Our Verdict
The Walmart credit card used to be totally uninteresting, but they did add last year a 3% earn rate for walmart.com purchases. It’s obviously no big deal for most of us, but if there is a someone or a business who regularly spend large amounts of money on walmart.com, the card might make sense.
With this offer, you’ll get a $75 Walmart gift card, plus another 10% back on your first shopping (max $25) for a total of up to $100 back.
It’s certainly a step up for their regular offer of a 2-liter bottle of soda, though that offer did vary from Dr. Pepper in 2015 to Pepsi in 2016. Card is issued by Synchrony Bank.
Hat tip to Fatwallet
The partnership between Walmart and Synchrony is a scam to get online customers to open an Credit Card account with Synchrony witht the promise of a gift card reward/incentive that never materializes. No matter how many times you call Walmart credit card services or the Bank, neither of them are willing to work with you the customer. You get transferred back and forth over the phone with the claim from both sides that the gift card promo isnt their responsibility respectively. Trying to work with someone via email gets the same results. Same result after working with chat agent through website chat feature. This is why I never activated my card and demanded my account be closed with the option to receive mailed proof of the closure of the account. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! from both a bank and partnered Walmart. I hope lots of people see this and close their existent account with Synchrony and/or never open one if considering doing business with this bank.
This bank was associated with amazon.com at one point but their customer service at the time and promos were honored and easier to work with at that time. Obviously amazon had means to make the bank stand behind its partnership with them. Looks like that relationship is now broken with Walmart in place of amazon where now neither think they should take responsibility for honoring promos. the auto-attendant never gives the option to close the account or speak to an agent for either the bank or walmart. if you say customer service agent enough the system all of a sudden allows you to state why you want this dept. if you say “close my account” the auto-attendant responds saying it can close your account with the option to receive mail confirmation.
Search in ur inbox, junk, spam folders .. you should have got an email from [email protected] .. I hope you’ll find it.
Freeman they told me the same thing a month ago i never got anything and i just can’t wait 2hrs on the phone again its not worth it
Yeah I never got mine either. I called again and they told me they sent a request to walmart.com (because the promotion is given by walmart.com) and it can take up to two billing cycles for walmart.com to get back with the credit card department! Then he also told me I would probably end up just getting a $75 credit on my credit card statement instead of the giftcard. He was nice enough to give me a $25 credit on my statement though.
I have got the gc from Wm internal email ID. it was hiding in my inbox
? can you explainme
I applied on 1.28 at 10 pm etc.. got card no gc yet .. it was showing 75$ e gc on 1.28
I had to end up calling Walmart credit customer service. The number should be on the back of your credit card. They told me it should be in my email some time today and if not to call them back. Hopefully it will be in there and I don’t have to keep calling them.
I still have yet to get my egift card! Tomorrow will be the 12th business day. Guess I will have to call them but not sure who to call.
Applied on line but was not immediately approved. Was instructed to call in. Called in the following day and was approved. Received the $75 egiftcard via email within a couple of days.. Received credit card about a week later. Surprisingly the card was attached to the certificate for 15% off(not 10%) on your next in store purchase. Received PIN number a couple of day later……not sure what that is for. Do you need a pin number to make a Walmart CC purchase?
Sorry, I meant $75 gift card.
Could someone please post a screenshot of the $100 gift card offer. I was declined on Jan 28 when I applied, but they ended up approving me on Feb 3. I got rid of the screenshot since I wasn’t approved. Thank you.
I am still waiting for my $75 e gift card too, I got the credit card but still waiting for other
same here wawalmart.com said he not goin to send me any gift card ..
