Default Walmart question

I recently applied for a walmart credit card and was approved....

Only problem is im no longer interested, for the fact that they did not disclose the interest rate of which account i was chosen for...

I have yet to receive the card, and it has not yet been activated..

If I never activate the card it will eventually just fall off right?

I cannot get ahold of an actual person to discuss this with on their contact list..

Advice?

when the card comes in the mail, they should have a number you can call to cancel it.

build your credit on it. you'll never get a good interest rate with no previous credit history.

make normal purchases on the card and pay it off at the end of the month. If you don't carry a balance, you don't have to worry about the interest, right?

0 interest cards are the best kind.

I've done the 0 interest balance transfer and used it to pay off other cards.

opted out?

At Target, you apply for the Target Visa. If you're declined, you're given the Target store card.
