  • Question
    Where is the gift card number on the gift card?

    Top Answerer
    Look at the back of the card. The exact location could vary, but the number should be bold-faced and not near any title mentioning the word "pin." As described, you may have to scratch away at the silver surface to reveal it.

  • Question
    Can I use a gift card in my online account at the store?
    Christopher
    Top Answerer
    Yes. Regardless of your addition of the gift card online, you can still use that gift card at the store, but this will decrease your available amount for the next use online.

  • Question
    Where is the four-digit PIN on the gift card?
    Community Answer
    It's on the back underneath the silver-surfaced scratch-away strip. For digital gift cards, Walmart will add the card to your account and send you your PIN within your confirmation email.
