The Capital One Walmart Rewards Card and the Walmart Rewards Card are no longer available for new applications, as the partnership between Capital One and Walmart has concluded.
The End of a Credit Card Partnership
Previously, Walmart partnered with Capital One to offer co-branded credit cards such as the Capital One Walmart Rewards Card and the Walmart Rewards Card. These cards provided specific benefits and rewards for purchases made at Walmart and Walmart.com. However, this partnership has officially ended.
As a result, Capital One no longer issues these specific Walmart-branded credit cards. This means if you were looking to apply for one of these cards, they are no longer an option.
What Happens to Existing Cardholders?
For individuals who currently hold a Capital One Walmart Rewards Card or a Walmart Rewards Card, your account is being transitioned to a different product. Capital One is converting these cards into a Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard®.
This transition ensures that existing cardholders can continue to use their credit card, but it will now function as a standard Quicksilver Mastercard, offering its own set of rewards and benefits, rather than the previous Walmart-specific ones.
Key Changes for Cardholders:
| Former Card (No Longer Offered to New Applicants) | New Card for Existing Cardholders |
|---|---|
| Capital One Walmart Rewards Card | Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard |
| Walmart Rewards Card | Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard |
This change reflects a shift from a store-specific rewards program to a more general-purpose cash back card. Existing cardholders should receive information directly from Capital One regarding their specific account transition, including details about their new card and its benefits.

Implications for Shoppers
For customers accustomed to using a Walmart-branded credit card for their shopping needs, this change means:
- New Applications: You cannot apply for the Capital One Walmart Rewards Card or the Walmart Rewards Card.
- Existing Benefits: Any specific Walmart-related rewards or benefits previously tied to these cards are no longer applicable; instead, you will earn rewards based on the Quicksilver Mastercard program.
- Alternative Payment Options: Walmart continues to accept various payment methods, including other major credit cards, debit cards, and Walmart Pay.
While the co-branded credit card partnership with Capital One has ended for these specific products, customers can still explore other general-purpose credit cards that offer cash back or rewards that can be used universally, including at Walmart.
