Step 1: Embrace the Underdog (Your Gift Card, That Is)
First, accept that your Walmart Visa is the underdog in this fight. It's not a shiny Amazon gift card, the undisputed champion of the online shopping arena. But hey, underdogs can win too!
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.![]()
Step 2: Befriend the Enemy (Yes, Amazon)
Head over to your Amazon account, the land of your forbidden shopping desires. Log in, take a deep breath, and prepare to infiltrate their system.
Step 3: Channel Your Inner Ninja (Adding the Card)
Navigate to your "Account & Lists" and then "Account". Under the "Payment Options" section, click on the "Add a payment method" button. This is where things get tricky.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.![]()
Here's the key: DON'T choose the "Gift Cards" option. We're playing a different game here. Instead, select "Add a debit or credit card".
Now, enter your Walmart Visa information like a master of disguise. Name, number, expiration date - the usual suspects.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.![]()
Important Note: Amazon doesn't accept the CVV code (the three digits on the back) for prepaid cards like yours. But fret not, brave shopper! This hurdle won't stop you. Just leave the CVV field blank and proceed.
Step 4: The Big Reveal (Checkout Time!)
Now, the moment of truth. Fill your cart with treasures, from books to Bluetooth speakers. When you reach checkout, don't choose the newly added card as your payment method just yet.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.![]()
Instead, click on "Add a payment method" again. This time, you'll see your "Walmart Visa (masked)" listed amongst your payment options. Select it with the confidence of a champion.
And voila! You've successfully used your Walmart Visa gift card on Amazon.
Congratulations! You've conquered the retail jungle and emerged victorious, with a cart full of goodies and a newfound respect for your underdog gift card. Now, go forth and shop, champion! Just remember, with great shopping power comes great responsibility (and maybe a budget to keep you in check).
