The Walmart/Rakuten partnership has only been in effect for four years, and has been fizzling out for at least two of them. None of the Walmarts near me ever had Kobo demo units, and while they did sell gift cards in-store for Kobo (under the "Walmart eBooks" label), they stopped selling them in-store over a year ago. I can only purchase digital giftcards these days.

I'll be bummed when it fizzles out completely, because those gift cards are the only way I'm currently able to load up my account balance and switch over to the UK store to grab books I can't get in the US.
You can use eBooks.com to easily go from US to UK and you can use PayPal to pay so you can still get ePub that are UK only.
