If you don’t have Walmart+, now’s the best time to become a member. From now until December 2, new and returning subscribers can sign up for an annual plan for only $49 (was $98). Walmart+ is already packed with value at full price, so the 50% discount makes it an absolute bargain. For instance, one of the perks is access to Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium. Do you subscribe to either of those streaming services? You are most likely spending more just on one of those services than you would on a Walmart+ annual plan right now.
The Walmart+ promotion is timed around the retailer’s trio of holiday sales, the first of which kicks off tonight. Members can shop Walmart’s Black Friday 2025 and Cyber Monday sales events five hours early. The retailer’s first Black Friday Deals Event runs November 14-16, but members can start shopping later today at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. The three-day sale will be available for everyone at 9 PM PT.
Walmart Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals Events:
- Black Friday Sale 1 — Nov. 14-16 | Early Access: Nov. 13 at 7 PM ET
- Black Friday Sale 2 — Nov. 25-30 | Early Access: Nov. 24 at 7 PM ET
- Cyber Monday Sale — Dec. 1 | Early Access: Nov. 30 at 7 PM ET
$49 (was $98)
Considering some of the best gaming, tech, and collectible deals routinely sell out during the early access portion of Walmart sales–or within minutes of the official start time–the membership can make it a lot easier to secure the deals you’re eyeing. Outside of early access to major sales, Walmart also sometimes hosts members-only restock events for Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering trading cards.
But even without early access or first dibs on restocks, the year-round benefits make Walmart+ a great subscription program.
Here are the highlights:
- Free shipping on all online orders
- Free same-day delivery from store ($35 minimum)
- Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium
- Choose one every 90 days.
- Save 10 cents per gallon on fuel
- Early access to big sales and product restocks
- Free online pet care
- Free returns from home
- Walmart+ Cash on travel bookings
- Rotating select of limited-time offers
Note: Active subscribers are not eligible for the sign-up promotion.
The free shipping on online orders is similar to Amazon Prime. Orders are typically delivered within two days, though one- and even same-day delivery are regular occurrences.
The free delivery from local stores perk is an even larger benefit, depending on your proximity to a brick-and-mortar store. Many subscribers can get their entire grocery orders delivered. But even if your Walmart doesn’t have a full supermarket, it’s still nice to be able to get free delivery on random products you’d normally have to drive to the store to buy. Local delivery is often fulfilled the same day you place your order, and you can schedule the time slot when making your purchase.
Walmart recently updated its streaming service perk from Paramount+ Essential to the choice between Paramount+ Essential and Peacock Premium. What’s cool is that you can switch between the two every 90 days.
Other perks include 10 cents off fuel, free pharmacy deliveries, free online pet care via Pawp, free automobile tire repair, 5% back in Walmart Cash on travel via Expedia, and the ability to return unwanted purchases from home. And if you do still find yourself in your local Walmart after getting a subscription, you can use the app to scan your items as you shop, which allows you to skip the normal checkout process.
