Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

Very bad customer service! They are terrible!
Every time they send me to another service and disconnected.

Stay Away - Long Story, short!
1) This card will charge you fees for services that you never asked or requested for like $3 or $4 every month for something or the other. It's not huge but once you are being charged every month it is difficult to get hold of them to ask what is it for.

2) Poor customer service - They will keep you on hold for long, then hill transfers to supervisor then another supervisor and then another.

3) Difficult in understanding transactions - Once you review your account, the transactions mentioned should be easy to understand, so that you know where you have to spend money. But nope, they use short forms which makes it so difficult for you to understand that where you have spent the money.

Very bad experience.

I have had a very unfair and bad experience with them. Once I found the unknown charges in my account, I could not talk to the right person or a supervisor even after being stocked for 85 minutes on the phone. This has happened too many 4 times in a row and they don’t care at all.
Funny thing is that in the beginning, they advised me not to pay the balance and first check the unknown amounts with the vendor. It took me more than two months and still waiting for the vendor but Walmart Mastercard is charging the interest on a monthly basis telling me openly that we don’t care.
Every time they tell me that our supervisor will call you in 24-48 hours but they never do. I know they love to charge me with daily interest.
I am going to close my account with them and advise whoever I know to be careful with them.
Thank God everything is being recorded and they can’t hide it.

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.

Applied for the Walmart Mastercard to get the $25 discount on our purchases and was told the application didn't go through. 2 weeks later, got the card in the mail. Spent 1.5 hours getting thrown from department to department just getting the card activated (barely able to understand the people on the phone). Went to the store to make a Christmas purchase for $560 and the card was declined. Didn't even prompt me for a PIN. Went home and spent another hour getting thrown from one department to the next and was finally transferred to the Security department. Was told that due to the high purchase amount and first purchase, the card was blocked. They requested that I fax pictures of my ID and utility bill to prove my identity. Firstly, who uses Fax anymore, secondly, why wasn't the PIN prompted to prove my identity, and finally, why would I fax my personal details somewhere that can be used for purposes of fraud. After reading reviews with similar experiences, I decided to cancel my card

Tried to make a purchase and it was declined. By the time I spoke to the 4th agent after verifying my identity over and over and over again. I was steaming mad. Still declined the purchase. Looked like an idiot in front of people in the store. Worst clown show ever!

I went for the scam to save $25 on my purchase worst mistake in a long long time. I had no intention of activating this card thought not a bad idea to have it in case I ever need it. I have over an 800 credit rating and currently have a Visa and Mastercard from other banks. I bought a bbq at Walmart and scammed into the $25 off on the purchase. As soon as I got the statement I mailed a cheque for the full amount. My phone started ringing 1888 numbers 4-5 times every day the people phoning me were from somewhere in the world but could not be understood so I started ignoring these calls thinking they just wanted me to activate the card. 2 days ago I received another statement saying I was in arrears and they started adding interest. I phoned their customer service line about taking 1 hour and explained all and they said they never received the cheque and they would be sending it to collections soon then he told me that they don't accept cheques on the invoice it says make your cheque payable to... I told him this and he said he had to transfer me to a higher level of customer service back on hold for 45 minutes the next person I could only describe as possibly a french east Indian who was impossible to understand. I gave up all together about 2.5 hours later. I phoned the Walmart store and talked to the manager she said this is all a common story I cancelled my cheque costing me $13 and with another $6 interest charge I have no choice but to go to the store and pay it to save my plus 800 credit rating. The cheque has not been cashed. For your own peace of mind STAY AWAY DO NOY BITE NOTHING BUT A HUGE SCAM shame on Walmart and shame on Mastercard I learned a valuable lesson STAY AWAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN! It would only let me give 1 star I would rate them at least a MINUS 10

I just recently found out that my credit card has been a fraud, so I called customer service for help. But I have been put on hold for more than 2 hours until someone answered my call but had to transfer me to the security department. Then another waiting until someone from the security dept answered my call. When I told him about my problem, he put me on hold right away with no reason why and then I got on hold again, only to find out I have been sent back to the regular department...

I recently found fraudulent charges on my credit card, I had no idea what these things were... So I googled the company names and was like - what??? I never ordered anything from these websites… These are hundreds of dollars of charges… After being on hold for about an hour which I understand it can take a while especially during a pandemic… I finally get a human being on the phone and explain the situation… she politely asks me if I mistakenly signed up for a free trial or subscribed to something I explained no and that I have done my research and looked back on my transactions I did not make these transactions… she was like - ok, I will have to transfer you to the security department… After again maybe half an hour of being on hold the representative abruptly comes on the phone asking how he can help… I start explaining the situation and give him my card number. He rudely cuts when off when I was talking and basically repeated what I had said. I started saying I'm calling about charges I didn't make on my credit card he interrupts me while saying that and yells on the phone… I SEE YOUR CALLING ABOUT CHARGES ON YOUR CARD… Then he says - do you remember seeing something on Facebook or Instagram about winning a free phone and do you remember putting in your credit card? I said - no, I never did that! I try to explain in more details and he cuts me off again… Saying “really you don't remember let e repeat it again for you slower” (like I'm stupid) and he repeats it again and I said - NO I DID NOT MAKE THOSE TRANSACTIONS… He was like - ok, I will note you say that you didn't make those charges… Eventually, he cancelled my card and said he'd be sending me a new one… He talked down to me like I couldn't understand how a credit card works or what internet fraud is… I could not believe how he spoke to me and he completely changed his tone when I started getting angry… I am so angry never have I ever had such horrible customer service!!!

Spent three hours getting transferred around and waiting on hold. When someone was finally willing to help they lied about activating my card. My issue is still unresolved. Absolute clown show!!!
