It might be a store credit card from the world's largest retailer, but it's beginning to look a lot like a bank credit card. Wal-Mart announced this week it is beefing-up its private label credit card, offering cardholders gas rebates, cash access, and the option to choose a payment due date. Under the new card program, cardholders will receive a 3-cents-per-gallon discount on Wal-Mart gasoline purchases, and the ability to receive $20 cash back at time of purchase, with no additional fees. Wal-Mart is also offering the option to purchase AT&T pre-paid long distance minutes at a deeply discounted rate, and to make in-store payments at any Wal-Mart register. Wal-Mart's 11 million existing customers will automatically receive their new cards in the mail by the end of this month. New customers can apply by logging on to the gift registry at any Wal-Mart store, and receive "express credit" for immediate use.

I got a notice in my bill that I'd be getting an "upgraded" card, but it didn't say what all of the benefits would be. I guess that will come with the card.
I KNEW MONTHS AGO... BUT...I tried to get $20.00 back...it DIN'T work at my store...MAYBE WE DIDN'T GET THE DOWNLOAD YET??? Was to START TODAY!!! I could not see them ENCODING IT ONLY ON THE "NEW" CARDS AND NOT LETTING THE OLD CARDS DO THE SAME THING...
GEORGE, They did say I'd get a new card to get the upgraded benefits. Maybe there is something new encoded in the card.
Flyingifr, Maybe you just have an old store. I don't like shopping at the older ones as much, but there's a new one near me that I LOVE. I could live in Wal*Mart. I go in for one or two things and spend $100! (Of course, GEORGE probably loves me for doing that--makes his stock go up!)
Re: Re: New Improved Walmart Card!!!!!!!!!! YES it is an "OLDER" store...but we just UP-GRADED ETHERNET (a year or so ago)
