Walmart says it charged Beauty Box subscribers nearly $700 instead of $6.98 due to a 'coding error'

• Walmart Beauty Box products cost subscribers $6.98 without taxes every three months of the year.
• On Tuesday, customers took to social media to say that they were charged for 100 boxes, at $698.
• Walmart said in a statement that there was a glitch and is issuing refunds, gift cards, and more.

When Walmart launched its Beauty Box product in 2014, its pitch was simple: Pay $6.98 plus taxes every three months to receive a box full of beauty products to last you each season.

And that's exactly what customers came to expect until an unwelcome glitch this week.
