Walmart credit card unlimited rewards

Walmart credit card unlimited rewards

With Walmart Credit Cards called Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card, you can earn unlimited rewards every day, for the things you buy everywhere.

There are two types of cards offered by Walmart, one is the Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card and the other is the Walmart Rewards Card.

A Summary of the Benefits
The benefit of the Capital One® Walmart Rewards Card is that it can be used for not only your Walmart purchases, but it can also be used anywhere else wherever Mastercard is accepted, and you get 1% back wherever else you use this card. Whereas the Walmart Rewards™ Card can only be used for Walmart purchases (Walmart.com, in the Walmart App(s), in stores, and at Walmart and Murphy USA Gas Stations).

The Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card offers many benefits, including: extended warranty protection, travel accident insurance, 24-hour travel assistance services, price protection and more.

The application for both these cards is the same. If approved, you will be eligible for the Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card.If you aren’t approved for the Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card, you will be automatically approved for the Walmart Rewards™ Card.

Both these Walmart cards have no annual fee, but the interest rates and other fees differ. The Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card has a 17.99% to 26.99% variable APR, while the Walmart Rewards™ Card has a 26.99% variable APR.

Since the Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card can be used wherever Mastercard is accepted, you can use the card abroad without the need to pay a foreign transaction fee. This saves you the 3% fee many other cards charge for purchases made outside the U.S.

You can also use the card to complete a balance transfer. The balance transfer fee is 3% for promotional APR offers and there are no fees for balances transferred at the regular APR.

Rewards can be redeemed at any time and for any amount. Redemption options include travel, gift cards, cashing in points during online checkouts at Walmart.com and statement credits.

Here’s what you can earn with both the Walmart Credit Cards:

  1. 5% back on purchases made at Walmart.com or in the Walmart mobile apps, including Grocery Pickup and Delivery.
  2. 2% back on purchases made at Walmart stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, and at Walmart and Murphy USA gas stations.
  3. Additional 3% back when you use Walmart Pay for purchases made at Walmart stores for the first 12 months from account opening, for a total of 5%.
  4. 2% back on the purchase of gift cards at Walmart (online, app, Walmart Pay or in stores).
  5. 1% back on in-store purchases at Sam’s Club and Sam’s Club gas stations.

If you are approved for the Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card, you will also earn:

  1. 2% back on restaurants and travel purchases
  2. 1% back on all other purchases

Also, your Capital One® Walmart Rewards™ Card comes with a $0 annual fee.

You can redeem rewards for

  1. Covering your purchase – Use your rewards when you checkout at Walmart.com.
  2. Statement Credit – Redeem rewards to lower your account balance.
  3. Gift Cards – Redeem rewards for gift cards from Walmart or from other retailers.
  4. Travel – Redeem rewards for flights, hotels and more.

The cardholder benefits include

  1. Security Alerts – You get notified via text, email, and phone if Capital One notices any potential suspicious activity on your account.
  2. Capital One Mobile App – Through which you can Manage your account anywhere and anytime. You can pay your bills, view your balance, check your transaction, and more.
  3. $0 Fraud Liability – If your card is lost or stolen, you will not be responsible for unauthorized charges.
  4. Card Lock– You can easily lock your card with a few taps if your card has been misplaced, lost or stolen.

How much you could earn with this card:

This depends on your monthly spending with your card.

For example,
Let’s say you spend $500 a month each at the following:

$500 at Walmart.com (you earn 5% back, that is, $25),
$500 at Walmart stores (you earn 2% back, that is, $10),
$500 for Restaurants and travel (you earn 2% back, that is, $10),
and $500 for Other purchases (you earn 1% back, that is $5).
Here you earn or save a total of 25+10+10+5 = $50 a month.
Let’s say you earn or save $50 each month. This amounts to $600 a year!

For every dollar, you earn 10 points. And in this example, you can earn 60000 points a year, which amounts to $600 in rewards value.

And as we mentioned above, you earn an additional 3% for the first 12 months of your purchases at Walmart stores when you use the card with the Walmart Pay app.

How are rewards earned :
Rewards are earned based on your net purchases you make through your Walmart Credit Card only, that is, your purchases made through this card minus any credits or returns. Reward percentages on purchases are earned and tracked as points, which can be monitored through your account at Walmart’s Capital One portal (walmart.capitalone.com ) or in the Capital One mobile app.

For redeeming your rewards to book a flight, car rental or hotel, you can do so by logging in to your rewards account at walmart.capitalone.com or by calling the number on the back of your card at least 72 hours in advance of your travel date. The number of points required for your travel redemption varies and is based upon the cost of the travel purchase.

Here is how it works: Simply multiply the cost of your travel purchase by 100. For example, if your travel purchase costs $200, 200 multiplied by hundred gives you 20,000 points. So, you will need 20,000 points to redeem it. If your travel transaction includes taxes, surcharges, and fees, these expenses will be included in the overall calculation to determine how many points are required for redemption.

Here are some more things you need to know about this rewards program and how to redeem your rewards

  1. Capital One uses merchant category codes to determine whether your purchase is within a certain category in order to calculate rewards. These merchant category codes are determined by the merchants.

  5. To redeem rewards for previous purchases, you simply have to make purchases using your rewards card, and then login to your account at walmart.capitalone.com or open your Capital One mobile app to redeem your points and receive an account credit for the cost of your purchase.

Quick Cash is not available in connection with purchase transactions made using Walmart Pay. Quick Cash transactions will be treated as part of the purchase segment of your account for the purpose of calculating interest.
  • To avoid paying interest charges: If you pay your statement’s “New Balance” in full by the due date each month, you will not be charged interest on any new transactions that post to the purchase balance. If you have been paying your account in full without interest charges, but fail to pay your next “New Balance” in full, interest will be charged on the unpaid balance. For cash advances and transfers, interest will start charging on the transaction date. Look for any offers that allow you to pay less than the total balance and avoid interest charges to new transactions that post to your purchase balance.
