Got discounted Walmart gift cards?

I do, 20% off a $25 Walmart gift card, to be exact, in selected cities! So basically, when you go to Walmart, and you know you will, you'll get $25 worth of stuff for $20. So it's like I'm giving you $5 for free, because I love you so much. 'Cause you know you're going to Walmart anyways.

So, if you live near any of the regions below, just click on your city to order your card! (There are no catches, no surveys, no sharing with everyone on facebook, nothing like that, I promise.)
