If You Don't Have a PIN
If you have a plastic gift card that doesn't have a PIN, you can use it at a store but you cannot use it online at Walmart.com. For your security, Walmart.com can only accept cards with a PIN. Without a pin you cannot check the balance of a Walmart Gift Card, but you can trade it in for a new card with a PIN at any local Walmart store or Sam's Club in the United States.
