This is great.
I have not used their service yet since I do not have a smart phone but is it something where you can just get the price at the register then buy the card on your phone and scan it?

The email I received from gyft: Hi there, First, thanks for being such a loyal Gyft customer. I cannot emphasize enough that we truly value your support. Without you, we could not bring on new and exciting retailers like Walmart. Second, although we were so excited to bring Walmart on board, due to circumstances beyond our control, we need to remove Walmart from our list of participating retailers, effective April 13, 2014. Rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to bring them back up as soon as possible. Your existing Walmart gift cards will work as they should. If you are as disappointed as we are about this decision by Walmart, please email them at help@walmart.com and let then know how you feel about it. In the meantime, we have added other exciting retailers that you can still purchase from here. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support@gyft.comThanks again, The Gyft Team No explanation, but it was obviously walmart's decision to withdraw. We should all email help@walmart.com and express our displeasure.

If it is just a simple technical problem (scanning barcodes), it should be easy to fix and restart the program, unless walmart lost interest and confidence in Gyft.

WOW. If you ever needed proof that people don't read beyond the thread title before posting... Wow what a sudden change of events. So are there still some cards available for purchase at the is time?
Nope, the option to buy is gone. I grabbed one card while the window was briefly open.

I knew there was a reason why I literally shit in the aisles of Walmart last night. When the manager ask what he could do for me, I offered up to him to wipe my ass.
The above is a true story. Simply ask if you want the complete account.
