Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

These people have absolutely no respect for their customers.
First of all, I was pressured on signing up because the lady at the cashier wouldn’t shut up and let me leave.
Then I never received the card.
Only for them to call me 3 months later to tell me I have an outstanding balance on a card I never received.
I told them I would pay for the fee and cancel the card they answered they cannot do that because I don’t have a card number to provide them….
I don’t even have the patience to go through this story anymore… Anyway, I spoke to 5 different people none of them had the decency to even apologize for what happened.
I ended up sending them a check which was sent back to me. And now they’re on my back again.
I never had an issue with Walmart cause I was just shopping in and out. But if you’re dealing with them just know none of them care about you, all they want is to figure out a way of making more money out of you. They have ZERO solution to help out clients
One thing is sure for me I am NEVER shopping there again.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. Customer service staff always seems like lost, confused never know the solution, sometimes they just put you on hold and then hang up. Shame on Walmart.

Got this card about a year ago after being pushed to by a rep at the self-checkout. Only really did it for the same-day discount, activated the card, never used it again. Tried today to use it to use the 6th-month installment plan for a laptop. 'Card Issuer has declined the purchase'. I know for a fact I owe no money, have done nothing with this card, no reason for a $500 purchase to be blocked. Despite them so aggressively pushing it, Walmart offers no in-store assistance, just tells you to call them yourself. Tried that, wouldn't accept my pin, customer service closed, etc etc. Ended up making the purchase on debit after reading about other similar experiences and deciding it wasn't worth the stress. Save your time and your nerves. Absolutely awful.

I recently (Oct 14) ordered something from the US and have yet to receive the product despite many emails telling me it has shipped. When I check the shipping status, it hasn't even been packaged yet, much less shipped. Despite several email exchanges with the vendor, and a supposedly new shipment being processed I still don't have anything after waiting the requested 2-7 business days (as of Nov 20). My call to Walmart was frustrating, to say the least. They will open a case, gee thanks, and someone will get back to me, but no timeline promised or offered. I knew I should have used another card for this - my experience with it is completely different and they don't hesitate to proactively deal with these types of vendors. I knew I shouldn't have used my Walmart card and now I know that the hard way. I will never use them again.

Do not use this card... Walmart does nothing to protect you from fraud and doesn't really care... In fact, they make it almost impossible to cancel your card when you report fraud. They pass you to customer service representatives and try to talk you out of it and are not helpful at all... It is the worst company we have ever dealt with and we recommend not getting a Wallmart master card... So glad to rid this company of our money. Worst company ever!

Worst fraud prevention and customer service in all credit card providers. I noticed unauthorized transactions on my credit card, called and reported it - they wouldn't begin a fraud investigation until I reported this to the police and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. I asked 3 different customer service agents to cancel my card because there is fraud taking place, all three said this was done. For 2 months they fought me to make me pay for fraudulent transactions - including transactions after I asked them to freeze my card.
It wasn't until 3 months later before they finally credited me back - and I think they only completed this action because of the Canadian Anti-Fraud center's intervention.
It's been 7 months and I am still fighting to get all my money back.

I had a Walmart Mastercard and was surprised when I received my statement of account that I had so many unauthorized transactions. I immediately called and informed them. The following month, I received another statement of account but all the unauthorized transactions were still there. I went to the Walmart store where I opened my Mastercard, and the Store Manager was very kind and helpful. He promised me that he would communicate this issue to the concerned department. I was happy when I received the next statement of account as they already zeroed out. After a couple of months, I received another statement, and the unauthorized transactions have appeared again. I called and was promised once again that they will refer my case to the concerned person. I hope Walmart can do something about this as this is not a good reflection on them as they don't have a secured system. Customers are prone to fraudulent activities.

I could not pay for my already scanned items at Walmart, and it was very embarrassing because I just slipped only one card into my pocket before going there. One hour later, after listening light music for 40 minutes I found out that my card was "temporarily locked" for a reason unknown to an operator, and the only way to unlock it is to send a fax with a copy of my driver's license to confirm my identity. I used this card for three weeks, and there was no "suspicious" activity at all, just groceries. So I cancelled the card, thanks to the poor customer support and 2 hours on the phone after they failed to call me back the next day and escalate the issue (as they promised).
Surprisingly, they refuse to talk when I tell them that I am recording our conversation too, for reference purposes.

Do not. Do not do it. Do not even contemplate it. Got the card, it’s been hacked three times (awful security). The bigger nightmare is trying to close your account. Closed my card (or so I thought) yet another payment magically showed up three months later that I had no clue about. Ended up going to claims and my credit score dropped by 150 points over 2 months. I’ve had a flawless credit score for 12 years. Do not, Do not, Do not.

I do not understand why this card has so many security blocks. I go abroad and I left notes telling them was travelling and they still go ahead and block my card. Also to get unblocked was a disaster and the lady kept me online for an hour asking all kinds of stupid questions. For a small $3K limit card this is annoying and the service very bad as they kept transferring me between departments.
Horrible card - stay away!
