Capital One Walmart card: Discontinued
Meanwhile, both of Capital One’s Walmart card offerings — the Capital One Walmart Rewards Mastercard, as well as the “closed-loop” Walmart Rewards Card that was usable only with the retailer — have been discontinued. The ending of Capital One’s partnership with Walmart was announced in May, but this is the first we’ve heard regarding the fate of these two cards.

Existing cardholders of both cards will be transitioned to the Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card — even if they already have that card. According to Capital One’s website, eligible cardholders will receive their new card on a rolling basis starting in September and continuing throughout early 2025. Walmart cardholders will be able to continue using their Walmart credit cards until further notice.
The issuer says customers will retain any rewards they’ve earned with the Walmart card. Points will transfer to the Quicksilver cards at a value of one cent per point.
