Walmart gift card

My brother had a problem with a Walmart gift card. For Christmas 2006 I gave him a $40.00 gift card. bought at the Queensbury, NY , Walmart.When he returned home on December 28, he went to the Walmart in New Hartford, NY, and got $21.74 in gasoline, leaving a balance of $18.26. Then he went inside the store , picked up a few things, and went to the cash register. The cashier ran the gift card through the machine and notified him that the balance was zero! Why did he get cheated out of the rest of the money still on that Walmart gift card? When I called Walmart Headquarters and wrote to them in Bentonville, Arkansas, no one could give me a straight answer. How many hundreds of other people have been cheated by Walmart in their gift card scam? This hassle with Walmart and trying to get them to do the right thing has been extremely aggravating. To date, they have not rectified this situation.Beware of Walmart gift cards!

I bought a 100.00 + (5.44 activation fee)visa gift card from wal mart for christmas. Sent it to Bakersfield, CA My neice took it out of the package that it came in and went to use it. She was told it had a 0 balance. When I called to check on it I was bounced around the Philipines for 2 days. I was told card was used in a Vons in Barstow which is 2 hours from Bakersfield. Card was taken directly from package and never used by us. Walmart said "sorry" but they only buy the cards from Visa and are not responsible for the problem. Anybody know how to get my money back? PLEASE HELP! I don't have 105.44 to throw away.
