Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Last week, it was reported that some people were receiving an email from Chase promoting the chance to earn 10X or 10% cash back on purchases at Walmart.com made through Chase Pay with certain Chase credit cards. Doctor of Credit has reported that it has been confirmed by the Chase media team that this offer is not targeted and is open to all Chase Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, and Sapphire Reserve cardholders.
The Deal
- Either 10X or 10% cash back (depending on your card earning structure) on up to $250 in purchases between August 1st-31st, 2017 when you use Chase Pay and a Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, or Sapphire Reserve card.
Key Terms
- Must check out using Chase Pay
- Only valid at walmart.com
Quick Thoughts
This promotion came out last week, but we were unable to confirm whether or not it was targeted at the time. Now that we know it is not targeted, I will definitely be utilizing this offer to the fullest. There is nothing to add or sync — just check out via Chase Pay at Walmart.com and it should automatically work. While it is limited to just $250 in purchases, that’s still 2500 Ultimate Rewards points — not a bad bonus for shopping on Walmart.com. Furthermore, you could shop through the Chase shopping portal and pick up a couple more points-per-dollar. We aren’t 100% sure, but believe that the cap will be $250 per card if you have more than one Freedom/Sapphire product. You could test this by maxing out one card at $250 in purchases and then making a small test purchase with your second card. Your purchases should show up in the Ultimate Rewards portal under the rewards you are earning on your next statement, where you should be able to see whether it will earn 1 point only or 1 point + 9 bonus points. Note that if you plan to buy gift cards, Doctor of Credit has some tips for ensuring that your gift card orders don’t get cancelled as Walmart does tend to cancel gift card orders at random.

[…] Preferred account. However, if the previous Walmart Chase Pay promotion is any indication (See: Not targeted: 10x at Walmart with Freedom & Sapphire cards), this promotion likely applies for all Sapphire cardholders and all digital wallets. The general […]
I totally forgot about this and today is last. If I make a purchase today, can i get 10x points?
Yes. August 31st is still within the promotion period.
The purchases I made on 8/31 are marked as 9/1 on my statement, so I didn’t get the 10x points.
That doesn’t make sense, the transaction time is what counts. If your walmart.com receipt says 8/31, I would call chase about it and forward them the receipt if need be. Good luck
Finally got email from Chase about this offer, can this be combined with cashback portal?
I assume it can. Topcashback offering 7% at Walmart right now.
Thanks
Read their T&C.
What could stop me from getting cash back?
Purchase of gift cards, cellular purchases, prepaid phone cards, Sam’s Club, pharmacy, travel, financial services, tires, optical and Wal-Mart Connect Internet Service.
Received my 2nd package of VGC’s via Fedex and the 2.5K UR tracked. Will do deal one more time w/ Wife’s FU.
Hello,can chase freedom cards be gotten at the walmart store ?
Chase Freedom is a CREDIT CARD. You don’t get credit cards from a Walmart. :-O
[…] offers that are more common with other issuers. It would be great to see offers like this and the 10X offer at Walmart continue to expand to more Chase cards (and more frequently). If you have the Hyatt credit card, […]

Just got locked out of web access and the card I used was temporarily frozen. Called Chase – they told me they think my account got compromised and confirmed the Chase Pay triggered the lock. Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Chase to validate transactions on all my cards and bank accounts. In the end they wanted me to reset my username and password, I said no. My account was obviously not compromised and the password is unique for my chase account. After arguing with them and holding my ground, and a few holds for the security rep to talk to a supervisor – they unlocked my account and let me continue using my username and password. What a pain in the ass to use Chase Pay.
However I can confirm the 10x is showing up. I bought two $200 gift cards.
So did you attempt this again after your account was frozen then unlocked? I just went through the call with Chase to unfreeze my account, but I don’t want the same thing to happen again. They assured me I could use Chase Pay, but I’m a little leary of getting my account frozen again.
I just got around to trying this a second time tonight with my second Chase Freedom card. I guess we’ll see if it locks me up again. The things we go through for points…
Received via Fedex VGC’s today. All worked w/o a hitch.
10X tracked and showing on my FU account. Will now repeat Sapphire and Wife’s FU. Probably won’t get 4X from portal but 10X is great.
I got the same account freeze issue when trying chase pay at Walmart. I spent two hours to sort out the issue and had to work with chase internet account team to change my online account login user name to gain back online access to my account. It’s ridiculous. Chase system assumes that my email is hacked and someone else gained access to my online account and request me change my email account password first before they restore my account access.
My VGC’s shipped @ 2:39 am this morning.
I get an error when trying to use chase pay at walmart.com in google chrome from my android phone:
“We’re temporarily unable to complete your request. Please try again later. (Code 2002)”
Am I doing something wrong?
What a nightmare! At the Walmart check-out, I clicked on Chase Pay and proceeded to use my Sapphire Reserve card. It not only wouldn’t go through, but Chase suspended my card due to suspicious behavior. I’m traveling and found out the hard way when I went to pay my restaurant bill.
Chase customer service was horrible. I didn’t get an email, text or phone call from Chase.
When this happened with my AMEX last year, I received all 3. It took an hour and 4 different Chase employees to speak with. Employee #3 told me she couldn’t access my account and it would take 24-48 hours for someone to contact me. After demanding a supervisor, it only took 20 more minutes to get this fixed. And I’m told that activating Chase Pay when doing the Walmart checkout was the culprit.
Wow – who would have thought that simply using a Chase feature would create enough suspicion to freeze a credit card. For a $450/year card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve customer service team are rank amateurs. This is not a premium experience. At least not for me.
Just got off the phone with Chase, as they called me re: Fraud Prevention when buying a VGC at Walmart. They cleared and reset my account now, and confirmed that the $250 limit is PER ACCOUNT, not per user. Rock and roll!
Do you mean per card, but excluding business cards?
I have a total of 7 UR cards together with my wife.
Per ACCOUNT, but just the card types listed in the offer, AFAIK.
