Retail-Focused Credit Cards

Walmart and Capital One Have Created Two Co-Branded Credit Cards

Walmart has partnered with Capital One in order to produce two co-branded credit cards. The new credit cards will be available to consumers beginning on September 24th, and interested parties are able to apply through either the Walmart website or through the app, as well as on the Capital One website. If customers are approved, they will be able to use the card instantly. The credit cards are also able to be loaded into Walmart Pay or in the Walmart app.

One of the co-branded credit cards is titled the Capital One Walmart Master card, and it has the ability to provide money back to customers at five percent on all goods purchased through Walmart using Walmart Pay. However, after 12 months of use the card five percent is reduced to two percent. The other card is titled the Walmart Rewards Card, and it provides the same features, but it only applies to purchase made directly through Walmart.
