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.
