The gift card was a gift from my fiance's mom for new tires how ever the brand and size of tires that i need are not sold there. Can they refund the gift card with reciept to her credit card so she can give me cash?
p.s. I checked the wal-mart website and all it says is it can not be refunded for cash.

Is there a number on the back of the card where you can call them and ask? Also, you might go in to Wal-Mart and maybe talk to a manager.
If not, you could thank your fiance's mom for the card and let her know that Wal-Mart did not have the kind of tires you needed, and that you tried everything to get her money back on the card. It may be that, if she can't get her money back, maybe she will want to just use the card, herself for things she needs from Wal-Mart (saving herself money that way) and then maybe she will want to give you money to buy the right tires where they are sold...
Or maybe she will suggest you keep the Wal-Mart card and buy things you CAN get at Wal-Mart.
She sounds like a nice lady. Good luck with that!

I still don't understand why people give gift cards/certificates to one particular store. The problem you are facing is not limited to Walmart but to most retailers. Your fiancee's mom in good faith wanted you to have those tires and thought Walmart could sell them to you. What she did quite inadvertantly was take perfectly good old cash that could be spent anywhere and restrict it to Walmart. Retailers hate giving those dollars back when they know that if they don't, the money will be spent with them.
You might try selling that gift card to a friend that will be spending that amount of money at Walmart and use the cash to buy the tires at a store that sells what you are looking for.
Sounds like you have found a great lady AND a great future mother in law. Good Luck!

You can refund it sure but not for cash. You could always just give the gift card back to her she can use it to buy groceries or whatever with it instead of using the other means for a while.

Go to Walmart and ask them if you can exchange the value of the card for a general gift card that you can use for items other than tires.
Don't expect your fiance's mom to "give you cash" because that's just tacky.
