Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

1. Got this card for my teenage kid, tried 3 times to activate text alert/notification, NEVER works.
2. Only received a paper statement a couple of times, NEVER received any paper/email again since then.
3. Tried 3 nights to check balance/statement online (Jun 21 - 23) in order to pay, NEVER works.
4. Tried to call customer service (Jun 23) after 10 hours of work but customer care closed, hope to talk to someone as payment is due, pressed lost/stolen dept but then card was blocked automatically without even anyone talked to me (I had and have cards of other banks, never had that happened!). The automated message said someone will call within 24 hours but NOTHING happened ..... To Be Cont'd

I got the card back in 2015 and unfortunately had someone close to me use it and max it out without my knowledge. I only ever used this card for emergency purposes only so I only ever paid it when I used it and always tracked how much it was. I found out the card was being used by someone else in 2016 when collections started calling me. I asked if it was possible to do a payment plan, they said no. Knowing it would take some time to pay it, I asked for the card to be cancelled immediately. Fast forward to 2021, I decided to apply for a new credit card through a different company. I was immediately denied. I looked at my credit report and found the card had been marked derogatory. I called to find out why it was like that as it was supposed to be closed in 2016. I have over $300 owing on this card from almost 6 years of fees and interest because the card was not cancelled when I asked for it to be cancelled. They never contacted me to inform me of the outstanding balance.

Horrible customer service. Very long wait times when you call in. They don't want to give credit increases years later. They need to just discontinue their Mastercard.

I had 4 fraudulent charges; 2 in Feb and 2 in March. I started calling on April 8 to try to get a new card and credits.
Since then, I received 3 identical cards - nothing changed and NOT a new card until the 4th card came at the end of May. I have called 7 times totally more than 5 hours of my time that I cannot get back. To date, I received 1 credit and not for any of the amounts I've been charged.
I've tried to speak with a supervisor or manager or director of the customer service or fraud department and apparently, they don't speak with customers. Still waiting for a callback. The frustration level I am experiencing is beyond acceptable. This was my main card before this and it will no longer be in the future.

My husband got this card and every time he makes payments it never reflects on the statements. The balance never goes does down, but up and it's not even being used! He's contacted customer service about it, but it is a waste of time. They said for payments to show, the full balance must be paid. There are charges on the card that he's never made and Walmart doesn't do anything about it. Terrible card, even worst customer service.

Walmart charged me twice for one transaction and it happened on Feb 26, 2021. But still didn't give back my money and on top of that, they are charging me interest on the amount which I didn't use. Which is totally unacceptable. I will never recommend anyone to take credit card service from Walmart. They give 0 customer service to their customers.

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

Never ever apply for a Walmart Rewards Mastercard. Insane problems, they will put unnecessary "security blocks" so you have to send them additional identification by fax (who uses a fax anymore)... I suspect a secondary scam. My credit is excellent and I fear they have created problems. I cancelled my card and I am still receiving charges, likely from sending them identification to unblock.
The entire support does not speak English. Absolutely no online account to check or verify current charges. Walmart promises discounts for signing up, I would not sign up for a million dollars!!!

1 Added some spending on buying Walmart insurance without my permission
2 Delay statement then no statement
3 Turned to check online and noticed have been used in online shopping with Amazon several times
4 Walmart call center poor response
