No, anyone can become a member. They do require to have a deposit relationship. I have a $1000.00CD there for this purpose.

CANADA card usage...
We've been in Canada for several weeks and have used our WalmartCC exclusively(at least were they don't make you pay cash, which has only been at a few PassportAmerica rv parks,etc).
WalmartCC(SynchronyBank) provides an instant website view of the ACTUAL dollar charges with the US/CA transfer/exchange rate. In essence, about a 25% lower rate, in US dollars, than what your CA receipt will show. WalmartCC also passes along a 3% exchange rate fee, but I just consider that additional 'tax', not a big amount considering the ease-of-use.
I will say that trying to understand the Liters to Gallons conversion, along with the 100.04 type pricing here for Fuel, can take a little effort to process. If you're using your card, it's not a big deal because you swipe/insert it first anyway, but with CASH, you may have to do some calculations to know how much to pay ahead of time for the amount of fuel you need. I basically use the 100.00 as the benchmark for a $2.85 per gallon in US Dollars(Diesel).
All-in-all, it's not been a problem with money in Canada, though I don't want to leave the country with much of their 'cash' still in my pocket. : )

Mel, sorry I missed you post! No, there's all kinds of ways you can qualify. Just give them a call and they'll find a way!
