Walmart Plus membership, benefits and price explained

Everything you need to know about the Walmart Plus program

If you shop at Walmart regularly or just want the best chance of accessing its most popular products, it might be worth purchasing a Walmart Plus membership.

Launched in September 2020, Walmart Plus includes a mixture of in-store and online perks designed to save customers time and money.

Walmart Plus benefits available since launch include free delivery from Walmart stores, Scan and Go shopping and fuel discounts.

Since then, the service has expanded to include several other perks. In December 2020, Walmart Plus added free shipping from Walmart’s online store, and more recently members were offered access to a Paramount+ Essential Plan at no extra cost.

Walmart Plus also offers members early access to sought-after products like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch consoles, as well as a 7-hour head start on Walmart’s Black Friday deals.

How much does Walmart Plus cost?

A Walmart Plus membership is priced at $98 per year or $12.95 per month and includes a 30-day free trial period.

Walmart Plus early access benefits aren’t available to free trial members.
