Walmart Canceling Multiple Switch 2 Pre-Orders Citing "Card Issues"

Apparently I got a call from my local Gamestop telling me it'll be ready to go on Thursday, and they won't be doing a midnight launch. No matter about the midnight launch.

I paid for my Walmart orders using PayPal and the payment was charged right away at the time of purchase. Order status hasn't changed the whole time from arriving June 5th.

Not really worried either way since I have backup orders from GameStop and Nintendo, or rather these are the backup orders. Just wanted to post this as a point of reference for anybody else who ordered with PayPal.

I got the Walmart "double check your address" email around midnight last night. But I still haven't been charged anything, and the status on my order still hasn't advanced from the first step, "placed".

I was initially happy to see the email, but now I still have anxiety that it was just an automatic message that happens when a preorder is a week out, and maybe I'm not actually in the clear yet. Sigh
 
Seems odd they don't give you 24 hours to correct the payment method and be billed instantly once corrected (giving you a chance to try multiple cards then and there).
 
So last night I got a noticed to check my payment method.

I have a Capital One card that was used buuut I had to cancel it a few weeks ago due to fraud issues. I reached out to Walmart about this and they said it would be fine as they already charged the card...guess not.

I was able to use the new card and it saved and I got a new email confirming the payment was processed. Still shows pending in my capital account.

Hope this works out.
 
I went to my local Walmart today and they had a bunch of Switch 2s in stock. The guy who was working electronics told me that one of them is mine since I'll be having it delivered from the store on Thursday.

That's a nice heap of garbage there. 👍
 
I paid with PayPal and they pulled the money for the full amount immediately. I bought 2 from Walmart and I've kind expecting them to cancel one. That's why I have 1 at GameStop and another via Nintendo.com. The Walmart orders are still good, though. Expecting at least one of them to come through.

Damn, you couldn't stick to maybe getting two at two different stores? No wonder I couldn't get this.

TArget said will arrive by June 11th. Walmart says by June 5th.

Best Buy ready for midnight launch. But could do better on clearly telling you what stores are participating.
