How will my Walmart Gift Card be delivered?
Your Walmart Gift Card will be digitally delivered, via web link, after the completion of your order.
In the case of some orders, to fight against payment fraud, we may need to send a request to verify your payment details with the upload of an identification card. If you get this request, this is a one-time request, and will make placing future orders much faster.
Our typical processing time for a Walmart Gift Card is 1-3 minutes.
What can I purchase with a Walmart Gift Card?
You can use your Walmart Gift Card to add balance to your Walmart account. Then you can use that money to buy from Walmart.com.
How can I gift a Walmart Gift Card to my friend?
Sending a Walmart Gift Card to a friend, instantly or scheduling for a specific delivery in the future, is fast and easy.
Next to the Add to Cart button at the top of the page is a "Gift" button. When you click on that you will be prompted to enter the gift recipient's name and email for delivery, along with an optional gift message. Here you can also choose to send your gift instantly or schedule it as a specific time to be delivered.
I'm going to try to avoid a TL;DR situation here.
I sell things on etsy, and I get paid into paypal. Often times it is easier for me to buy a Wal*Mart e-gift card than to wait for the 3-5 day turnaround time for paypal to deposit money into my bank account.
I've done this on four other occasions, and the longest it ever took to arrive in my email was a little under 2 hours. Usually it's within a half hour.
I do understand that the Wal*Mart site says it can take "24-48 hours, but usually immediately".
Today I purchased a gift card for a much higher amount than I usually do. I have prescriptions to pick up, groceries to get, etc...
Seven hours later, no e-gift card. I called up customer service and I was told that they're having 'technical difficulties'. How can a billion dollar company have such dramatic technical difficulties that it would hold up a major service like electronic gift card delivery?!
My receipt says very clearly that I should expect delivery by 9/26, which contradicts the 24-48 hour window.
I just find the whole situation so frustrating! At the absolute end of the day, I was promised a worst case scenario of 48 hours until delivery, but I don't understand why THIS purchase is the one that has to be so dramatically delayed. After establishing a purchase history on this account already, I honestly thought...I don't know what I thought. :\
Just wondering if anyone received an email like this? This walmart account associated with this email is old and all of the cards are expired. But everything in the email goes to the Walmart website.
