Re: New Walmart Credit Card Rewards Program - April 2016

Not to highjack thread but I would not be caught dead in a walmart anymore. I know I have the MC version (closed store card). But even thinking about closing mc version. Offers me no benifits. It did at one time with the free fico score but I have other cards that offer that now.

Walmart grocery stores aren't so bad. Their booze section is actually bigger than the flagship NASCAR route 66 rancho cucamonga one. Not that I judge walmarts by their alky selections... Most walmart shoppers buy varieties not in the locked cases right?

Anyway that's good news that they're stepping it up and you can always buy a bunch of stuff online and pick up in store if you need that day. Couple it with ebates you got a good gig.

Interesting, I got an e-mail last night from a survey company hired by Walmart. It essentially asked questions about rewards, their gas benefits, and asked about visuals in-store and online related to their $25.00 off your purchase by opening the card. As typical with surveys, they pop up comment blocks when you score a certain way. One was a question related to a visual and I noticed that they had the MC prominent and about half the store card showing behind it. I basically commented that it was misleading because very few get the MC version.


I got the same survey.  I was just going to post pretty much what you wrote, and then add "You're welcome" Smiley Wink

 

And the only time I use my WM store card is when I can use their deferred interest, or at Sams (until I got my Sams MC last month).  The closest Sams is 100 miles away, but the closest anything-but-Walmart is 100 miles away, so it's worth the trip.

This is very underwhelming. Those of us with Discover IT cards have had 5% available for a while now on online purchases from Walmart via the Discover Deals portal. That, of course, is doubled for those with double cash back promotions. It's a very obvious (weak) attempt at competing with Amazon and their Visa since Walmart decided to place a greater emphasis on their online business. That is evidenced by their decision to not extend the 3% rewards to in-store purchases as well.

I don't mind. This is still a nice card to have for someone just starting out, and these extra bonuses make it even better. I'll have to keep an eye open for Wal Mart gas stations while travelling, because I've never seen one!
