A Walmart Gift Card is a prepaid card you can use at any Walmart store or on Walmart.com. It’s a popular gift—and super convenient for shopping for anything from groceries to gadgets. But after a few purchases, you may not remember how much is left. That’s where checking your Walmart Gift Card balance becomes essential—so you don’t end up surprised at the checkout counter.
A few weeks ago, I was at Walmart picking up a few items and decided to use a leftover gift card from the holidays. But I had no idea how much was left on it. Thankfully, I remembered I could check the balance online. I pulled out my phone, went to the balance check page, entered the card number and PIN, and found out I still had $18.64 left—just enough to cover my purchase.
That quick check saved me from embarrassment and let me use every last dollar on the card.
