What is Walmart+?

Main Walmart+ benefits
Here are the benefits most people use. Walmart adds and changes perks from time to time, so check the Walmart+ page for the latest list.
- Free delivery from your store on orders of $35 or more. Orders under $35 have a small fee.
- Free shipping on items shipped from walmart.com, with no order minimum. Some large or heavy items are left out.
- Gas savings of up to 10 cents per gallon at participating Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy stations.
- A free streaming service. Members can choose Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium.
- Scan and Go in the Walmart app, so you can scan items as you shop and pay without waiting in line.
- Early access to deals during big sales events.
- Free returns from home on many items.
How to use your delivery benefit
- In the Walmart app, pick Delivery at the top.
- Choose a delivery time slot.
- Add at least $35 of items to your cart.
- Check out. The delivery fee should show as free.
You can add a tip for your driver when you check out. Tips are optional but a nice way to say thanks. If you are not sure how much to give, our guide on how to work out a tip makes it easy.
Is Walmart+ worth it?
It depends on how you shop. A simple way to decide is to add up what you would save in a month.
| If you... | You might save about |
|---|---|
| Get grocery delivery 2 times a month | $15 to $20 in delivery fees |
| Fill up a 15-gallon tank 4 times a month | About $6 in gas |
| Use the streaming service instead of paying for it | $8 to $11 |
If your savings add up to more than $8 to $13 a month, Walmart+ likely pays for itself. If you only visit Walmart once in a while and do not use delivery, it may not be worth it.
Good fit if you:
- Order groceries online often
- Live near a Walmart or member gas station
- Already want Paramount+ or Peacock
- Order a lot of small items online
Maybe skip it if you:
- Rarely shop at Walmart
- Prefer to pick up groceries yourself (pickup is often free anyway)
- Already pay for another delivery membership you use more
How to cancel Walmart+
- Sign in to your account on the Walmart app or walmart.com.
- Go to Account, then Walmart+.
- Tap Manage membership.
- Tap Cancel membership and follow the steps.
You can usually keep using your benefits until the end of the time you already paid for. If you cancel during the free trial, you should not be charged.
Tips to get the most from Walmart+
- Link your streaming account in the Walmart app so you do not miss that perk.
- Use the gas discount by opening the Walmart app at the pump.
- Plan bigger orders to reach the $35 delivery minimum.
- Watch for yearly plan sales if you know you will keep it.
- Check your email for member-only deals.
The bottom line
Signing up for Walmart+ takes just a few minutes on the app or at walmart.com/plus. Start with the 30-day free trial, try the free delivery and gas savings, and see if you use it enough. At $12.95 a month or $98 a year, it is a good deal for people who order groceries often, and easy to cancel if it is not the right fit.
