Can you use Walmart pay to buy physical WM GC to use at SC pump?

Not at self checkout. Had to go to CS and have them do an override.

Tried it twice on my Penfed card and got credited within a couple of days.

Tried it twice on my husband's card and got credited for 1st txn but not for 2nd.

All 4 txns were using the United App and buying the $50 Walmart GC. What do I do now for my missing refund? The 800 number for Penfed is not very easy to reach plus don't know if I should mention that I bought a Walmart GC. Technically, it's for a travel related purchase. Please help :( .

I wouldn’t call. How long has it been since the purchase for the one that hasn’t been credited? Each of mine took different lengths of time. Some a couple of weeks.

It was on 11/24. I’ll wait for some more days. Thanks so much for your help as always.

The credit finally posted on 12/22. Interestingly that is when I used up the $50 Gift card at Walmart. Could be coincidence but I think once the gift card is used up the credit shows up. I know couldn't possibly be related but the other 3 gift cards I used up the same day I bought them and the credit showed up in 2 days. But thanks for all your help Corridor! . Happy New Year :)

Per Penfed CS, airport lounges count towards $100 travel credit.

Anyone used MPX in 2020?

I got the letter from them about no more online loading (Serve etc.) as well as a letter describing what abuse was in their opinion (bill payors etc.)

Those were generic letters, not about my usage.

I can't see this card staying the same over the long run though.

I bought $50 Walmart GC via MPX a few days ago and will update when/if the credits post.

Nevermind the fact you're calling to ask for a credit that you shouldn't get per T&Cs. Just generally don't call the bank. Glad you got all 4 though, it always pays to wait

Bought Home Depot GCs from MPX on 1/7 and am still waiting on the credit to post as of 1/14. Home Depot GCs worked across two different accounts in December of last year.

I'm having same issue with Lowes. When looking at reward points, there is no travel bonus, so I suspect it will not qualify for the credit.

bradpitch92 Jan 22, 2020 6:22 am

has anyone used the credit 'correctly' this year? Would like to see some DPs if those have posted yet, b/c I'm still waiting for my Walmart GC via MPX

I have used for actually paying for my bags on United & Jet Blue and got reimbursed :-)
