Time is more valuable than money, you can earn more money but you can't earn more time.

Outside of Subscribe and Save on Amazon, which is great, Walmart is catching up. They have actual brick and mortar stores everywhere in this country, unlike Amazon outside which are mostly only in large cities. Walmart+ has a subscribe service, but no discount of 5-15% like Amazon, which I need to say again, is a big deal if you order a lot of stuff every month. Perhaps that will change in the future.
For people talking about tips, that's up to you. You don't have to tip anything of course, You are paying for a service that is supposed to be free delivery. The drivers are getting paid an actual wage/hr so It's up to you if you feel the need to do so. I always give tips, but it's up to the customer.
I chatted with customer service and was able to cancel with a full refund. Logged back in to my W+ account and was greeted by the $49 special.
Thx op

When talking about delivery from store, they always show you the tip boxes, which are optional of course (but will default to 10% if you see), for a service you are paying for. Unnlike Amazon, which no tip box is included since they pay their drivers already/which of course Walmart does as well.
That being said, for certain items, you can just the choose 'Shipping' option, and sometimes you can just get certain items delivered by drivers the next day from the nearest store. This does not always work though.
*In my area, Walmart employees do not deliver items. They are 3rd party delivery people hired by Walmart. You must live closer to a larger city where they have their own drivers deliver items. I'm 6 miles from my local Walmart, but about 50 miles from the largest city. The people delivering here, are most definitely regular joes/joettes using their own rides.
As others have noted, the 5% is only online not in stores. I think you are far better off using Sam's and Costco for food and gas purchases using Plus membership and Executive membership. I'm only comparing Amazon vs Walmart for everything non-food. I still think Amazon wins by a mile here.
As for returns, Amazon is still very easy. They have tons of very easy options.
I applied for the offer and got my e-gift card via email 6 hours later.

As to Walmart+, even more useless imo, but to each his own. I only use Walmart for non-produce grocery orders and do free curbside pickup. Never go into the place. Anything else online I might occasionally order from them I have shipped and meeting the limit is easy enough if you throw in some fillers like laundry detergent.
