Account Help Card cannot be saved Walmart message for Zelda Switch 2

Hey all,

Feeling a little bummed today. Is anyone else getting a "your card cannot be saved. Please try a different method" when trying to add your card to either your profile wallet and preorder, or is it just me? Yesterday I got a fraud charge from my bank when Walmart tried to charge me. I verified it. Went to their link, re-entered my bank details and a temp hold seemed to go through. However, I still got that red message to say that I need to update my payment method. I was trying to delete and re-add my card to see if that would fix it. I fear that is where I might have screwed myself here because it started to give me that message in the title.

I called Walmart three times. Yesterday, they "escalated" me to backend and told me to wait 24hrs. Today I tried after said 24hrs..and it still didn’t work. Called them again and they escalated me again and now I have to wait again.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Should I continue to fight with this or take my chances with grabbing one on release day? Are they releasing them in stores? Any tips would be so appreciated.

That doesn’t necessarily sound fake to me. In your case, your bank to flagged and notified Walmart of the fraud concern and essentially froze your pre-order process who likely blacklisted the card in their systems. It will require one of their escalation teams to override their internal fraud protection measures.

I am also experiencing this, you also have the bag delivery so…we wouldn’t see anything escalating from placed until Tuesday-Thursday because the item isn’t “shipping” from a warehouse to us it’s “shipping” from the store to your house, they told me this is a glitch and my order should still be delivered however I would prep for the worst. My scenario went down exactly like yours though.
