How Can I Cancel a WalMart Credit Card Payment?

Canceling credit payments has never been as easy with Walmart as it is. Walmart accepts credit card payments and cancellations in four main ways: over the phone, online, via mail and in-store. All these are accessible at both Walmart and Sam's Club, However, for Sam's Club, it only applies if you're a Sam's Club member.

The Capital One Walmart Rewards Card and the Walmart Rewards Card are the two credit cards offered by Walmart, The Capital One Rewards card can be used anywhere, while the Walmart Rewards Card can only be used at Walmart, and Capital One is in charge of both of the cards. You can Contact Capital One by mailing a letter to the address listed on your most recent billing statement or phoning the company's customer service number to terminate either of these credit cards. You can find all this information online, on the back of your card or on your monthly statement.

How to Get Your Walmart Credit Card Cancelled

If you do need to cancel your card right away, you can call the customer support phone number on your bill and a Walmart credit customer care agent will assist you.

You can also choose to terminate your Walmart credit card by writing to Capital One at the listed address included in your statement. You might wish to send the letter by certified mail to ensure delivery. Include your name, your billing address and your account number in the letter, along with a request to terminate the account.

If the letter you are writing is just a follow-up to a phone conversation, you can also provide the time and date of the contact, as well as the name of the agent with whom you previously had spoken to.

What Happens When Your Walmart Card Is Closed?

In most cases, even after you have canceled your credit card, you are still liable for the whole outstanding credit card debt. Collect all the cards that were given and destroy them to avoid any more charges from other authorized users of your Walmart credit card. Notify any authorized users who don't reside near you that you would like to terminate your Walmart card immediately.

Any outstanding amount will be subject to the variable annual percentage rate (APR) that's on your card until the account is paid in full.

If you have collected points on a Capital One or Walmart Rewards Card, you may not be able to take advantage of the promotion if you terminate the card. The Capital One Walmart Rewards Card offers up to 5% cashback on items purchased at Walmart.com and 2% on travel, restaurants and purchases made in all Walmart stores and Murphy filling stations. A 1% cashback is also made on purchases made in any store where Mastercard is authorized.

At the beginning of the first 12 months, Walmart Benefits Card users will get identical rewards on several Walmart purchases, plus 5% back on in-store purchases.

How Does Closing Your Walmart Card Affect Your Credit Score?

Capital One always sends information about your credit card usage to the three main credit agencies: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. Depending on how long you've had the card, closing it may have a negative influence on your credit history. If your Walmart credit card is the one that's your oldest, you can also pay off the entire debt while leaving the account active or else the mean of all your accounts will decrease, thus lowering your total credit score.
