Who in the great hell of platinum cardholders would care about this when they get free monthly Walmart+ membership already?
To my knowledge it is only if you apply for government assistance through SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, etc. No idea how 'anyone' can get it now for $49… https://www.walmart.com/plus/assist
My membership that I got for $49 or maybe even less last year is up for renewal... I told it to cancel... It offered to reduce the rate to $49.

Came here to say the same thing....I don't understand the benefit here when the monthly is fully covered.
Because not everyone has a platinum. I wish Amex was smart about it and just cover entire years worth. They are losing money paying monthly credits instead of paying one time year.
LOL same here. IIRC Amex had the $49 offer and WM was offering $50 in Walmart cash, basically making the service free/cheap for a year. I signed up, went to WM to cash out the $$ (whatever it was, $40, $50, I don't remember), connected my Paramount+ account (which we don't watch) and haven't used the service at all.
I also got on that deal, paid $8 or so for the year of Walmart+. Wouldn't pay $100/yr for it, but between saving $1 and some change every time I go to the gas station, and being able to almost always get free same-day delivery on whatever supplies we need around the house / garden, I definitely got some value out of it. I do now see the offer again on another AMEX card, wonder if they'll be offering something similar to WM cash deal next year, and I should create a new WM account in anticipation of that.

Of course platinum (Gold, Silver...) cardholders will pay annual fee associated with card terms, so technically if cardholders are not utilizing all the benefits offered by the card then it's not free. It's debatable and you could justify and I'm not denying whatever the justification one come up with. Hey if it's working for you that's good

Waiting for the cashback or a discount offer to pair with this. It's on my blue cash card. It was also there last time Walmart did the $50 cashback, but I procrastinated.
I'd like to also mention how worthless the comments have been so far.

The only thing I'll say is that this is a way to potentially ditch the platinum card and/or have a soft landing on some of the benefits as this deal seems to be happening at least a couple of times a year. I really started questioning the platinum value proposition this year or maybe end of last year when they jacked up the price of the additional platinum cards that I had given my family. I think the platinum card has really struggled with an identity crisis as to whether it is a premiere travel card or something for everyone meaning mediocre. I switched the family to the no fee white cards and called AMEX to effectively say the same thing and they offered me a spend challenge to get half my annual fee back for $3K spend in 3 months. That kicked the can down the road for them with me a bit but there are just to many compromises:
Walmart+ benefit is something my spouse absolutely loves. Favorite benefit but can be obtained other ways.
CLEAR price increases result in no more family passes with platinum credit
Disney price increases result in partial offset of cost with platinum credit
Saks credit is an absolute joke unless you can catch a sale with something you need (not want lol)
AMEX points are the joke-of-jokes of travel portals. Only effective use is transferring to travel partners.
Centurion lounge access at DFW is an exercise of patience with wait times too long. Some of the Priority Pass options are decent.
$200 hotel credit is a total crapshoot on location and availability of a reasonable room rate. The AMEX travel portal totally games the pricing in the US as the same room can be had far less with any other travel portal. International seems to be a different story and have gotten some really sweet deals with the credit and perks.
$200 airline credit is decent for non-elites but hard to spend if you are an upper tier elite and who is going to fly another airline when you have so many benefits...maybe family travel is a good scenario.
CLEAR membership credit is nice but I literally have that on all my cards.
AMEX offers is nice but I have several other no-fee AMEX cards that trigger these.
UBER credit each month would be nice if it didn't jack up pricing compared to Lyft. At least you can order a lunch once a month.
Anyhoo, I don't get credit cards for status reasons but I do get them to get an initial bonus and "break even" for perks and spend. Platinum has started to drift off-course IMHO so this year will likely be another CSR retention opportunity and starting to evaluate rolling my own deals like this instead of perks that are starting to force me to spend on things I don't really need or want and/or can optimize with more spend on another card.
no amex offer for me this time but did this when offered early this year and double dipped with $50 wally cash they were giving. I hope they bring that back and I get this offer too!
