Activate Walmart Card (Guide & Reviews)

Walmart & Capital One:  Activate Your Card

  • You can either sign in or enroll to begin your card activation
  • If you need to enroll you’ll have to sign up for a Capital One account
  • Customers who already have an existing Capital One account can sign in
  • Go to walmart.capitalone.com/activate to begin either process

In case you haven’t gotten the memo, Walmart & Capital One have joined forces.  The result is a brand-spanking new Walmart card.  However, a transition like this can also result in some consumer confusion.  For instance, many customers will need to sign up for a Capital One account to begin using the card.  If you’re one of these folks, there’s no need to worry (the process is EASY).

Signing Up For Capital One to Activate Your Walmart Card

  • Start by providing some basic info to help Capital One find you in the system
  • Next, click the Find Me button to proceed (you can enroll once you’re located)
  • If you have issues with enrollment try clicking the live chat link for help
  • Tip of the day:  make sure your information is correct before searching!

As we discussed early, you don’t have to enroll if you already have a Capital One account.  If you’re one of the lucky ducks who can bypass this step, simply click the sign-in button to access your account.  Once logged in, you can proceed with activating your Walmart Card (a similar process to beginning a Citi Balance Transfer).

Benny P.  – I’ve always liked those Capital One commercials so kinda happy about it.

  • The type of device must be selected to begin
  • An activation code will be needed during the process
  • A&E channel corporate contact info is available

It could be argued (or calmly discussed) that many cable subscribers aren’t getting the full value out of their subscriptions.  The reasoning behind such as statement has to do with the many who have yet to discover the ability to stream cable content online (believe it or not many such folks still exist).  A&E subscribers who want to start getting the full bang for their buck can begin the streaming activation process by going to the AETV Authorize page and selecting the type of device that requires activation (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV).  Once the device has been confirmed a provider can be selected from the list shown in the middle of the page.  Those who don’t see their provider in the featured list (AT&T, Bell, Bell Aliant, Spectrum, Xfinity, Cox, DIRECTV, DIRECTV NOW, Dish, Frontier, Hulu, Mediacom, Optimum, Rogers, Shaw, Telus, Verizon) can utilize the More Providers drop-down list to see all that is available (get ready for some searching because its a LOT).  After the desired provided has been selected the activation code can be entered into the A&E Authorize page to continue with the activation process.

Available Shows on A&E

  • Barry’d Treasure – Barry Weiss from Storage Wars goes on a collectible-finding journey
  • Barter Kings – A fascinating look at the jobs of Steve McHugh and Antonio Palazzola
  • Donnie Loves Jenny – Features celebrity couple Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Walberg
  • Storage Wars: Northern Treasures – Get ready for some haggling every Wednesday

After the activation code has been entered at the AETV Authorize page the Continue button can be clicked to proceed to the selected provider’s site to continue with the device activation process (once at the provider site the subscription must be confirmed before completing the process).  Those with corporate-related questions for A&E can try writing to the network’s office in New York, New York (also known as the BIG APPLE!).
