∆ The use of the instant credit will be provided under a temporary shopping pass. Your shopping pass will automatically appear as a payment option when you check out and will be valid until 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) tonight. The temporary shopping pass will be limited to an approved amount as determined by Walmart Canada Bank. The granting of the temporary shopping pass shall be subject to the approval of your application. Your application may still be approved without the issuance of a temporary shopping pass.

The reward is $25 Walmart dollars.
No scam here, but no mind-blowing deal either. You can spend up to $500 on your Walmart credit card account BEFORE the card arrives, if you're approved under this offer.

Probably nothing will happen tho and the card will remain the same terrible thing.

Do you have more info, or a link?

So, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and of course... [email protected] are all legitimately owned by whomever owns walmart.ca.

Now, it IS possible that hackers could somehow have taken over Walmart's account with the domain registrar... but not very likely. I'd still question this though. $500 for a Walmart card seems kind of a high reward. There must be some kind of condition.

Obviously lenders like WalMart MC will kickstart cardholders with small CL, even with instant approval. Just like CTFS will issue cards quickly, with CL starting at $100
