Walmart MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

When Walmart Mastercard updated its website, some changes made were good, and some NOT.

The previous Walmart MC website always had on the left column the following info:
Current Balance, Min Due, Credit Limit etc. If you were trying to balance by viewing past transactions, seeing your current balance helped. No matter what you were viewing, that info could always be seen.
With the New Walmart MC website, this info is only available on the main page and once you leave that page, you better have memorized it all. If you were trying to balance and forgot what your Current Balance was, you would have to leave the page you are on, go back to the main page, and start all over.
I have emailed Walmart Customer Service about this issue, and they told me they have nothing to do with the Walmart MC website and to contact the Credit Card Customer Support. So I messaged them, and they also said they do not take care of this and referred me back to Walmart. No one wants to take the initiative to help or refer me to the right place.
Why could they not have your Current Balance available when viewing transactions, up on top in the shaded blue part? There is plenty of space. So frustrating when you are trying to balance.
Why will no one LISTEN!

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.

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!

Walmart Mastercard has been hands down the most infuriating service. On its own, the credit card is fine. Back when I used to shop at Walmart for most of my groceries, it worked well. But as soon as I had to initiate a chargeback, the cracks really began to show themselves. Long story short, WestJet broke Canadian Federal law by not providing a refund to a cancelled flight, and as such I pursued a chargeback with my Walmart Mastercard. They sent me the documents via mail and required that I either fax or mail them back. You heard that right: Fax. In 2020. The fact that Walmart doesn't have credit card tap is one thing, but they can't correspond with their customers via email/online? Ridiculous. From there, it was a waiting game. They give the merchant (in this case WestJet) 45 days to respond to the chargeback claim. Due to the fact that we had pages and pages of proof showing how WestJet broke the law, they never did. That alone would have been fine. The issue lies with how Walmart handled the situation. I called them four times to confirm the status of the Chargeback, and each time they provided different dates as to when it would be over. To be fair, the second time and the last time I called, they gave the same dates. So clearly they don't have the technology or information on hand to determine when exactly a dispute will end, otherwise each call would have had consistent information. In the end, their lack of consistency and the difficult nature of being able to get any concrete info out of the Walmart Mastercard led me to cancelling my account the minute I knew the Chargeback was over. To conclude, this card may have nice benefits if you use your card often, but if you ever want a credit card that will actually work for you and provide you the information you need as one of their clients, I would encourage you to look for a better card. You are just a number to these people, and they will jerk you around with unprofessional service all the live-long day.

Definitely, it's not worth it to get it cause they have very high-interest rates. Walmart makes money by not allowing the customer to check the outstanding amount at Walmart. So if you go to Walmart and ask them to check the outstanding amount, they wouldn't know. It's a no Brainerd for them to do that as some customers might miss a payment... The only good thing is the customer service, but the marketing idea is really poor. I suggest not getting one if you have a CC with a bank.

I always settle my balance on time. I haven't received my June invoice, but have received a text message overdue notice. They charge me overdue fees and interest. I complained and asked for overdue fees and interest to be waived and she said "no sir".
I asked her to send my complaint to the management team and she replied "no sir". I emailed Ombudsman and after a month I have not received any feedback yet.

From November 2021 to April 2022 bills don't add up. It is like 1+1=5 to the bills... I called them to compute it manually but they refuse to do it. Paid almost $200 just to get it over with. Purchased $300 the next month and paid it after a week. The next statement came saying I owed $54 from last month told them the statement says $300 only and they keep rambling about thats from last month which doesn't show in the statement from the previous month. Freaking lost it and just cancelled the account... he offered the cancellation letter to be sent to my address. Never again... Greedy company! They use the points to lure customers and then overcharge us.

My card was compromised and it was a nightmare dealing with the security department. It took many calls to resolve. They were supposed to put a block on the card so that it can’t be used, but they didn’t and the scammers kept using it. I called so many times, kept getting transferred then disconnected. Long story, but in short they’re very incompetent and it was a terrible customer service experience

Good basic card with the worst service. With this card, customers can use rewards once the amount reaches $5. Worst service - so many disappointments! 1. They upgraded the website - that’s the biggest disappointment as it’s very inconvenience to a user; one can review only 3 or 4 transactions (laptop screen can accommodate only these many as a transaction has so much width gap from other) to see other one needs to scroll up or down; 2) Customer service is below average. I had to call 3 times to get reissue additional card and every time I was promised I would get in the next 7 to 10 business days. 3) Online messaging communication is not helpful. You send any message they respond by identical message - "sorry, this can’t be answered, please reach us on phone"... I have 3 replies to my messages which are identical like this. 4) Another worst feature is that pending transactions and approved transactions are mixed when you see it online which is very confusing. Raised inconveniences but no hope. I didn’t cancel my card as it’s not going to help me. So I have started using another card, which pays rewards annually but has good customer service and easy to use a website. I have a habit to review transactions 5 days a week. If you like to review your account regularly then you would be frustrated by the Walmart MasterCard website.

Walmart credit card is just OK. Sure, you have no fee, rewards are pretty much the same as any other but the customer service - terrible!!!
