If you've ever used a Walmart gift card before, you must have probably been through a dead end when looking for your card's transaction history.
Well, that's simply because the Walmart gift card doesn't have a portal (or say dashboard) on its own that lets you manage the card—and if you haven't added to card to a Walmart account yet, the fact is, you'll find it even more difficult to manage the card.
There's an easy and straightforward way to view your Walmart gift card transaction history, and that's what I'll be showing you in this guide.
How To Check Your Walmart Gift Card Transaction History
Walmart lets you check your gift card transaction history both online and locally, and you can use any depending on which is best for you. I'll cover all methods just so you can best choose which one is ideal for you.
How To View Walmart Gift Card Transaction History Online
For sure, viewing or checking your Walmart gift card transaction history online is the most straightforward way you can have.
Usually, you should be able to check your Walmart gift card transaction history at any time if you've added the card to your Walmart account either on the Walmart website or through the Walmart app.
To do so:
- Download the Walmart app and sign in to your account.
- Add your Walmart gift card by entering the card number and PIN.
- After doing so, you should see your balance and transaction history directly in the app.
If you prefer viewing your transaction history online, Walmart has an ideal process for its website users.
To do so:
- Go to the official Walmart gift card balance page.
- Enter the gift card number and PIN.
- You can view your balance and past transactions (if you are logged into your Walmart account).
That's how easy it is to view your Walmart gift card transaction history online.
How To View Walmart Gift Card Transaction History Locally
If you don't want to download the Walmart app or log in to your account to view your card's transaction history, you can still check it locally by calling Walmart's dedicated number for gift card management.
All you need to do is call the number 1-888-537-5503 and request your transaction history.
For sure, this number is most often used for the card balance check, but you can also request your transaction history through it and see if the representative can assist you with that.
Alternatively, if you don't mind getting to a Walmart store, you can just walk into any of Walmart's store locations and tell a representative that you'd like to access your Walmart gift card transaction history. Of course, they'll need your gift card number and PIN to access your account, and from there, they can even print the transaction history out for you.
Can You View A Walmart Gift Card Transaction History Without Redeeming The Card?
Usually, you'll need to redeem a Walmart gift card to an account to view its transaction history. That's just what the Walmart gift card terms say.
However, if there's any Walmart store nearby, you can just visit the store and ask if you can check your Walmart gift card transaction history without having to redeem it to your account.
I know it's kind of tricky, but that's probably the only option you have if you don't want to redeem the card.
Does Every Walmart Gift Card Have A Transaction History?
Yes, every Walmart gift card has a transaction history that can only be accessed once the card has been redeemed and linked to the Walmart app or a Walmart account in general.
Final Thoughts
The Walmart gift card is very convenient whenever you want to shop at Walmart. But just as with any other card, it's always good to have a record of how often you use your card for transactions, and luckily, Walmart lets you check the transaction history of your card.
That said, you can either check your card's transaction history online (through the Walmart app) or locally (through a phone call or by visiting a nearby Walmart store).
Of all the aforementioned methods, I'd highly recommend you go for the method through the Walmart app since this one is convenient and wouldn't require you to reach out to anyone.
