With its generous cashback program, the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card could help consumers who do much of their online shopping save some cash at Walmart.com and in the Walmart mobile app.

The Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card is a Mastercard and can be used anywhere that payment network is accepted. There’s also the Walmart Rewards Card, a private label store card with a similar cashback program that can only be used in the Walmart ecosystem. Neither card charges an annual fee.

• Earn cash back at a generous rate

  Earn 5% cash back at Walmart.com, including pickup and delivery. 2% back at Walmart stores and fuel stations, at restaurants and on travel. 1% back everywhere else Mastercard® is accepted

  Cash back can be redeemed as follows:

  • For a check
  • As a statement credit to your card
  • To cover recent purchases
  • For gift cards from Walmart or other retailers
  • Toward travel

• Sign-up bonus with Walmart Pay

  The sign-up bonus for this card lasts a year: 5% cash back in Walmart stores for the first 12 months after approval when you use your card with Walmart Pay

• $0 annual fee

  You don’t have to worry about an annual fee with the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card. That means as long as you don’t incur interest charges or other fees, everything you earn with this card is effectively net cash back in your bank account.

• Check online if you're pre-approved

  Capital One allows you to check online if you’re prequalified for the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card, which won’t impact your credit score like an actual application will. Note that prequalification does not guarantee approval, it just means you have a good chance once you actually apply.

  Plus, if you’re not preapproved for the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card (which can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted), you’ll be considered for the Walmart Rewards Card (a store card which can be used at Walmart, Murphy USA gas stations and Sam’s Club).

• Lower rate for in-store purchases

  You’ll only earn 5% on in-store Walmart purchases for the first year of having the card, and only when using Walmart Pay. After that, your earning rate drops down to 2%. It’s best to do as much of your shopping as possible at Walmart.com, which earns the higher cashback rate on an ongoing basis.

• Doesn't offer an introductory APR

  If you’re planning a big purchase, you might be looking for a credit card with an intro 0% APR period on purchases. Unfortunately, you don’t get that with the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card.

• Comes with a high regular APR

  The Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card comes with a 17.99%, 23.24% or 26.99% variable APR. Even on the low end of the range, that’s still higher than you’ll find with some other cards. Make sure to pay off your card in full each month to avoid incurring interest charges.

  That holds true even more so if you get the Walmart Rewards Card rather than the Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card, since the store card has a high 26.99% variable APR.

Compare it to the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card

 

If you don’t do a whole lot of your shopping at Walmart.com or in the Walmart app, a better cashback credit card for your spending habits might be the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card.

Earn 3% Cash Back on dining and entertainment; 3% Cash Back on popular streaming services; 3% Cash Back at grocery stores; 1% Cash Back on all other purchases. Earn 8% cash back on Capital One Entertainment purchases and tickets at Vivid Seats. And earn a one-time $200 cash bonus after you spend $500 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening. That’s a solid bonus with a low spend requirement.

There’s also a helpful 0% intro on purchases for 15 months, after which a 16.49% - 26.49% (variable) APR applies. If you know you’ve got a big purchase coming up, having more than a year to pay it off interest-free is a definite plus. Finally, the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card‘s annual fee is $0 and its foreign transaction fee is none.

The Capital One® Walmart Rewards® Card offers a cashback program that’s hard to beat for frequent Walmart shoppers. Just be aware that the in-store cashback rate drops after the sign-up bonus period ends, so plan to make most of your purchases at Walmart.com or in the Walmart mobile app.

However, if you only shop at Walmart occasionally, a better card for your needs might be the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card, with its robust cashback rewards on dining, entertainment, certain streaming services and at grocery stores.
