Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

My card number was compromised from the Walmart website in less than a month of signing up. They cancelled my card and put my account on hold. They "sent" me a new card, then immediately sent me to collections over $29. Calling every single day, multiple times a day. Even though they knew it was impossible to pay the balance with no card, no account number a locked account. They also charged me interest! The customer service agents will harass you, victimize you and shame you. IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.

Can you believe that the entire team has put itself totally on the safe side as nobody can complain to them and there is no email or contact number to do so...
They are not able or don’t want to recheck the recordings ( if really any recordings).
To me, the 4-year experience was full of headaches when both time and money are concerned. That’s why I did not surprise by reading 1.4 stars out of 5 given to this company.

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.

After I spent over $1500 they put a block on my card after a $213 purchase at Walmart. All I needed to do was send them either a hydro bill or tax assessment for my house, to prove I am who I day I am. However, they are sending me my monthly bill and are charging me the insurance premium which I cannot cancel until the block is off. I tried going to a Walmart to fax them (will not take email) and they said they cannot fax the security department for Walmart! There is nowhere in town that does faxes for the public due to Covid!
They will not budge for me to email or mail! This company does not care about the little man!

This card has given me hell from the beginning. Poor customer service, attitude from them while demanding you pay them your owed balance. Now I’m dealing with DNA collections because of them who are also making my life a living hell. Stick to other bank's credit cards to keep your life easy. The phone calls are around 15 a day for no reason, they have such high interest and won’t raise your credit limit no matter how good your credit is. Don’t forget, they also RUIN your credit at the credit bureau!!!

I called the first time and was told they would "call back in 5 minutes". Really? I have never seen a company treat their customer like that and on top of that, I never received the call.

After calling 4 times again and having them say the exact same thing but not giving any more information it was until the 5 and 6th call is when I was able to actually have a conversation with the customer representative about why my card was on hold.

This time the representative I had on the phone "Helped"!!! She was able to take the block off from what I was told over the phone but was told to wait 20 min for it to be reset.

I will try it later this week but this should never have happened.

Please be persistent when they tell you they would call back in 5 minutes. Just call back 20-30 minutes after the first call and you will receive a new representative and you will hopefully get one that will help you sort out your issue.

I did an online Walmart order, I shopped at another local store to use the card in person. I received a phone call later that day from their security division. They had put a lock on my card until I fax them more ID for my security... mine or theirs. I told them I have no intention of faxing my personal info anywhere.

I called back and spoke to someone reading talking points. She had no capacity to answer why my card was locked. She told me I had used it correctly but it was locked because... because what? No response. I asked for a supervisor... 24-48 hours wait, so I waited.

72 hours later no supervisor called so I called and cancelled the card after paying off the balance. The agent said he was sorry I was cancelling. I said if you really cared, someone would have called me when I asked.

They let the card go over the limit... then sent me a bill for almost $500 !!! They called my house, my cell phone AND my husband's cell phone about 7 times a day. I paid $300... could barely afford that.... they still keep calling... OMG... absolutely horrible. I can't wait to get rid of this card. Unbelievable

Twice I have given Walmart M/C a chance and twice they have shown me they do not deserve my business.
First card they cut my $12.000 limit down to $8.000 and said because I wasn't using it I didn't need it. Who are they to decide what I need???
I closed the account about 3 years ago and there was a balance owed to me of about $1.59.
The second card I just got. (Let me say I do not need their card) I called and asked them to put the balance owed to me on the need card. They couldn't do it and said "balance on the first card was zero. I ket that slide. Well done I get a bill pertaining to the first card "cancelled and cut up" that I owe $4.85 for an inactivity fee.
That's it with this store and their cards. These guys are nothing but a "SCAM".
Don't trust them and stick to your cards with respectable Canadian Banks.
Walmart really sucks the bag. Including their stores. Don't waste your money on anything Walmart-related stores or cards.
