Members of Walmart Plus will receive unlimited free delivery from stores and fuel discounts from participating gas stations. The subscription service will cost $98 a year or $12.95 a month. It comes with a 15-day trial period.
According to their press releases, Walmart Plus will feature “in-store prices” and same-day delivery on over 160,000 items. So beyond groceries, you can have in-store items delivered to your home with no added fees. There is a $35 minimum purchase required for deliveries.

Does Walmart Plus offer any in-store benefits?
If you have the Walmart app, you can use Scan & Go and scan your items as you shop, check out using Walmart Pay, and not have to wait in the checkout line.
Gas savings with Walmart Plus
Customers can save 5 cents per gallon when they fuel up at nearly 2,000 gas stations including Walmart, Murphy USA, and Murphy Express fuel stations. Sam’s Club fuel stations will soon be added, the company said in a news release.
Is Walmart Plus worth the cost?
If you live close enough to a Walmart store to qualify for delivery and you already shop for groceries at your local Walmart, it could be a timesaver. If you find yourself in the store once or twice a week, divide that into the $98 annual fee to help you to decide.
I can see the benefits for those working at home with children, the elderly, and those who are not comfortable shopping in stores right now. If you are undecided, you can try the 15 day trial period or pay the monthly fee for a month or two before committing to the annual plan.
According to Janey Whiteside, chief customer officer at Walmart, she calls the new program “the ultimate life hack.” “Walmart+ will bring together a comprehensive set of benefits where we see the greatest needs from our customers and where our scale can bring solutions at an unprecedented value,” she said in a statement.
