplete.
