Walmart $100 Gift Card Smartphone

Walmart $100 Gift Card SmartphoneWalmart is heavily promoting its $100 gift card offer with any smartphone, we read the fine print and there may be better deals for some buyers. So get your calculator out. There are only two days left to Cyber Week and the deal ends December 1.

First off, the offer is not valid for iPhone, iPhones are seldom discounted unless you buy a refurbished model.  Therefore if you are looking for an iPhone deal, hold off your trip to Walmart.

The fine print also states "gift card only good upon phone activation with a two-year contract. Offer good from November 25, 2012 to December 1, 2012."

The offer is for in-store purchases only.  Therefore we suggest that you also figure in the amount of time you will spend driving and parking to get to Walmart store.  For example, one of our readers commented that there are several Walmart stores within 15 minute of his location.  In some parts of Los Angeles, you'll have to drive up to an hour in traffic to get to a Walmart.
