Walmart
Money Card Requires Personal Information to Activate, $3 Fee Kept

I purchased a Walmart money card to set up automatic payments for a few bills I have. I decided to no longer put my automated bills on my credit card due to a couple of companies charging my account at any given moment. After reading how "easy" it is to reload the card and to get one I figured this would be the best way to go about it. So I loaded a card for $125. Oo and when I call to activate it they ask me for all my personal information including my social. I don't understand the need of a social if the card states it does not run your credit. Now I'm stuck with a gift card of $125. Oo that I cannot use for the initial purpose that I got it for, and paid a $3.00 activation fee which Walmart gets to keep. $3. OO is not a lot at all but imagine how many people do this. That is how they make their money. I'm beyond upset.
