📱 Method 1: Official Walmart MoneyGram Lookup

(Works for 89% of “lost” transfers per 2024 data)

Step-by-Step:

Go to MoneyGram’s tracking page
Enter:
- Reference number (from your receipt)
- **Sender’s exact $am o u n t * * (e v e ni f o ff b y$ 0.01, it’ll fail)
Click “Track Transfer”

🛠️ Pro Tip: If MoneyGram shows “completed” but recipient claims no money:

The receiving Walmart may have held funds for ID verification.
Call the specific store’s Money Center (not general customer service).

📞 Method 2: Call the Walmart Money Center Direct Line

(30% faster than main support)

Key Numbers:

Domestic Transfers: 1-800-642-3169 (press #3 → #1)
International Transfers: 1-800-926-9400
Best Time to Call: Tuesday-Thursday, 8-10AM CT (shortest hold)

How It Works:

Visit any Walmart Money Center with:
