My daughter recieved a $Walmart Visa Money Card with $100 on it for her 3 yr old Christmas present from her grandparents. We put this away and were planning on using it closer to summer when she was a little older and when she would appreciate getting a gift a bit more. That said we forgot about it until the following Christmas when we were going through Christmas cards, addresses etc.
We went to Walmart to use the card and found out it had expired in November. We asked how we could get a new card since they had taken the money and we hadn't gotten anything in return. We were told to call the number on the card, which we did. HOWEVER you can not speak with anyone unless you have a valid card.
We ended up speaking with a Walmart manager who told us once the card expires the money is gone and nothing could be done!
THIS IS THEFT!!! $100 was spent on the card, it was not used. Walmart just decited to confinsate the money, because we didn't use it right away! What difference does it make how long it takes us to use the money. They were given the money upfront which they put into there bank account and collected interest on...
Do not purchase!
