Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

Extremely unhelpful customer service spent hours trying to resolve a simple issue with 7 different agents. When asked to speak to a supervisor, each of the 7 times was on hold for 41 min and then the connection hung up. Said there would be a customer service review survey after call..... ya no way do they provide that. The absolute worst experience I have ever had, cancelling my card nothing is worth this kind of hassle.

Walmart Mastercard has been hands down the most infuriating service. On its own, the credit card is fine. Back when I used to shop at Walmart for most of my groceries, it worked well. But as soon as I had to initiate a chargeback, the cracks really began to show themselves. Long story short, WestJet broke Canadian Federal law by not providing a refund to a cancelled flight, and as such I pursued a chargeback with my Walmart Mastercard. They sent me the documents via mail and required that I either fax or mail them back. You heard that right: Fax. In 2020. The fact that Walmart doesn't have credit card tap is one thing, but they can't correspond with their customers via email/online? Ridiculous. From there, it was a waiting game. They give the merchant (in this case WestJet) 45 days to respond to the chargeback claim. Due to the fact that we had pages and pages of proof showing how WestJet broke the law, they never did. That alone would have been fine. The issue lies with how Walmart handled the situation. I called them four times to confirm the status of the Chargeback, and each time they provided different dates as to when it would be over. To be fair, the second time and the last time I called, they gave the same dates. So clearly they don't have the technology or information on hand to determine when exactly a dispute will end, otherwise each call would have had consistent information. In the end, their lack of consistency and the difficult nature of being able to get any concrete info out of the Walmart Mastercard led me to cancelling my account the minute I knew the Chargeback was over. To conclude, this card may have nice benefits if you use your card often, but if you ever want a credit card that will actually work for you and provide you the information you need as one of their clients, I would encourage you to look for a better card. You are just a number to these people, and they will jerk you around with unprofessional service all the live-long day.

Bunch of scammers!
They continue to add an over-limit fee when I'm not over and refuse to waive it.
Worst customer service representatives, they do not actually assist - it's all scripted responses.
HIGH interest rates.
Save yourself the hassle!

Customer service representatives are very deceitful... I called a few times to rectify an issue and everything was being given different answers...

Made a purchase and got a refund for overcharging. The refund didn't show on my statement after 6 days. Called Customer Services and was tossed over FIVE agents who could not even see the transaction on their system! At one point, the agent dares to accuse the store has reversed the refund. Enough is enough. I am not going to use a credit card with non-Canadian customer support.

If there was 0 stars I would rate this card a 0. Their customer service is terrible, I called them multiple times for the same issue with 0 help, I felt like I was begging for assistance.

The customer service is horrible. Good luck trying to speak to a person, who has the ability to communicate in English. The wait times are outrageous. My account was hacked/manipulated - and all my rewards money was gone. Then, the account was closed - without my permission. Incompetent employees. Will not likely ever open another account with them. The interest rate is one of the worst among retail stores. Avoid at all costs. I paid off the balance owed and ask to have the account closed. Pathetic is an understatement.

It took 57 minutes to resolve a simple question. I was passed from agent to agent. Most could not understand my question. I will be cancelling my credit card because I am seriously concerned that if I actually had an important question that there is no way it would be handled in a professional manner.

Beware. Don't get misled by the various paid (fake) reviews about the Walmart rewards card. Look at the actual customer reviews which will open your eyes. Except for the 'rewards' that you can use only at Walmart, this is a very bad card with horrible customer support. If you have any dispute then God saves you. First, call customer support. They say 'you have to wait until the merchant charges your card, right now it is pending merchant action'. But I realized this is a fraudulent merchant with a fake website, can't you stop them from charging my card? 'No, we can't do that'. Ok, so you call 'after' the card is charged. you get transferred to their 'security' team. they waste 15-20 minutes of your time and then say that 'this should be handled by our dispute team' and they transfer you there. The 'dispute' team wastes another 15 minutes of your time and then says 'oh this is a 'world' master card so we have to transfer you to another dispute team'... 15-20 more minutes then they say 'ok we can create the dispute but you have to call the 'actual' dispute team who work only Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm'. Really? 'and we cannot provide you the direct number of that team, you have to go through support'. Really? So the time of their teams is important but the customer's time is not? Does a customer have to waste hours just to file a dispute for a fraudulent transaction? And why should the customer be thrown around between their various departments? None of their customer support seems to be empowered to do 'anything' other than say the same standard statements again and again like a parrot. worst ever.

Walmart Rewards Mastercard is the worst card I have ever experienced. Customer service is the worst, I waisted about 15 total hours to explain to them that I haven't received my card and was charged for interest. The delay was from their end. They informed me that I will get $10 the first time using the card, and then when I decided to use it, they informed me that I am not eligible for that $10 because I did not use it in the first month. People in customer service are not qualified people and don't know what does customer service representative mean. I will cancel my membership as soon as I got rid of the interest charges I got because of their delays.
