Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

Applied for the WM MC was approved, card sent, activated it, went shopping, then they blocked my card "due to security verification and was told 5-7 business days before they could even unblock. Asked me to fax in documents, which I have done. First off, who uses faxes in today's world? 2nd, 5-7 days??? This sounds absurd for the length of time.
Was indicated someone had called in with my account# on which I have no idea who this person is (they gave a name and phone # they called in from) but am not buying this. Sounds like they made up a name to give me. I have only used the card 1 time online, 1 at a Walmart store and then at a grocery store.
Update, April 14th,
Duo bank responded to the review (this review) inviting me to call in. I did (call in).
I got the same lady, this is now 4 times reaching that EXACT same person, who by the way has no place on this planet answering phones or dealing with clients.
I asked her does anyone else works there? No response to that.
So the fax that was sent 3 days ago, was "just received today 3 days after" wow I guess Canada Post sent it to them after travelling around the world a few times. Now 3-4 days has passed and I am still being told 5-7 days.....No explanations, nothing.
Having dealt with several other credit cards and well over decades, this is the first time I have ever dealt with some of the DUMBEST people on this planet.
They do NOT take security seriously, they do NOT provide explanations properly, and they certainly do NOT respect their clients.

Where do I start... two fraudulent cash advances in a land far, far away that we have never been to with this card. Call Customer Service the same day we notice the fraudulent charges and after giving an abundance of information to the agent, she mentions that she will need to refer us to the fraud department. The fraud agent asks for pretty much all of the same information then says she will need to research it. Calls back and confirms the transactions are fraudulent. A few days later, the charge for the (fraudulent) cash advance appear on our statement... Yea I know, comical, farcical... Call back a couple of weeks later to ask why charges haven't been credited and after almost a carbon copy of the initial interaction with the first level of agent incompetence, she tells us the notes on the file indicate that the fraud agent couldn't get in touch with us! The customer service agent indicates she needs to transfer us to the fraud group again. We ask for a supervisor... on hold for a few minutes and then told that there is no supervisor available. She then says the charges will be taken off our account within 24 hours... more than 24 hours later still no resolution. Not sure when the circus will end but if you're thinking of applying for this card DON'T!

Walmart Mastercard is nothing but a rip-off... They have no security whats so ever... I live in Ontario, someone hacked my Walmart Mastercard in ALBERTA and ran up a bill of over $700.00. We phoned Walmart Mastercard but we might as well talk to the wall... I will NEVER EVER use a Walmart Mastercard again! Where is your security on your Credit Cards? MASTERCARD is getting a lot of bad reviews because WALMART is a scam! I wonder how many other customers are getting ripped off and screwed ??

My card is always compromised it seems like their security is not good even though I paid for that security every month.. and some of the customer services in the dispute department are rude and not helpful. Arrogant and hang up on me. And has zero idea why I was transferred to her. She didn't give me her name.
Not a good service and not happy with the Walmart Mastercard!!!!

Do not use this card... Walmart does nothing to protect you from fraud and doesn't really care... In fact, they make it almost impossible to cancel your card when you report fraud. They pass you to customer service representatives and try to talk you out of it and are not helpful at all... It is the worst company we have ever dealt with and we recommend not getting a Wallmart master card... So glad to rid this company of our money. Worst company ever!

Worst fraud prevention and customer service in all credit card providers. I noticed unauthorized transactions on my credit card, called and reported it - they wouldn't begin a fraud investigation until I reported this to the police and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. I asked 3 different customer service agents to cancel my card because there is fraud taking place, all three said this was done. For 2 months they fought me to make me pay for fraudulent transactions - including transactions after I asked them to freeze my card.
It wasn't until 3 months later before they finally credited me back - and I think they only completed this action because of the Canadian Anti-Fraud center's intervention.
It's been 7 months and I am still fighting to get all my money back.

I had a Walmart Mastercard and was surprised when I received my statement of account that I had so many unauthorized transactions. I immediately called and informed them. The following month, I received another statement of account but all the unauthorized transactions were still there. I went to the Walmart store where I opened my Mastercard, and the Store Manager was very kind and helpful. He promised me that he would communicate this issue to the concerned department. I was happy when I received the next statement of account as they already zeroed out. After a couple of months, I received another statement, and the unauthorized transactions have appeared again. I called and was promised once again that they will refer my case to the concerned person. I hope Walmart can do something about this as this is not a good reflection on them as they don't have a secured system. Customers are prone to fraudulent activities.

Do not. Do not do it. Do not even contemplate it. Got the card, it’s been hacked three times (awful security). The bigger nightmare is trying to close your account. Closed my card (or so I thought) yet another payment magically showed up three months later that I had no clue about. Ended up going to claims and my credit score dropped by 150 points over 2 months. I’ve had a flawless credit score for 12 years. Do not, Do not, Do not.

My card was compromised and it was a nightmare dealing with the security department. It took many calls to resolve. They were supposed to put a block on the card so that it can’t be used, but they didn’t and the scammers kept using it. I called so many times, kept getting transferred then disconnected. Long story, but in short they’re very incompetent and it was a terrible customer service experience

I do not understand why this card has so many security blocks. I go abroad and I left notes telling them was travelling and they still go ahead and block my card. Also to get unblocked was a disaster and the lady kept me online for an hour asking all kinds of stupid questions. For a small $3K limit card this is annoying and the service very bad as they kept transferring me between departments.
Horrible card - stay away!
