You can read the full terms quoted below: (bolding mine)

Registration Terms and Conditions

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Agreement”) BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE MERCHANT OFFER(S) (as defined below). BY REGISTERING FOR ANY MERCHANT OFFER IN THE PROGRAM, YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES (collectively, "AXP", "we" or "us"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICK HERE amexnetwork.com TO RETURN TO THE AMERICAN EXPRESS NETWORK WEBSITE. THE PROGRAM AND THE MERCHANT OFFERS IN THE PROGRAM ARE PROVIDED TO ONLY THOSE ELIGIBLE CARDMEMBERS (AS DEFINED BELOW) WHO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

A. General
The Program and the Merchant Offers (as defined below) are provided by AXP through a computer having access to the Internet ("Computer"). Under the Program, participating merchants will offer Registered Cardmembers a statement credit upon completion of an Eligible Transaction (as defined below), as set forth below and in the offer (the “Merchant Offer(s)”). “Registered Cardmembers” are defined as Eligible Cardmembers (as defined below) who have registered an Eligible Card (as defined below) on the Program website (the “Program Site”).

B. Eligibility
To be eligible to redeem the Merchant Offer, you must a holder of an Eligible Card, 18 years of age or older at the time of registration for the Merchant Offer and a legal U.S. resident (each, an “Eligible Cardmember”). An “Eligible Card” is defined as a valid consumer American Express® Credit or Charge Card, in good standing, issued in the U.S. either by American Express or by a licensed third party bank issuer of American Express-branded Cards (“Licensed Issuers”) on the Program Site during the valid dates provided on the Program Site or in the email or direct mail you received. Certain AXP Cards, including HealthCare Related Cards, any Prepaid Cards and Corporate Cards are not considered Eligible Cards. Transactions made on another card account or on a supplementary card with a different account number are not considered Eligible Cards. To participate in the Program, Eligible Cardmembers must comply with this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions applicable to the Eligible Cardmember’s participation in the Program.

C. Merchant Offer Redemption and Payment Terms
Registered Cardmembers must complete 2 separate transactions of at least $40 or more at any Walmart Store or online at www.walmart.com. (each, an “Eligible Transaction”) between 11/18/08 and 11:59 PM EST on 12/18/08. You may register only one Eligible Card per registration and there is a limit of one (1) statement credit per Cardmember. Certain Merchant Offers may require only one registration for all such Merchant Offers; others may require separate registration for each Merchant Offer. The Eligible Card that you register for a particular Merchant Offer is referred to as the “Registered Card” for that Merchant Offer. To receive your Merchant Offer, your Eligible Transaction(s) must be charged in full to the Registered Card for that Merchant Offer. Each Merchant Offer is only valid during the times and on the conditions specified for each such Merchant Offer. Your savings from the Merchant Offer will be credited to the Registered Card account for that Merchant Offer as a statement credit. Generally it takes 5 business days, but it may take up to 2 billing cycles from the date of your purchase for such credit to be posted to the Card account.

If you charge your purchase to a Registered Card account that accrues finance charges, the balance upon which finance charges are assessed will include the gross amount of your purchase (i.e., without any savings from the Merchant Offer being applied), and you will be responsible to pay amounts due as provided in the terms of your Cardmember Agreement. If the Registered Card account is a charge card account on which you have activated a flexible payment feature (e.g., ExPO), the gross amount of your purchase will be charged to the flexible payment feature if it is eligible for that treatment, while the savings from the Merchant Offer may be credited to the due in full balance of your charge card account. In this case, finance charges will accrue on the flexible payment feature balance until that balance is paid in full.

D. Merchant Offer Terms and Conditions
THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY TO EVERY MERCHANT OFFER, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFED IN THE TEXT OF THE OFFER OR AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE: SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY; OFFER CAN ONLY BE REDEEMED BY FOLLOWING THE REDEMPTION INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE OFFER (EITHER VIA EMAIL OR DIRECT MAIL) OR ON THE PROGRAM SITE; OFFER CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER PROMOTIONS OR OFFERS; OFFER NOT VALID ON GIFT CARDS, GIFT CERTIFICATES, OR PRIOR PURCHASES. OTHER RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. NO SUBSTITUTIONS OR TRANSFERS WILL BE ALLOWED.

E. Availability/Interruption.
You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for performance degradation, service interruption, or delays due to conditions on the Internet or due to any error or malfunction of the Equipment or System. You acknowledge that AXP, ISP and Service Providers shall not be liable to you if the Program is unavailable, interrupted or suspended for any reason. If the Program is not available, interrupted or suspended, you agree that your sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement. "Equipment" means the Computer and active internet connection through which you intend to access the Program and use the Program Website. "System" means the hardware and software owned or operated by AXP, an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”), or any third-party service provider engaged by AXP to facilitate or administer the Program (“Service Provider”).
The Program is available only at the Program Website and cannot be accessed by any other means. AXP reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Program, or suspend or cancel any Merchant Offer or other sales transaction if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Program, as determined by AXP at any time and in its sole discretion.

L. Governing Law
The Program and this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

M. Dispute Resolution
Cardmembers hereby agree that any and all disputes, claims, causes of action, or controversies (“Claims”) arising out of or in connection with the Program or this Agreement shall be resolved, upon the election by the Cardmember or American Express, by arbitration pursuant to this provision and the code of procedures of either the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM. FURTHER, NEITHER AMERICAN EXPRESS NOR THE CARDMEMBER WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT THE CARDMEMBER WOULD HAVE IF THE CARDMEMBER WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between American Express and the Cardmember alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make awards is limited to awards to American Express and the Cardmember alone. Furthermore, claims brought by either party against the other may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against any third party, unless agreed to in writing by all parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement and without waiving either party’s right to appeal such decision, should any portion of this provision be deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire provision (other than this sentence) shall not apply.

This paragraph shall survive termination of the Agreement.

N. Assignment
We may assign or delegate all or part of American Express’s rights or duties under this Agreement without such assignment or delegation being considered a change to this Agreement, and without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement, or delegate any of your duties hereunder, without American Express's prior written consent, and any assignment or delegation by you in breach of the terms hereof shall be null and void ab initio.

O. Entire Agreement
This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Program, and may only be amended as described in this Agreement. No waiver by us of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of, or consent to, any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement. If any part of this Agreement is found to be void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. The failure to enforce any term of this Agreement on one occasion shall not prevent enforcement on any other occasion or the enforcement of any other term. Headings and captions shall not be considered included for purposes of interpretation or application hereof, but are for convenience only.

I would expect that if you registed and get a confirmation afterwards that you are good to go. Though I am not positive.

I called Citi and they confirmed that if the Amex/Wal Mart terms and conditions allowed co-branded, I would indeed receive a statement credit

Although this seems to be legit, I find it odd that so much info is required, particularly the security code. Why would Amex need your code just to sign you up for a promo?

What's the scenario they're attempting to prevent? Someone steals your card number and then tries to sign up for a bonus credit that they would never receive anyway?

I too find it very odd. I first became aware of this promo about two weeks ago via this thread on slickdeals.net that now has over 200 posts. Like you there have been numerous other people there who've expressed concern as to why they would need all of your credit card info to sign up for this promo. That being said by all indications the promo sign-up link does indeed appear to be legit and there are people on SD that have reported that they have already received their statement credit.

FWIW, I made two back-to-back purchases at Wal-Mart on my AMEX Blue Cash card this past Sunday and already received the $20 statement credit today.

You may register only one Eligible Card per registration and there is a limit of one (1) statement credit per Cardmember.
OK, does this mean those of us with multiple American Express cards can only register one card only?

Thanks, OP. I typed in the wrong security code and the page came back telling me the information was incorrect...so I guess that's good news. It knew the correct one(?)

I took a look through that thread and other discussions found though a search. There are some complaints about Amex reducing the credit line of their cardholders who shop at Walmart. If this is true, and it affects a large number of cardholders, then this promo is essentially a trap. A dastardly trap indeed. Snidely Whiplash would be proud.
