How to Get a Walmart eGift Card for Free

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Walmart has been a staple in my life since college—from cheap dorm essentials to quick grocery hauls. These days, I’m shopping with a different goal in mind: stretching my tech budget. And the easiest way I’ve found to do that? Earning free Walmart eGift cards with apps I already use while shopping.

Whether you’re into smart home gadgets, need a new streaming device, or just want to offset your next big purchase, here’s how to earn Walmart eGift cards the easy (and free) way.

1. Use Shopkick to Earn Walmart eGift Cards While You Shop

Shopkick is my favorite way to turn everyday errands into rewards. You earn kicks (Shopkick points) for:

  • Walking into Walmart

  • Scanning select product barcodes

  • Uploading your receipt after purchase

  • Shopping online through the app

  • Watching short videos or browsing content in the app

Once you’ve earned enough kicks, you can redeem them for gift cards to top retailers—including Walmart.

It’s basically a gamified version of shopping. No spreadsheets, no coupon clipping, no changing your routine. You just open the app, start earning, and enjoy free rewards.

Pro tip: Use Shopkick at multiple stores (like Target, Walgreens, and Sam’s Club) and still redeem your points for Walmart gift cards. Flexibility = more ways to save.

2. Stack Rewards with Other Savings Tools

Want to maximize your earnings? Try these stacking strategies:

  • Use manufacturer coupons at checkout for instant savings

  • Pay with a rewards credit card for cashback or points

  • Combine Shopkick kicks with other rebate apps like Ibotta or Checkout 51

  • Join Walmart’s loyalty program (Walmart+) for perks like free delivery and fuel savings

The more layers you stack, the more you save—without doubling your effort.

Why Shopkick Is My Go-To

I’ve tried a lot of rewards apps over the years, but Shopkick stands out because it’s easy, flexible, and—let’s be honest—fun. It turns every shopping trip into a mini scavenger hunt. I’ve earned gift cards for everything from groceries to gadgets, and it’s genuinely changed how I approach errands.

Plus, you can earn from home too. Just open the app to discover ways to earn kicks without stepping outside.
