This. Walmart's image has been severely tarnished over the years as a result of their abusive labor practices. Now that Amazon is also acquiring that same image, it's the perfect time for Walmart to pull a PR about face.

The yearly maximum is something like $1500 (and it's not paid up front) so it's not nearly as generous as it looks.
