Arriving on night prior to Thanksgiving so trying to organise a grocery delivery as it appears Walmart will close at 11pm through 5am on Black Friday.
Cannot open a Walmart account with non USA mobile so having to find a work around. Assuming this is doable Walmarts do not accept Applepay and you have to download their payment app. However when trying to do this through Walmart app. It tries to redirect to I tunes store which must also have to be done from within USA.
Have tried with a VPN but this does not work either. Has anyone any ideas or suggestions as this is more critical than normal being on the eve of Thanksgiving. See

Confused considering Thanksgiving in the US is in November. Not really time critical now? Or have I missed the point somehow??
Unless you mean you are trying to set up things for next November? Can some relative there do things for you via their computer as likely that's the block. I know I can't order things I'd like in Canada before travelling there as it knows I've got a UK pc.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Why ApplePay, don't you have normal plastic(VISA/Mastercard)? Why so complicated? You don't HAVE to use their application. Have you ever heard of a Browser?

https://sms-man.com/blog/how-to-create-a-walmart-account-without-phone-number/#how_to_create_a_walmart_account_without_phone_numberYes, I do have ‘normal’ plastic but again not accepted via internet.We are a party with 2 members in wheelchairs and I find it easier to deal with potential problem well before time. I did not realise (and neither did the airline) that for some reason Thanksgiving is one whole week later this year hence the mild panic. It will be horrendously busy everywhere and with most grocery stores closing by 11pm on the day of arrival and flight not due to arrive at or after 5.30pm getting through the airport and car hire coul take hours so hence the ‘forward planning’. We are self catering so there will be nothing at our accommodation upon arrival.Having travelled to US on previous occasions I am just trying to preemptively address problems.I am at a loss to understand why this ‘upsets’ so many?Thank you to those who helpfully advised and to those who thought sarcasm was the way to go ‘get a life’.0
