Conquering the Retail Jungle: How to Use Your Walmart Visa Card on Amazon
Ah, the age-old question that's stumped many a bargain hunter: can you use a Walmart Visa card on Amazon, the land of everything under the sun (and some things that probably shouldn't be)? Well, fret no more, intrepid shopper! We're here to navigate the retail jungle and show you how to make that sweet, sweet plastic sing its siren song on both websites.
But First, a Word About Your Walmart Visa Card
Hold on there, buckaroo! Not all plastic fantastic is created equal. Here's the thing: there are two main types of Walmart Visa cards:
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
- The Walmart Gift Card Visa: This prepaid card is a one-shot deal, loaded with a specific amount of cash to spend. Treat it like a gift card from any other store – once the funds are gone, that's it.
- The Capital One Walmart Rewards Card: This bad boy is a reloadable credit card that earns you points on your purchases at Walmart and elsewhere. You can redeem those points for sweet rewards, like gift cards (including Amazon gift cards, wink wink).

Okay, Now Let's Talk Amazon
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Now that we've identified your Walmart Visa weapon of choice, let's get down to brass tacks. Here's how to use them on Amazon:
-
The Gift Card Visa: This one's a breeze. Just treat it like any other Visa gift card. Head over to your Amazon account and add it to your payment methods just like you would a regular credit card. During checkout, select your Walmart Visa gift card as your payment method, and voila! Important note: Amazon doesn't allow splitting payments between gift cards and credit cards, so make sure your gift card has enough to cover the entire purchase.
-
The Capital One Walmart Rewards Card: Here's where things get interesting. You can't directly use this card on Amazon (unless you're buying something from Walmart itself on Amazon, which is a whole other story). But wait! Don't despair! Remember those rewards points we mentioned? You can use them to snag yourself an Amazon gift card. Once you have that gift card, follow the steps above for the Gift Card Visa.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Bonus Tip: Stacking Savings Like a Pro
While you can't directly use your Capital One Walmart Rewards Card on Amazon to earn points, there might be ways to earn points on your purchase through other means. For example, some credit card companies offer rewards programs that let you earn points for using their shopping portals to access online stores. Check with your credit card company to see if they have such a program and if Amazon is included.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
And There You Have It!
Now you're a seasoned Walmart Visa wrangler and an Amazonian shopping extraordinaire! Remember, a little planning goes a long way, and with this knowledge in your arsenal, you can conquer the retail world, one bargain at a time. Just be sure to keep an eye on your spending and those ever-tempting "Add to Cart" buttons – because with great shopping power comes great responsibility (and maybe a slightly lighter wallet). Happy shopping!
