What Does Walmart Plus Include?

Several benefits come with being a Walmart+ member. Perhaps the most notable is free grocery delivery with no markups.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these benefits in turn:

1. Free Grocery Delivery

Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to do. Some people say it’s therapeutic.

But hauling that cart around the stores reminds me of 1,001 things I need to do.

With Walmart+, I add everything I need to my shopping cart and let Walmart+ do the rest. With this delivery perk, you can deliver your grocery items to your door without paying extra fees.

Unlike some other grocery delivery services, Walmart does not add markups!

2. Free Shipping

Another membership benefit of Walmart+ is that you can get free shipping on your orders, with no minimum purchase required.

This benefit excludes most Marketplace items, but there may be location- and freight-based surcharges.

This was a must-have for me since I do a lot of online shopping. Knowing that I wouldn’t be hit with a shipping fee, hitting the checkout button was a huge plus.

As a side note, you might still get (freight-based) charges in places like Alaska. I know because I used to live in Alaska.

Believe it or not, some items I love getting at Walmart are clothing. Walmart has stepped up its game regarding affordable + decent-quality fashion for the family.

In addition to the dress I’m wearing above, here are a few awesome array of products I recommend from Walmart:

3. Fuel Discounts

Walmart+ members have the advantage of fuel discounts. They can save up to 10 cents per gallon on fuel nationwide at over 13,000 fuel stations.

However, the exact amount of this exclusive discount varies by location and station and is subject to change.

We are all too familiar with the skyrocketing fuel costs right now.😓 So, discounts on fuel are total lifesavers!

Although it might not seem like much, $0.10 per gallon adds up quickly, especially for people who commute.

4. Early Access to Deals & Events

As a Walmart+ member, you’ll also have early access to exclusive deals and events that non-members don’t have access to. For example, you get early access to Black Friday sales.

Remember that not all special deals and events are available to trial members, and quantities may be limited.

Honestly, I haven’t even bothered with the Walmart+ membership perk. However, I’ve come across some great deals on Walmart fashion. I bet the Walmart Black Friday deals will be epic this year.

5. Free Paramount+ Subscription

Finally, Walmart+ members also get a Paramount+ streaming service included with their membership for free. This gives you access to Paramount’s movies and TV shows streaming library.

The subscription is for the Essential plan only; if you want access to the premium content, you must upgrade your Paramount+ subscription.

This perk is new and actually rolled out a few months ago. Although Paramount is not a must-have for me, this gives me more movie options without paying more (to Walmart or for video streaming).

6. Free Flat Tire Repair & Free Road Hazard Warranty

If you’re always traveling with your family and friends or are fond of solo travels, leave your worries about suddenly having flat tires with the Walmart+ subscription services.

One of their exclusive benefits is offering flat tire repair and a free road hazard warranty when you purchase tires in installments.

And with 2,500 Walmart Auto Care Centers, you’ll find at least one wherever you travel.

7. Walmart Rewards

Many retailers fall back on loyalty rewards to encourage repeat purchases. I’m excited to see how the Walmart Rewards program evolves over time.

Two of my favorite retailer reward programs are the Sephora Beauty Insider rewards program and Ultamate Rewards.

While the shopping reward points might seem to be growing slowly, I have no reservations that Walmart Rewards will be worth it.

Click “Earn Rewards” on eligible items to get rewarded before purchasing.

8. Mobile Scan & Go

The Walmart+ Mobile scan & go makes it easier to checkout in less time. The contactless checkout and streamlined in-store shopping experience.

As I mentioned earlier, in-store shopping is not something I enjoy. But if I need to run into the store, I can use the app to check the prices of products and check out once I’m ready to leave.

9. Hassle-free Return of Items

Say goodbye to the tiresome routine of printing and repacking when returning items, and say hello to a hassle-free return mode to the comfort of your home!

Place your item in its original packaging near the door InHome usually uses to access your home for deliveries, and a Walmart associate will pick up your return the next day.

Easy-peasy!

Retracted Walmart+ Benefit

1. Rx For Less

One of the really attractive perks of Walmart+ benefit was the Rx for less perk at over 4,000 Walmart pharmacies.

As a healthcare worker, I was ecstatic to see that this benefit could help members save up to 85% on prescriptions.

Sadly, Walmart discontinued the Rx for Less program effective May 31, 2022 (an email was sent about this on April 29th).

This breaks my heart for those Walmart+ members who relied heavily on this benefit.

2. Free 6 Months of Spotify Premium

Yep, that’s right! Last March 2022, one of the Walmart+ subscription perks is ad-free music from none other than Spotify.

Unfortunately, this limited edition promotion ended last March 2023.

3. …

None!

I’ll keep this post updated if it changes. And if you, my dear reader, catch wind of any updates I may have missed, please drop a comment below with all the details.

FAQ About Walmart+

Is Walmart+ Worth It?

Whether or not Walmart+ is worth it depends on how often you shop at Walmart and how often you take advantage of the various benefits of membership.

If you frequently shop at Walmart and use the free shipping and grocery delivery benefits, you could save over $1,300* each year with a Walmart+ membership.

That said, if you only visit Walmart sporadically or rarely take advantage of the benefits offered by Walmart+, it might not be worth signing up for membership.

Conclusion

Overall, I’m still very happy with my Walmart+ subscription. Walmart has added more features than they’ve removed, and prices have remained unchanged since its launch in my area.
