How to Use a Whistle Card at Walmart
Got a Whistle card for a Walmart campaign and wondering how to use it? You’re in the right place. Whether you're shopping in-store or using the Walmart app, here’s a quick guide to help you redeem your perks.
First Things First: What’s a Whistle Card?
A Whistle card is a prepaid digital Visa card you receive as a perk for participating in certain Hummingbirds campaigns. You can use it just like any regular Visa card—online or in-store—until the balance runs out. Here's more info on that.
How to Use Your Whistle Card In-Store at Walmart
You have three easy ways to pay with your Whistle card at Walmart:
Option 1: Add it to Walmart Pay
Walmart Pay is a contactless payment method in the Walmart app. It’s super convenient and works directly from your phone!
Here’s how:
Download the Walmart app (if you haven’t already).
Open the app and tap “Account” > “Wallet.”
Select “Add a new payment method” and choose Visa.
Enter your Whistle card details (card number, expiration, CVV).
At checkout in-store, open Walmart Pay in the app and scan the QR code at the register to pay.
Note: You’ll need to log into your Whistle account to grab your card number, expiration date, and CVV in order to add it to Walmart Pay.
Then, at checkout, when Walmart Pay pulls up, make sure to select your Whistle card as the payment method before scanning the QR code at the register!
Option 2: Pay Your Way + Use Whistle Funds Elsewhere
If you prefer not to use this option at Walmart, you can always pay with your preferred method of personal payment and use the funds on your Whistle card to shop elsewhere!
Option 3: Request a Physical Card from Whistle Rewards
If you have at least 7–9 days before your campaign deadline and still have plenty of time to create and upload your content, you can request a physical Whistle Rewards card. Once it arrives, you can use it just like any other Visa debit card at millions of locations worldwide.
If your campaign window is ending soon, we strongly recommend choosing Option 1 or Option 2 instead so you don’t run into delays with posting.
How to request your physical Whistle Rewards card:
Open your Whistle app and go to your digital wallet.
On the bottom left of the wallet screen, tap the account management menu.
Select “Request a Physical Card.”
Complete the short form with your mailing information.
Review and accept the Cardholder Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Electronic Signature Agreement.
Delivery timeline:
Your card will typically arrive within 5 to 7 business days once your request is processed.
Where you can use it:
Your Whistle Rewards card works anywhere Visa is accepted, both online and in-store, at more than 30 million retailers worldwide.
