How Much Is Walmart Plus and Is It Worth It?

Walmart+ is $98 a year plus tax, or $12.95 a month plus tax. There is also a newer combined membership: a combined Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus membership is $120 a year plus tax, with no monthly option and no trial, against $218 for the two bought separately.

The annual price is the cheaper route by a clear margin if you intend to keep it for a year. The bundle is the genuinely new thing, and it changes the arithmetic for anyone who already pays for both memberships separately.

How much Walmart Plus costs per month and per year
The three ways to pay, and what each works out to over a year.

How much Walmart+ costs

PlanPriceOver twelve months
Walmart+ annual$98 plus tax$98
Walmart+ monthly$12.95 plus taxAbout $155
Walmart+ with Sam’s Club Plus$120 plus tax, annual only$120
The two bought separately$98 plus $120$218

Paying monthly costs roughly $57 more across a year than paying annually. The monthly option earns its keep in one situation only: you want it for a few months, for a specific reason, and you will actually cancel.

The new Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus bundle

This is the part most pages about Walmart+ pricing have not caught up with. Walmart has combined Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus into a single annual membership at $120 plus tax.

Against $218 for the two bought separately, that is a saving of roughly $98, which is to say the Walmart+ side effectively comes free to anyone already paying for Sam’s Club Plus.

Makes sense ifYou want or already pay for Sam’s Club PlusYou only shop Walmart

The decision is simple. If you already pay for Sam’s Club Plus, the bundle is clearly better. If you have no use for Sam’s Club, paying $22 more for a membership you will not use is not a saving.

What you get with Walmart+

BenefitWhat it actually means
Free delivery from storesNo delivery fee on qualifying orders over the minimum, which is where most of the value sits
Free shipping with no order minimumOn items shipped by Walmart, not marketplace sellers
Fuel discountsA few cents a gallon at participating stations
Scan and go in storeScan as you shop and skip the checkout line
Member prices on some itemsVaries
A streaming perkWalmart has bundled a streaming subscription at times, and what is included has changed

Delivery is the benefit that pays for the membership. Everything else is a reason to keep it rather than a reason to buy it, and a membership bought for the fuel discount alone rarely pays off.

Monthly or annual, which is cheaper

Annual, if you are keeping it. The monthly option exists for short term use and costs about 58% more over a full year.

One reasonable approach: take the monthly option for a month or two, count how many delivery orders you actually place rather than how many you imagine placing, then switch to annual if the number holds up. That turns the decision into arithmetic.

Is Walmart+ worth it?

It comes down to delivery orders, and the math is straightforward enough to do in your head.

Delivery fees on a grocery order typically run several dollars plus the tip you would pay regardless. At roughly $8 a month for the annual membership, two delivery orders a month will generally clear the cost, and one a week clears it comfortably.

Walmart+ compared with Amazon Prime

They overlap less than the price comparison suggests, because they are strong at different things.

For households that mainly want groceries delivered from a store they already shop at, Walmart+ is usually the better fit. For breadth of catalog, the comparison goes the other way. Plenty of households that have run the numbers keep both, which is a legitimate answer rather than a failure to choose.

The free trial

Walmart has offered a 30 day trial on the standard membership, which is the sensible way to test the delivery question rather than guess at it.

The bundle has no trial. If you want to try before committing, that is a reason to start with standard Walmart+ and move to the bundle later.

Whatever the trial length is when you sign up, set a reminder for a couple of days before it ends. A trial that converts because you forgot is the most expensive version of a free trial.

Walmart+ Assist, the discounted membership

Walmart+ Assist is a discounted membership for people on qualifying government assistance programs, which cuts the price substantially for households that need it most.

It requires verifying eligibility, and it is genuinely underused because people do not know it exists. If your household receives qualifying assistance, check this before paying full price.

How to cancel Walmart+

1Open your Walmart account and find the membership section. Online or in the app.
2Choose to cancel or end the membership. The wording varies between the site and the app.
3Confirm. Expect at least one offer to stay, which you can decline.
4Check the end date. Cancelling normally stops the renewal rather than cutting access immediately, so you usually keep it until the paid period ends.

Walmart+ for associates

Walmart has offered associates a Walmart+ membership as a benefit, and the terms of that have changed over time. Check what currently applies in the portal.

If you work at Walmart, check the benefits section in One.Walmart before paying for a membership. Associates do pay full price for memberships they may already be entitled to, which is an avoidable $98.

For everything else on the associate side, including the discount card and how the portals work, the associate discount guide is the place to start.
