Yes—you can use a Walmart gift card to buy gas! However, you’ll have to pay inside and treat the gift card like cash.

If you have a Walmart gift card, you can use it to buy gas at any of the following locations:

  • Walmart

  • Murphy USA

  • Sam’s Club

  • Walmart Neighborhood Market stations

In general, any gas station that accepts VISA will likely accept a Walmart gift card. But be mindful that some Murphy locations no longer accept Walmart gift cards, so call ahead to confirm if you plan to stop by for a fuel-up.
