In the same vein, the Walmart Gift Card is an evidence of Walmart’s efforts in ensuring a stress-free patronization and more importantly, consumer satisfaction.
Walmart Gift Cards may either be plastic i.e physical or an e-gift card purchased online. It is important to note they are pretty much the same, just that you can carry the plastic gift card around just like normal debit cards while for an e-gift card, you literally have it in your email since all information that you should have access to is sent to your email address on acquisition.
