The deal for a discounted Walmart+ membership at $49 for one year is valid for purchase through July 18.
Deal basics
What is Walmart+?
Walmart+ is Walmart’s subscription program. It offers select perks to its members, including free deliveries, gas savings from Walmart, Exxon and Mobil, member-exclusive discounts; and Paramount+ access.
New users can sign up for a free 30-day trial, or you can join the program for $12.95 per month or pay $98 for an annual subscription. However, this program is available for half off ($49) through this link from now through noon EDT on July 18.
Those with The Platinum Card® from American Express can receive a statement credit for a Walmart+ membership (subject to auto-renewal). Using your card to pay for the membership will result in a credit of up to $12.95 per month plus applicable taxes. Walmart InHome Plus Up benefits are not eligible.
Bottom line
In addition to many membership perks, Walmart+ subscribers can access the annual Walmart+ Week, which usually takes place before Amazon Prime Day. This year, the sale ran from June 17 to 23 and included free express delivery, double savings on fuel and an additional 20% back in Walmart Cash on flights, hotels, car rentals and various activities booked through the Walmart+ Travel portal.
