Issues With Walmart & Money Orders

I’ve received a scattering of reports of people having issues purchasing money orders at Walmart using a gift card. Reader Chris was unable to do so in Bethesda Md and Northern VA area and reader Justin reports that last week there was a non-regular staff member observing transactions and this week they are refusing to process these transactions. I realize this has been YMMV for some time and not all areas are affected, but I thought it was worth mentioning. As always make sure you don’t buy more gift cards than you can spend down and always have multiple back up liquidation methods.
