It’s been awhile since I last posted about the perks of a Walmart+ membership, so I thought I should revisit the topic and included the additional benefits Walmart has added since then.
There is also a great savings opportunity that I need to tell you about! If you have an AMEX card check your current card offers. I have a $49 statement credit back when renewing or starting a Walmart+ annual membership ($98). Just make sure to load the offer in your AMEX account and then set that card as the payment card for your membership! Mine is set to renew next month and I’m excited about getting 50% back. 
Note that a year of Walmart+ costs $98 if paid annually or you can pay $12.95 a month. For the best value you want to pay annually, paying monthly would cost $155 a year. Now onto the perks!
Walmart+ Membership Perks
Free 2-day Shipping
This is the reason many of us originally got Amazon Prime. For Amazon this is no longer a perk of membership though. With Walmart+ you’ll get free 2-day shipping on most items with no order minimum. There are also lots of items that qualify for free next-day shipping.
Free Grocery Delivery
Thanks to the large amount of local stores, Walmart+ also offers members free grocery delivery from your local store on orders of $35 or more. You’ll also pay the same price as the local store (no Instacart/Shipt markup).
Note that it is nice to still tip your delivery person, so this does have a small added cost. If you plan to use delivery often then go ahead and pay for the additional benefit of Walmart+ In Home for an additional $40 a year. You won’t tip on any orders, they will bring your groceries inside the home and can even put them away!!
Mobile Scan and Go
Use your phone to scan items as you shop in Walmart & check out contact-free. This is awesome not only for skipping the line, but also avoids having to unload and reload your buggy at self checkout. This feature is only available for Walmart+ members.
Another perk of Scan & Go is staying on budget. You’ll see a running total of what you are spending and can make wiser decisions if money is tight!
Fuel Savings
Members get up to 10¢ off a gallon of gas at 14,000+ participating stations nationwide. Save at Exxon, Mobil, Walmart and Murphy stations. To access the savings you’ll use the Walmart mobile app at the pump.
Tip: Walmart+ members can also get gas at any Sams Club station even if they don’t have a Sam’s membership!
Free Paramount+ Streaming
Here is a fun entertainment perk you get with Walmart+. Enjoy a FREE Paramount+ Essential streaming account and get access to all of their content, over 40,000 shows and movies. This is equal to $4.99 a month (or $59 a year) if you paid for Paramount+ on your own. You also have the option to upgrade to Paramount+ with Showtime at 50% off the current price.
Free Flat Tire Repair
No more paying to plug those flat tires! If it can be repaired, walk in to any Walmart Auto Care Center nationwide to get it repaired for FREE. This benefit is unlimited, which is great if you happen to live near a construction zone and run over nails often (I may or may not be talking about myself here). Also get a free road hazard warranty when you purchase tires and installation at any Walmart Auto Care Center.
6 Months Free Spotify Premium
A limited-time offer currently available, all Walmart+ members get 6 free months of Spotify Premium. Listen to all music ad-free and even download songs to listen offline
($59 value).
Check out more limited-time offers.
Early Access to Deals
Walmart holds semi-annual Deal Days to coincide with Black Friday, Prime Day, and other major sales. Walmart+ members get 12 hours early access to these deals before the rest of America can start to shop!!
Free Returns from Home
Walmart+ has made it even easier for you to return unwanted items. No printing, repackaging or waiting in line at the store. Walmart+ will send an associate out to your home to pick up your return free of charge!
Walmart+ Travel Benefits
One of the newer benefits includes Walmart+ Travel, powered by Expedia. Earn 2% Walmart Cash back on all air travel and 5% on other travel expenses like vacation & car rentals, tours and other activities. Just book through Walmart+ Travel, and everything will automatically be credited back to your account.
Free Pet Care Online
Another recently added perk is the free Pawp membership, which includes free 24/7 access to licensed veterinary professionals via text & video with unlimited on-demand virtual visits for up to 6 pets (dogs & cats only).
Final Thoughts on Walmart+:
We’ve been members of Walmart+ for over 3 years now. When I need items they come much faster from Walmart than from Amazon. Most orders arrive in 2-days (Amazon takes a week on any order for us).
The extra gas savings is a huge perk, so make sure you use the Walmart app! You’ll get a code from the app to use at the pump to activate your extra savings.
Adding up the gas savings, with free shipping and streaming we by far have saved the $99 a year (or $49 with the current AMEX offer)!
