No purchase is necessary. Across all available entry methods, each entrant is limited to a maximum of 78 entries during the entire sweepstakes period.

Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Entrants must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in their state or territory of residence. The age of majority is 19 in Alabama and Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi, and 18 in the other eligible locations.

The Walmart Customer Satisfaction Sweepstakes 2026 offers eligible residents of the United States, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico a chance to win one of 755 Walmart gift cards. The August–October promotion features five $1,000 grand prizes and 750 $100 prizes, with a combined prize value of $80,000.

The sweepstakes runs from August 1 through October 30, 2026. Participants can enter through qualifying Walmart customer surveys or use a no-purchase mail-in alternative. Importantly, a Walmart purchase is not necessary to enter or win, and making a purchase does not improve the chances of winning.

What Can You Win in the Walmart Sweepstakes?

Walmart is offering two levels of gift card prizes in this promotional period:

• Five Grand Prizes: Each winner receives a $1,000 Walmart gift card, totaling $5,000.
• 750 First Prizes: Each winner receives a $100 Walmart gift card, totaling $75,000.

The total approximate retail value of all 755 prizes is $80,000. A maximum of one prize may be awarded per person or household. Gift cards are subject to Walmart's applicable terms, and winners are responsible for any applicable taxes.

How to Enter the Walmart Customer Satisfaction Sweepstakes

According to the official rules, there are three permitted entry methods. Participants should choose a method for which they qualify and carefully follow its instructions.

Method 1: Walmart Receipt Survey

Customers who make a qualifying purchase at a participating Walmart store and receive a survey invitation on their receipt may enter through the official survey website.

1. Find the survey invitation and unique code printed on an eligible Walmart receipt.
2. Visit Walmart's official survey website.
3. Enter the receipt code and complete the customer satisfaction survey.
4. Complete any required sweepstakes entry form and submit it.

The survey generally must be completed within one week of the receipt date. For receipts dated October 24, 2026 or later, the final online deadline is October 30, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. Central Time.

Method 2: Email Survey Invitation

Customers who receive a qualifying Walmart survey invitation by email after an eligible purchase may follow the unique link provided in that invitation.

They must complete the survey and any required entry details within one week of the invitation date. Invitations dated October 24, 2026 or later remain subject to the October 30 final deadline.

Method 3: No-Purchase Mail-In Entry

Walmart also provides an alternative method that does not require buying anything or receiving a survey invitation. This option is particularly important for eligible participants who prefer not to make a purchase.

1. Prepare a postcard or card measuring at least 3.5 × 5 inches and no more than 4.25 × 6 inches.
2. Legibly handwrite your full name, mailing address, telephone number and date of birth.
3. Apply proper postage and send the entry to the official sweepstakes mailing address.

How Are Winners Selected?

Potential winners are selected through a random drawing from eligible entries. The chances of winning depend on the total number of valid entries received.

Potential grand prize winners may be contacted by telephone or email and are generally required to respond within five business days. Additional verification documents may be required.

First prize gift cards are expected to be mailed to the address provided during entry. Supplying a complete and accurate mailing address is therefore important.
