I was thinking all of Capital One cards are available in contactless now, but maybe I am wrong (Chase Visa and AmEx are the other issuers with that as well I think). And we all know Costco went the opposite direction with no tap support at the stores, but issued the card from day 1 as such.
I think the symbol is on the back of most of their other cards, so it wouldn't necessarily appear on the website for the Walmart card. Walmart not having contactless also doesn't imply that the card doesn't have it (Amazon doesn't accept contactless except at Whole Foods, after all, yet their cards still have it IIRC).
That said, Walmart probably did make not including it a condition of the agreement with Capital One.
