Frequently Asked Questions

General

 

What is the Walmart Customer Spark Community?

Walmart Customer Spark Community is an invitation only community where members have the opportunity to participate in surveys, customer interviews, other activities and more.

 

How does the Walmart Customer Spark Community work?

When customers complete activities, they earn points redeemable for Walmart eGift cards.

 

Can I join the Spark Community?

At this time, the Spark Community is an invitation only community. If you are selected to participate, you will receive an email from us to learn more.

 

Is this the Spark Reviewer program?

Though you may be asked to provide product reviews, we are not the Spark Reviewer Program. The Walmart Customer Spark Community provides you with activities beyond only reviews to engage with us and earn points.

 

Is there a Spark Community app?

Now available in the Apple Store and on Google Play!

 

How do I reset my password?

You can reset your Spark Community account password by selecting 'Reset Password' on the login screen of the Spark Community customer portal. A one-time authorization code will be sent to the email address linked to your Walmart.com/Spark Community account. Follow the prompts in that email to reset your password.

 

How do I unsubscribe?

You can unsubscribe from Spark Community via the 'Unsubscribe' link on the Spark Community customer portal or from any Spark Community email. Please note it will take 72 hours to process this request. Please note that once unsubscribed, we are unable to add you back to the community.

 

I am unable to unsubscribe. I would like to unsubscribe.

If you would like to unsubscribe from the Customer Spark Community, you may do so in the footer of any emails you receive from us or your Profile settings. If this is not working for you, please reach out to us using the email address associated with your Customer Spark Account. Please state that we have permission to unsubscribe you from the Walmart Customer Spark Community.

Activities

 

What types of activities will I be sent?

You could be sent traditional surveys, invitations to participate in virtual or in-person interviews/focus groups, in-store audits or shop-alongs, online diaries/discussion boards, and much more!

 

How many activities will I be sent?

The number of activities and when they are available varies. You’ll be notified of new activities via email, and the activities will be posted in the customer portal. Please check your email and/or the customer portal to stay up to date!

 

How long will the activities take?

Activity length varies depending on complexity and subject matter. Typically, the surveys we administer will take 5 minutes, though some will be longer, and some will be shorter.

 

What if I’m being sent too many or not enough activities?

You can edit your contact settings in your profile under Account>Activity Frequency Preferences.

Points & Gift Cards

 

How does the point system work?

Points will be assigned to the activity you are invited to. The number of points assigned will depend on meeting the criteria for the survey and the length and effort required to complete the activity. For example, if you qualify and complete a traditional survey, 50 points are generally rewarded.

 

How does the point redemption process work?

Once you have earned a minimum of 500 points, you can login to the Customer Portal Rewards page where you can redeem your points. Upon point redemption, a Walmart eGift card will be emailed to you from the community. The email will provide you with the eGift card link, challenge code and more information on how to use the eGift card.

 

How can I use the Walmart eGift card?

The eGift card can be used at Walmart.com, Samsclub.com, or be printed out to use in a Walmart or Sam's Club store. You can also add the eGift card to your Walmart Pay account. In the coming weeks, eGift cards will soon be able to be used for online grocery orders (delivery or pickup). Click here to learn more about how to redeem eGift cards.


I completed this activity, why have I not received my points yet?

The turnaround time for point grants varies depending on the type of activity. If you answered a written Survey activity, the points will likely be granted the same-day. If you participated in a Video activity or other types of activities, we need time to process your response and review it for quality purposes. This means that it could take some time to grant you points, but if it has been over a few business days since you participated, please reach out to us.


What is the value of each point that I earn?

Each point is worth $0.01 USD towards a Walmart eGift Card/incentive.


Why did I not receive the amount of points I expected?

The amount of points issued for each completed activity depends on your eligibility for the full study. We only ask questions that are relevant to you and sometimes that means we will end an activity sooner to save you time. We also give you some participation points for the questions that you did answer. Please refer to the below table for general guidance on how many points you can expect based on your activity status:
