Thanks for the suggestion. I was waiting until business hours to make contact. I will try your suggestion and email all the higher-ups tomorrow night.
Thanks again!
Are there other places that will honor a Wal-Mart Gift Card besides Wal-Mart and Murphy Oil locations?
If those are the only ones, then maybe it is a self-contained situation where the gas clerk will be caught if she uses the card, or whoever she might have sold it to on the black market would also be caught when using it.
It's true the receipts don't print out the last 4 digits, so *thieves* can't use a receipt just like a gift card, especially for online purchases.
P.S. Yikes, I just realized that unless your dad wrote down the whole number someplace (and why would anyone ever do that?) or like they said, stored it online somewhere with another retailer, there's no way to prove which card was his.
All your hopes are with the data transmission or storage of that last transaction he did. And who knows what kind of mischief the station clerk could do to mess that up.
