Convenient for you and fun for them, the Walmart Gift Card makes a great gift for anyone.

gift card, you can't use for all the fun stuff...

But Walmart calls that fun...

$10 only funding. Must be target market to appease bums and panhandlers outside their stores with something they think will be used constructively (as opposed to handing person cash).

Can always use the giftcard to purchase a pre-paid Visa/Mastercard giftcard, then buy your booze and smokes.

I don't Wally World allows you to buy cards with cards.

My old church used to give these kinds of gift cards to community members in need around the holidays (but with like $200, not $10 on them) so people could afford holiday meals, but they didnt want addicts buying alcohol instead of feeding their kids. Seemed like a great gesture at the time, but now that I'm old enough to be aware of people who sell food stamps for drugs I see how this could have easily been used for the same thing.

Thanks for showing real world use case for these.

Food stamp thing was replaced by food cards in many States. Same fraud still goes on - just walk down to store with you. Hand you card. You shop. Leave store, give me back my card and my cash.

Worse is corner stores aka bodegas where such handouts are outright misappropriated by filthy owners who cash exchange food funds at 50% or less of value. Many of these stores are owned by foreign nationals.
