Best credit card to use at Walmart.

Online Shopping

Walmart is the country's largest grocer and one of its largest general retailers, but it sits in an awkward spot for credit-card rewards. Most cards' grocery 3-5% bonuses explicitly exclude Walmart (it codes as a discount store, not a supermarket), and Walmart's gas stations code as Walmart, not gas. Walmart.com purchases code as online shopping on most cards, which opens up the strongest non-co-branded earn rates — in-store purchases generally fall back to flat-rate cashback unless you're using a Walmart-issued card.
