Reload Function Overview

The reload function allows you to conveniently add money to any Walmart Gift Card. Before you can reload a Gift Card, you must add it to your Walmart.com account. Once it is saved, you can choose to make a one-time reload or set up automatic reloads. One-time reloads are single transactions, while the automatic reload option lets you add money on a recurring basis according to the settings of your choice.

To reload your Walmart Gift Card, follow these quick steps:

  1. Go into "My Account".
  2. In the box at the top of the page, click "Gift Card/Trial Offer Balances" to open your My Gift Cards page. You can save up to five cards here.
  3. Click the Reload Gift Card button next to the card you'd like to reload and then follow the instructions and enter the requested information.

To reload your Gift Card, go to My Gift Cards.

To make a one-time Gift Card reload, follow these steps:

  1. Go into "My Account".
  2. Click "Gift Card/Trial Offer Balances" to open your My Gift Cards page.
  3. Click Reload Gift Card next to the card you'd like to reload. (You will need to save a Gift Card before you can enable reloads).

Setting Up an Automatic Reload

Setting up an automatic reload allows you to add money to your Walmart Gift Card on a regular basis. (For example, if you have a school-age child with a regular allowance, you can use a Walmart Gift Card's automatic reload feature to automatically add their weekly allowance to the card.)

To set up an automatic Gift Card reload, follow these steps:

  1. Go into "My Account".
  2. Click "Gift Card/Trial Offer Balances" to open your My Gift Cards page.
  3. Click the Reload Gift Card button next to the card you'd like to reload. (You will need to save a Gift Card before you can enable reloads).
  4. On the Reload Options page, click Automatic Reload.
  5. On the Automatic Reload page, enter the settings for reloading your Gift Card.

To set up an automatic reload, go to My Gift Cards.

Please note: For Walmart Gift Cards, the minimum reload amount is $10.00 and the maximum balance is $1,000.00.

For example, if your preference is set to "Load exact amount of $50.00 every week", but your balance is $975.00, the reload attempt would be canceled because the resulting balance would be over $1,000.00. As soon as the balance drops to $950.00 or less, your automatic reloads would resume.

Suspending an Automatic Reload

Checking the box marked "Temporarily suspend my automatic reload settings" will pause your automatic reloads without deleting your settings. (For example, if you are going out of town and wish to stop the reloads while you go on vacation, you can suspend the automatic reloads until you return home.)

To suspend your auto-reloads, just check the box and click Submit.

To end a suspension, just uncheck the same box and click Submit. Your automatic reloads will resume according to your previous settings.

Stopping / Ending an Automatic Reload

When setting up an automatic reload, entering an end date is optional. This means that your automatic Gift Card reload will continue until you decide to stop it. If you would like to end an automatic reload, but did not initially set an end date, please follow these steps:

  1. Go into "My Account".
  2. Click "Gift Card/Trial Offer Balances" to open your My Gift Cards page.
  3. Click the Reload Gift Card button next to the appropriate card.
  4. On the Reload Options page, click the Automatic Reload button. On the Automatic Reload page, enter a date into the "End Date" field. Your automatic reloads will stop on the date that you select.

To end an automatic reload, go to My Gift Cards.

Please note: The automatic reload settings for this card will be erased when the end date is reached. If you would prefer to save your settings for use at a later time, please see the Suspending an Automatic Reload option outlined above.
