Not sure about this Walmart case but most you can write any email like random letters a@gmail.com or not even the Gmail part as long as it's a valid looking mail and then works like you don't even have to confirm the email or anything.

I like steve@yahoo.com

If he was lucky or early enough to get a single name email then I'm sure they can handle some spam emails or get an email full of numbers like the rest of us
