I bought a Walmart Visa Moneycard as a gift since it says "Easy to get. Easy to use" and can be used anywhere Visa debit is accepted, including ATMs. I thought this would be better than a Walmart gift card, since it can be used anywhere. This is all it says on the front of course. I didn't think I should have to read the fine print until I got home. So, the cashier swiped it and placed $50.00 on it at the register and I took it home. However, upon reading the fine print, I found that the receipt for the card was actually what I needed to place the money on the card. The card was still worth nothing. And at that point, I no longer had the receipt, so the $50.00 was gone. I decided to call customer service to be sure nothing could be done, but their customer service number is electronic and completely inaudible. Of course, there is no way to speak to a real person. So, I went online to try to contact someone, and they only provide a mailing address. So, I sent a letter to which I will never receive a reply. Do NOT buy one of these stupid cards. Just give money. I don't know what I was thinking.
