Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

I had Walmart reward card for years. It was Ok at the beginning as you can use the cash-back money to shop at Walmart. Then it was hacked few times. The company increase the month limit to let the card being used continually.

Last year, I used the card in US then the card was blocked for no reason. I paid off the owed money (deducted the rewards amount), but the rewards money didn't count. They kept charging me the interest and phoned me many times. There was never smooth communication with the staff over the phone.

The online service function is terrible. No paperless statement, no text reminders when you make any purchase by the card, and not a safe card to use.

I applied for this card in mid August, they do a hard pull and approve me. I don’t receive my card till late September. I call to activate it and after being on the phone for over a hour and speaking to 3 different people over 2 days I manage to get it activated. Then I see on the day I called to activate my card they had done ANOTHER hard pull on my credit! Completely incompetent customer service.

I had to call Wallmart Mastercard 4 times and was on the phone for almost an hour and a half just to get a new card. I called Walmart Mastercard and asked them to send me a new Mastercard as the chip was not working. They kept sending me to an automated system to change my pin. Each time I called back I explained to them I just needed a new card sent out they said ok and kept transferring me to the automated system to change my pin. I kept asking for a manager and they kept trying to sell me stuff and saying congratulations you qualify for a supplemental card. I kept explaing that I just needed a new card mailed to me but they just couldn't seem to grasp the concept even though whatever country the call center is in spoke good English.
I tried calling Malmart Canada but would just get routed to the out of country call center.
Stay away from Malmart Mastercard and do your research to find a Mastercard company with good reviews and good customer service

First off. What company still uses a fax or mail only in 2023???? No email option for supporting documents. I have a disputed charge and this atrocious customer service has now told me they did not get the fax from over a month ago. I am being told it is my responsibility to re-fax the documents. As a customer, I have fulfilled my duty and this company does not support their customers, and just reads from some script. Secondly I really appreciate the 1hr long hold time for a supervisor, only to be disconnected.

So I got 5 transactions that were not authorized by me. Four different Walmart people came on line and asked me the same questions over and over and put me on hold and no resolution... customer service needs to understand that the more they scare customers the more people will close the Walmart card and they will be out of job! Customer service should be very careful on how they behave with customers.

I am really upset as this CREDIT CARD is being managed by off-shore staff, which is not the problem. Their ability to facilitate FRAUDULANT charges is, however. I have called them three times regarding something that occurred with my card. As I did admit to "being suckered" by a SCAM, I wanted assistance to lodge an investigation. These CSR and Fraud department staff told me they would MAIL - yes I said MAIL a form for me to fill out. Three times they have said this and for 4 - WEEKS no form has arrived and there has been no follow-up with an email nor have they remedied the situation. Let me be clear, their Walmart Dollars mean ZERO, if their CSR and Fraud Department can't facilitate an investigation via email. DON'T WASTE OR TIME OR YOUR MONEY WITH THIS CARD. Get a BANK Card and you will have appropriate service in a timely manner. THE WORST SERVICE EVER.

I tried to pay for my son's college tuition with my credit card and they blocked the card for security purposes. Fine, annoying, but I called and they stated they'd remove the block and I'd be able to use it in 5-10 minutes. 30 min later I try again, still blocked. Call again, was placed on hold for 20 min, then come on the line stating they will have it unblocked in 5 min. 2 hours later, still not unblocked, call a third time... placed on hold multiple times telling me they can't remove the block, they will need someone to call me tomorrow. Then they said, again, they can't do anything for me. What???? I am a good customer, paying off my balance every single month. I have an excellent credit rating. Why would they treat their good customers like that? All I'm asking for is to use my card. so I can pay for my child's schooling. Let's just say I'll be cancelling this card immediately and going somewhere that wants my business.

I have never had or heard about a lousier credit card. The lousiness ranges across all the spectrum, from customer service to blocking systematically large purchases in the 1-5k range on a fully paid card having a 15k limit. You don't have such a limit in order to buy all the candies and gum lining the entrances to the cashiers at any Walmart store!!!!

I opened a Walmart Mastercard after being hassled at the self-checkout at Walmart. Promises of $10 credit and another $20 credit, etc. Took 2 weeks to receive my credit card in the mail, after which registered for online billing. However a week later still could not see my online account. Called many times to discover they had a "security block" on my account and they promised to fix it and nobody ever fixed it! After calling in for the last time at 10:30 am on Friday in Canada, told that there was no Manager available in the Philippines to escalate this with. Again, more promises to fix this problem. Sick and tired of bad customer service and lies to fix it, so cancelled my card. They told me the $44 Rewards I had earned were now forfeited and my credits were now also forfeited. This is a SCAM card, DO NOT GET this Mastercard, you will be very sorry. Waste of my time and money.

Be aware they will give you the wrong information!
My credit was 2000.
I want to buy a voyage that cost 3000 and the agent tells me to make a payment of 1800 which will allow them to have the extra money and they will apply it to buy the ticket.
The money comes in and I have 3800.
The surprise is they will not use this 1800 they will keep it on the side and when you need to pay a payment on your credit card they apply it for payment so the money 1800 I paid I can’t use and will be only for payment so now I am financing Walmart also they will not pay back the money or return it.
Don’t use this credit card company or Walmart
I have filed a complaint with the Bureau de cunsomateur Quebec they say they can’t do that
So we are waiting...
