Not every store credit card gets good reviews, but Walmart is a clear exception to this. WalletHub, the "first-ever website to offer free credit scores and full credit reports that are updated on a daily basis," gives the card a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating.
The Walmart credit card is great for those with fair or better credit and who regularly shop at Walmart. You can use it to save money at their branded gas pumps, shopping at their physical or online store, or using their Walmart app.
For the first year you use the card, they have a promotion that will let you earn 5 points for every dollar spent on in-store purchases. If you use the card on Walmart.com, you'll get 5% back on purchases forever.
Like most store credit cards that only require a fair credit score in order to qualify, the Walmart credit card is a great credit-building tool. Just remember not to carry a balance from one month to the next, as all your savings will be lost to the interest you'll have to pay.
The Walmart credit card can be used at all Walmart stores, Walmart.com, Sam's Club, their associated gas stations, and Walmart and Murphy USA gas stations.
In addition to their store credit card, Walmart also partners with Capital One for their Capital One Walmart Rewards Mastercard. The same online link works for both cards, and if your credit doesn't allow you to qualify for the Capital One Walmart card, you will likely be approved for the Walmart store credit card.

If we are unable to pre-approve you for this card, we will automatically consider you for the Walmart Rewards® Card."
You can pay your Walmart credit card by logging in to your online account.
Once you've signed in, click the "Make a Payment" button. Then fill in the payment date field and the amount you're paying.
The first time you pay on this card, you'll need to link your banking account with the routing number to release the funds. You can also set up automatic recurring payments at the same time.
