Walmart vs Walmart discover you choose

With school starting soon and the need tobuy supplieabout am thinking about the savings I would have with a Walmart card.  A have questions for everyone. First, should I apply online or in the store? Should I apply for just the store card or Walmart discover which I would love to have my scores are about 650.  I have other CC but they are only about 3 months old.  Can I apply online or in the store?

Re: Walmart vs Walmart discover you choose

1) If you apply in store, while spending more than $100, you will get $20 off, if you apply online the same applies but you must make your purchase online.

 

2) you don't apply for one or the other, you apply, and they consider you for both. If you don't qualify for discover, they will try to give you store card, and if you qualify for neither, than you will be denied. 

 

Good Luck!

It's also only one app. If you don't qualify for the Discover card, it tries for the store card.

I think your good to go on the store card. The DISCOVER version is much harder to get and its been reported by several ppl getting denied for the DISCOVER version with 700+ scores. I myself was expecting to get the DISCOVER one and i was denied with a 715 score just last week. Maybe u can get it though. Goodluck
