We’re not done yet!  Now that you know how to activate your Brinks card, let’s find out how to activate your Walmart card from Capital One (it’s pretty easy so might as well do it now!).

walmart.capitalone.com/activate – Activate Walmart Card (Guide & Reviews)

By 5 Comments

Walmart & Capital One:  Activate Your Card

 

You can either sign in or enroll to begin your card activation

If you need to enroll you’ll have to sign up for a Capital One account

Customers who already have an existing Capital One account can sign in

Go to walmart.capitalone.com/activate to begin either process

In case you haven’t gotten the memo, Walmart & Capital One have joined forces.  The result is a brand spanking new Walmart card.  However, a transition like this can also result in some consumer confusion.  For instance, many customers will need to sign up for a Capital One account to begin using the card.  If you’re one of these folks, there’s no need to worry (the process is EASY).

 

Signing Up For Capital One to Activate Your Walmart Card

  • Start by providing some basic info to help Capital One find you in the system
  • Next, click the Find Me button to proceed (you can enroll one you’re located)
  • If you have issues with enrollment try clicking the live chat link for help
  • Tip of the day:  make sure your information is correct before searching!

As we discussed early, you don’t have to enroll if you already have a Capital One account.  If you’re one of the lucky ducks who can bypass this step, simply click the sign in button to access your account.  Once logged in, you can proceed with activating your Walmart Card (similar process to beginning a Citi Balance Transfer).

 

What People Are Saying About the Walmart Capital One Card

Andrea L.  – To be honest, they had me at 5% back at Walmart.  Everything after that is just icing on the cake!

Jake F. – The transition process wasn’t all that bad and I am once again earning plenty of cash back.  Just glad to have my card back in action.

Benny P.  – I’ve always liked those Capital One commercials so kinda happy about it.
