Beware when buying a walmart prepaid visa for online purchases. If its not a purchase that can be made by a child they (GE moneybank) will deny your transaction. I bought my walmart money to buy my medicine overseas because like many Americans I have no health insurance. The medicine that I need is perfectly legal and I used to get with my insurance. At first my walmart card worked fine but not any more. It gets refused on every overseas pharmacy that I try to use it on. Now I use another Visa and it works just fine. When I bought my walmart money card I didn't realize that I was getting a prepaid Chucky Cheese gift card.

I got a Money Card and within 5 days I was told the date was wrong and to put one they gave me down and then I couldn't buy anything bause the CVC # on back was wrong. They did nothing so I feared I was hacked and found a place on line that I bought with the 250.00 I had in it. It was really bad and had to buy something I didn't need just to gt my money out. I was then able to close the card.

Card is a scam!
This card is a scam by GE capital and Walmart!
No funds are available to the consumer until the permanent card arrives in the mail.
This has been reported to several regulatory agencies.
This one is ripe for class action.
Card is a scam!

I purchased an Walmart Money Card for my cousin and kept the authorization number so that it could not be used by anyone but my cousin. The card was stolen in the mail. When I called Walmart asked them to cancel the card because it was stolen. They told me that they gave the authorization number to the theft because they called for the authorization number. I asked for a refund of my money since they gave the authorization code to the theft. The employee and then the manager told me that there was nothing they could do to get me back my money even though it was their fault that the card was used by the thefts. I will never ever use a pre paid card by Walmart ever again and that includes their gift cards because only a STUPID company would give the authorization number for a card to someone who doesnt have the number. I HATE WALMARTY MONEY CARD with a passion.

I have had my Walmart Money Card for a couple of years. I recently started advertising my quilts for sale on Backpage.com. I posted several ads in a couple of different states on Backpage and debited the card a total of $78 for advertising. I used 3 moneypaks to add money to my card totalling 120 bucks, nothing outrageous. I went to walmart today to use my card to purchase a DVD knowing that I still had $45 dollars OF MY OWN MONEY on the card, it was declined. I ask the cashier to hold my purchase while I go call customer service. My call is routed to "loss prevention" ???? Seriously?? In speaking with the non-english speaking person, she advises me that I have done "several transaction with a merchant that they do not deal with." Each transaction was only $4.50. Advertising on Backpage is cheap. I asked her what she means by "a merchant they do not deal with" she avoided the question and asked me why am I advertising with that company???? And that she would assume that I read the Terms and Conditions before I used the card. Really?? I asked her what it said. She claimed that it states their card is not to be used for business purposes. What??? I have used my card MANY TIMES for business purposed for much more than this amount. I have used my card for GOOGLE ADWORDS accounts, to set up a website, etc. Many times. AND these cost me way more than $78! More like 300-500 bucks a pop. This is crazy. So the representative goes on to tell me that they are closing my card officially on Aug 8th and that she doubts I will ever be able to get another card through them. HAHA like I would want one. I would like to make it clear to anyone reading this that my address is up to date on my account, my email address is up to date, my phone number is up to date on my account. At NO POINT did anyone ever attempt to contact me from Walmart Money Card to inquire about my transactions. I would also like to point out they did not block my account because of several transactions, they blocked my account due to my dealing with Backpage.com. Thats crazy. I would also like to point out that when I got home I reviewed the term and conditions of using the card. It says NOTHING about using it with backpage.com, it says nothing about not using your card for "business purposes" NOTHING. I am so livid. If ANYONE out there wants to get together and file a complaint against these idiots PLEASE email me. I will gladly join in!
