If you’re an avid Walmart shopper, you’ll probably want to consider signing up for Walmart+. We know that having to sign up for yet another membership service sounds like a pain, but it may be worth it for you (don’t worry, we’ll tell you why).
You’ll especially want to consider snagging a membership before July 2, because Walmart+ is offering a few special, limited-time benefits until then, including free subscriptions to Apple Music, Xbox Game Pass, and more.
Below, we’ll explain what the service is, what you’ll get out of it, and how to get started.
What is Walmart+?
Walmart+ is the big-box retailer’s premier membership program that gets you exclusive benefits, both online and in-store. These include perks like free and fast shipping, early sale access, mobile scan and go at Walmart stores, and lots more. Many compare it to Amazon Prime, though it’s still a bit different.
What are the perks?
The whole reason for signing up for Walmart+ is those sweet perks. Here’s what you’ll get when you become a member:
Unlimited free delivery: All $35+ orders from Walmart stores will be delivered free of charge.
Fast shipping: Next-day and two-day shipping is free for Walmart+ members with no minimum required.
Easy returns: If you need to return something, Walmart will pick it up for you. You won’t need to print any labels or repackage any products.
Savings on fuel: Walmart+ members save 10 cents per gallon at participating fueling stations like Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and more.
Auto care: Visit any Walmart Auto Care center for free flat tire repair and road hazard warranty.
Mobile scan and go: Shopping at a physical Walmart location? Use your smartphone to scan and pay for your items to make the checkout process faster.
Paramount+: Gain access to Paramount+ for no additional fee and enjoy the catalog of movies and TV shows.
Early access: Members will get first dibs on special product releases and big sale events, including Black Friday.
Walmart+ travel: Enjoy up to 5% in Walmart Cash when booking hotels, car rentals, tours, and more with Expedia, and up to 2% on flights.
What are the new perks?
Walmart+ is now offering some new perks for the spring, but only for a limited time. If you want to reap the benefits, be sure to sign up before July 2. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:
Apple Music: Walmart+ members can get up to five free months of Apple Music, which gets you a massive catalog of ad-free music, interviews, live shows, and more.
Apple Fitness+: Redeem up to four months of Apple Fitness+ and access their extensive library of virtual workout classes, from HIIT cardio, to Yoga, and more.
Xbox Game Pass: Two free months of Xbox Game Pass is available to Walmart+ members, and nets you an amazing selection of games to download and play whenever you want, access to online play, and exclusive discounts, among other things.
YouTube Premium: Tired of annoying ads before your videos? Skip them all with three months of YouTube Premium, plus the ability to access content offline.
Calm: Everyone needs a break from life once in a while. Redeem four months of Calm and start practicing mindfulness, meditation, and find your inner peace.
Angi discount: Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time to get your home in order. Walmart+ members enjoy a 30% discount with Angi.
How much does Walmart+ cost?
A membership to Walmart+ costs $98 annually, or $12.95 monthly. All new members can redeem a 30-day free trial to test the waters before fully committing, too.
How do you sign up?
Signing up with Walmart+ couldn’t be any easier. Here’s how to get started:
Go to the Walmart+ page. Here, you’ll find information on what the service is, what perks you’ll get, and pricing.
Click on “Start your free 30-day trial.” (Yes, you get your first month totally free! A recurring billing period will start after the trial ends.)
Fill out your personal and payment information for billing and shipping purposes.
That’s literally it. You’re now a Walmart+ member, and you can start enjoying your perks immediately!
Walmart+ or Amazon Prime?
Though similar, Walmart+ and Amazon Prime still have some pretty big differences between them, and we could make a case for having both. Both services include free and fast shipping benefits, grocery delivery, and access to select streaming services, to name a few shared perks. But, if you had to pick one, we’d say the answer lies in just one question: Do you plan on shopping in-store? If yes, go for Walmart+, but if you think you’ll only be shopping online, Amazon Prime will be your best bet. (One more note to consider: Amazon Prime costs about $40 more annually than Walmart+.)
