Does Wal-mart accept personal checks as payment for their gift cards? I’m just wondering if they do, gotta get a gift for somebody and payday isn’t till tomorrow! Has anybody done this?
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 :)

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

Yes, they do accept personal checks to purchase gift cards. However, if you’re writing a check for money not yet in your bank account that could get expensive. 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 !

They run it through their telebanking system and if there’s no money in the account, then they won’t take the check.

Walmart accepts checks for all of their services. Walmart.com is another matter.

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!

I am late in answering this question. Just for some info. Some Wal-marts use check21 and you will get the check back. It will not approve the check if the funds are not in the account There is no more floating of a check.
