Wal Mart loses. They make no profit, though they break even. Still, they have to pay to stock items/return them/pay their workers. However, you are liekyl to come back and shop again at wal mart after using your credit, becuase you will now like the store.

 

Anyway, I am thinking of doing this. Is this really considered fraud, or is it perfectly legal? If I told Wal Mart the item was from another store but its the same ting you stock, would they take it? Do they actaully care about the store?

 

Walmart does care, just like every other store. However, they only care after you do it to many times. To many returns and Walmart will cut you off. Whether it is permanent or temporarily, I don't know.

Technically you are lying and saying you bought it there. Does that count as fraud in the eye's of the law? I don't know.

 

 

They never asked me if I bought the items at Wal-Mart.  They never do, and they don't care.  They rely on the computer tagging you as a repeat offender.  As seen on their official policy, they keep you blacklisted for 6 months.  There are no laws in returns to store, only store policy.  They are not required to take anything back, whether you have any receipt or not.
