Folks, I will have the money in my account tomorrow morning, that’s not the issue here. I just wanted to know if they accepted a check for a gift card
Does Wal-mart accept personal checks as payment for their gift cards?

Yes I have bought a gift card with a personal check. Walmart doesn’t seem to care so long as they get their money.

Maybe you could borrow money from a friend or relative until payday. You also could write a check and post date it to the birthday person. You might be alright writing a check at Walmart but if something happens and the check clears before the monies are deposited there are lots of additional fees involved. Good-luck !

I hate to admit this, but I’ve been in your position more times than I care to admit and I have “floated” checks at Walmart. It usually takes 2-3 days to clear my bank.
Good luck!
