Walmart bundles Walmart+, Sam’s Club Plus paid membership programs
Consumers who shop both Walmart and Sam’s Club have a new discounted option to join both retailers’ paid loyalty offerings.
Walmart is now making memberships in the Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus programs available together for $120 a year — almost $100 less than members were previously paying for the two memberships separately.
“We’re giving people a reason to expect more from their memberships,” said John Furner, president and CEO, Walmart Inc. “For $120 a year, we’re raising expectations for what a membership can deliver: more money in their pockets and more time to call their own.”
Perks of joint membership include:
- Sam’s Club access with member-only prices.
- Free delivery from Walmart and Sam’s Club.
- A choice of a Peacock or Paramount+ streaming subscription.
- Gas savings of 10 cents a gallon at more than 17,000 participating stations4.
- 2% Sam’s Cash rewards cashback on eligible purchases.
Existing Walmart+ annual members can switch to Walmart+ with Sam’s Club Plus for just $22 more a year, and current Sam’s Club Plus members can activate Walmart+ at no additional cost. Sam’s Club warehouse club members can upgrade to Sam’s Club Plus for $60 more a year and get Walmart+ included. Customers already paying for both membership programs can link their accounts, with most joint members eligible for a prorated Walmart+ refund.
Walmart has bulked up Walmart+, initially launched in September 2020, with numerous additional benefits over the years. As part of the annual $98 fee, Walmart+ offers other perks including auto care perks and 5% unlimited cashback through the OnePay CashRewards Credit Card.
