What are the main benefits of Walmart+?
Depending on what's available in your area, there are a few main benefits to becoming a Walmart+ member:
Gas prices for members only
A big benefit for Walmart+ subscribers is access to member fuel prices. Members receive a 5 cents per gallon discount at Walmart, Murphy USA and Murphy Express gas stations, as well as Sam's Club locations. If you're planning to travel this holiday season, these savings could really add up!
With nearly 5,000 stores nationwide delivering — and 2,700 of them offering same-day service — Walmart+ lets you order fresh groceries and household items without leaving your home. If you're hosting guests this holiday season, this shopping perk can be a game changer.
With over 160,000 items available from Walmart and the mobile app, anything you might need can be shipped right to your door in no time. Walmart+ offers one-hour delivery times between 7am and 8pm, and everything is contactless – meaning you don't even have to be at home to receive your order.
Similar to Instacart, if an item in your order isn't available, you'll be notified before delivery so you can decide whether or not you want a replacement.
Mobile scan-and-go service
If you want to avoid standing in line during busy shopping hours, a Walmart+ membership gives you access to the retailer's scan-and-walk service through the mobile app. If you're headed to a physical Walmart location, download and install the Walmart app for "contactless" payments. Like wearing a mask, this is another way to stay safe and smart during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Simply scan your in-store items with your phone, pay with your credit or debit card and head to the checkout when you're done.
Once you've completed your purchase, you scan the QR code generated by the app to get a receipt and let the associate know you've already paid. This also facilitates ID checks for items such as alcohol purchases and other age-restricted items.
However, it's important to note that coupons don't work with the Walmart app yet, and it may take a bit of learning to get the hang of it during your first few trips.
All year Paramount+
Although Walmart+ doesn't have its own streaming service,. The standard version of Paramount+ includes access to NFL games via CBS Live, 24/7 live news via CBS and limited commercials. This is on top of his huge selection of TV shows and movies,
Reward points purchase
Walmart's shopping rewards program, called Walmart Rewards, is one of the newest benefits of being a Walmart+ member. This exclusive benefit allows Walmart+ customers to earn rewards points for purchases made online or in-store using the Walmart app. Shoppers can earn Walmart Rewards on eligible items and later redeem those points for cash on their next purchase. If you're a regular Walmart customer, you can collect reward points and enjoy significant savings.
Should you sign up for Walmart+?
If you're doing any holiday shopping at Walmart this year, you should definitely sign up for a Walmart+ membership. Top-rated products often sell out quickly, so early access to the biggest discounts can help ensure you have the best items of the year while supplies last.
Meanwhile, fans of delivery services like Instacart and Shipt could find a Walmart+ membership especially useful. The service is cheaper than other grocery delivery services and offers similar benefits, so for those who want to avoid grocery shopping in person (especially during the busy holiday season), the service is a great investment. If you prefer to shop in person at Walmart, this service can save you a lot of time – using scan and walk is a great way to avoid long lines and long waits.
It should be noted that Walmart+ does not have all the features of Amazon Prime and is geographically limited to areas that are close to physical Walmart stores. If you frequently shop online and at Walmart, the service is worth it. If you're an occasional Walmart customer who lives in a big city, you might want to wait until the service reveals more benefits before joining. And if you're not sure, you can always sign up for a free trial to test the service.
