| How To Walmart Rewards Work |
Step 1: Signing Up is Easier Than Saying "Mississippi" (Especially Since It's Free)
First things first, you gotta sign up. Don't worry, it's about as painless as putting on those comfy Walmart slippers. You can do it online, in-store, or even through the magical Walmart app (we'll get to that later). Just provide some basic info, and bam! You're officially a Walmart Rewards member.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Pro Tip: If you're already a Walmart.com user, you're probably already signed up without even realizing it. Check your account settings to be sure.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Step 2: Earning Points - It's Raining Rewards (Kind Of)
Now comes the fun part: racking up those points! Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
- Every $1 spent equals 1 point. So, the next time you stock up on that mountain of toilet paper (we've all been there), you'll be getting a little something back in the process.
- Bonus points: Keep your eyes peeled for special offers and promotions. These can be anything from double points days to bonus points for buying specific items. They're like little treasure hunts scattered throughout the store, just waiting to be discovered (and redeemed for sweet, sweet savings).
Remember: Not everything earns points. Things like gift cards, lottery tickets, and that questionable year-old bag of chips in the clearance bin (just saying) are excluded. But hey, there's still plenty to earn on!
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.

Step 3: The Glorious Redemption - Unleashing Your Inner Bargain Hunter
Alright, you've patiently collected your points, and now it's time to spend those babies like a boss. Here's how:
- In-store: When you check out, simply scan your phone number or the barcode on your physical card (yes, they still exist for those who prefer the analog life). The cashier will magically deduct your points from your total, and you'll be left feeling like a financial wizard.
- Online: During checkout, look for the "Redeem Walmart Rewards" option. Select the amount you want to use, and watch your total magically shrink (almost as satisfying as watching bubble wrap pop).
Important Note: You can only redeem your points in $1 increments, so plan your spending accordingly. Nobody wants to be left with that awkward "I'm just 3 points short" feeling.
Bonus Round: Walmart App - Your One-Stop Rewards Shop
The Walmart app is your secret weapon in the world of Walmart Rewards. Not only can you manage your points and redeem them easily, but you can also:
- Clip digital coupons for extra savings on top of your points.
- Browse exclusive offers just for app users.
- Create shopping lists to keep track of your point-earning purchases (and avoid those impulse buys of, well, everything).
So there you have it, folks! The not-so-secret secrets of Walmart Rewards. Now go forth and conquer the aisles, armed with your newfound knowledge and the power of points. Remember, shopping shouldn't feel like a chore, and with a little savvy, you can turn it into a point-collecting, wallet-saving adventure. Happy shopping (and redeeming)!
