Many con artists use the Walmart name. Call Walmart itself to check on any "deal". And don't call the number the website gives, look up your local Walmart's number!
No. They may allow you to purchase stuff for the check if you are a regular and well known customer. But they would not allow you to encash a cheque. You can cash a payroll check at Walmart but you may not want to if you're concerned about protecting yourself from identity theft. Walmart uses Certegy as their check verification company. Certegy shares your information (State ID number, Social Security Number, and your employer information) with ChexSystems, Equifax, casino gaming technology companies and marketing firms. Certegy was sued in a class action lawsuit when one of their financial analysts sold more than 8,000,000 customer records. If you cash your payroll checks at Walmart, your personal information is now in a Certegy database. When you cash your check at Walmart, you have effectively contracted with Certegy to collect and share your personal information. You are not entitled to a full disclosure of who they share your information with, because that is considered proprietary information.
For a fee, checks can be cashed at Walmart. The fee is determined by the value of the check. There is a dollar limit on the checks that can be cashed. This limit can be variable based on the cash available at the store.
At this time, Walmart does not give its customers the option of getting cash back on a purchase made with one of its gift cards.
Check the terms and conditions on the back of the card - it may not be allowed in some states. I just did it, literally 30 minutes ago, in Ohio. So I'll say yes..but still check the T&C on the card.
