Gift cards are the perfect gift! They can be used for all
purchases in our stores and clubs, as well as online at
www.walmart.com and www.samsclub.com. Wal-Mart gift
cards are available for in-country use around the world.
Customers can personalize gift cards either online or at our
one-hour photo labs at stores and clubs, so they can carry
a photo of loved ones. Wal-Mart was fi rst to market with
this exciting in-store innovation. Wal-Mart was also one
of the very fi rst retailers to market an environmentally
friendly, corn-based, plastic PLA (Polylactic Acid) gift card
from NatureWorks™.
