CARD DETAILS
Where to Find the Walmart Card Number and PIN
Standard Walmart Canada gift cards use a 16-digit numeric card number and a separate 4-digit numeric PIN.
- On a physical card, look on the back for the card number and the PIN area; the PIN may be beneath a protective scratch-off strip.
- For an eGift card, open the delivery email or digital card image and locate the card number and PIN.
- Enter only the gift-card credentials—not an order number, receipt number, reference number, barcode value, or tracking number.
Walmart prepaid cards are different
A Walmart-branded Visa, Mastercard, or other prepaid payment card is not the same as a standard Walmart Canada store gift card. Use the website and instructions printed on that prepaid card instead.
COMMON PROBLEMS
Walmart Gift Card Balance Troubleshooting
Try these Walmart-specific checks before assuming the card has no value.
Walmart.ca asks you to verify your identity
The balance page may display a press-and-hold shopper-verification screen. Complete that step on Walmart.ca, then continue to the balance form.
The card number or PIN is rejected
Re-enter the 16-digit card number and 4-digit PIN without spaces. Make sure you are not entering a receipt, order, barcode, or reference number.
The online checker will not load
Try another browser, disable a VPN or aggressive privacy extension temporarily, or use Walmart Canada’s in-store or phone balance option.
The balance is different than expected
Review recent purchases and keep the activation receipt. Contact Walmart Canada if the card was newly activated, declined, or shows activity you do not recognize.
STILL HAVE AN UNUSED BALANCE?
Don't plan to use your Walmart gift card?
