About the Walmart Canada gift card
Walmart Canada gift cards are issued by Walmart Canada Corp. and can be used at any Walmart Canada location or on the official walmart.ca website. They come in physical and digital (eGift) formats, with denominations typically ranging from $5 up to $500 depending on the seller.
Because Walmart's catalogue is so broad — groceries, pharmacy, clothing, electronics, home goods, toys — these cards make a flexible gift for nearly anyone. Note that Walmart Canada gift cards are only valid in Canada; U.S. Walmart gift cards are a separate product and cannot be used at Walmart Canada locations or walmart.ca.
Where to buy
- In Walmart Canada stores — at the customer service desk or on the gift-card rack near the checkout.
- On walmart.ca — physical or digital cards delivered by mail or email.
- Other retailers — some grocery and pharmacy chains carry Walmart gift cards on their multi-brand racks.

Common questions
Does the Walmart gift card expire?
Under Canadian provincial law, retailer gift cards generally cannot expire. The card itself may show no expiry, but always confirm on Walmart Canada's help page for current terms.
Can I use it for prescriptions, lottery tickets, or other restricted items?
Some categories (alcohol, tobacco, lottery, postage stamps, prescription drugs in some provinces) may be excluded by law or by Walmart's policy. Check at the store or with the customer service desk.
Can I get cash back from a Walmart gift card?
Generally no, except where required by provincial law (some provinces allow cashing out small remaining balances). Walmart's customer service can confirm.
What if my card is lost or stolen?
If you have the original receipt and the card is registered, contact Walmart Canada customer service. Without a receipt, recovery is unlikely — treat the card like cash.
