Walmart is thanking shoppers by giving them empty gift cards
An odd new gifting trend is becoming more popular this holiday season.
Posted — UpdatedIt happened to WRAL's Nia Harden at the Walmart off Tryon Road in Cary. When she reached out to others on social media, she learned it was happening a lot.
Someone on Facebook said they ordered groceries online with Walmart. When their order arrived, there was a thank you bag that included a gift card to give to someone else.
Walmart calls it the "Walmart Gift Card To Go." When shoppers order something online or have a pickup in store, they include a gift card you can load money on at home and give to someone else.
Walmart says it’s a last minute gift option.
Others on social media said Ulta and Victoria's Secret are doing the same thing.
Do people actually use these cards? People who responded to a post on the WRAL Smart Shopper Facebook pages said yes, that the gift card comes in handy and saves a trip to the store.
According to Walmart, the program only lasts through the holidays.
