Walmart+ is being used for free shipping, grocery delivery, gas savings, and streaming perks like Paramount+ or Peacock, with Scan and Go and occasional early access adding value for some households. The strongest savings come from stacking renewal promos, Walmart Cash, and Amex offers, which can cut the effective cost to about $49 or even make a year nearly free. The main catch is that the renewal flow often shows $49 while the actual auto renewal is $98, and cancellation sometimes only leads to a refund or a later offer. Free delivery also has minimums on groceries, and Scan and Go can be inconvenient in crowded stores.
Common Questions (5)
The Amex deal is structured as paying the full $98 Walmart+ renewal price and receiving about $49 back as a statement credit or Walmart Cash, making the effective cost $49. It is not a checkout charge of $49.
Yes, some cancellation flows surface a $50 Walmart Cash retention offer or a 50% off renewal offer. It may appear immediately during cancellation, later in checkout, or after removing payment methods, and it can be tied to the next renewal date.
The promo year renews at the regular $98 annual rate unless you cancel before renewal. Several accounts showed a $49-looking renewal screen, but the actual charge at renewal was $98 plus tax.
Grocery delivery still has a minimum order threshold, commonly $25 or $35, to qualify for free delivery. Non-grocery merchandise marked as shipping can ship free to home regardless of price, even very small items.
Walmart+ includes Paramount+ or Peacock as a member benefit, along with perks like fuel savings and occasional early access. Some members value the streaming benefit enough to justify the annual fee.

Yeah, shame on us for assuming that when it says renews at $49 on October 31 in our account, it would actually renew at $49.
Auto renew can typically be removed soon after you sign up so you don't forget and get billed at a later date.
Sorry if telling people that it is THEIR responsibility to read the terms on these deals (and typically on SD, deals like this will clearly say AUTO RENEWAL at higher price) seems harsh. But getting upset when you are indeed billed what the terms told you would be billed when you SIGNED UP is simply your own fault. Sorry, but it is. Read what you are signing basically.
And if you did get sideswiped not expecting it, Walmart will cancel and refund you, but claiming you were overcharged is simply not true. YOU AGREED TO THE TERMS one year ago.
and there is a free month with something called "sparkpromo21"
"enjoy 1 month of Walmart+ for free"
When I try sparkpromo21
It says "looks like that code is invalid"

edit to add: i canceled a few weeks ago. no offer to renew.
No offer at all.
And just checked about rejoining and didn't get the $50 Walmart Cash offer.
Guess this one is YMMV
update: my membership is set to cancel today as the last day
I did NOT get a 50% offer when I cancelled
HOWEVER
this magically appeared today in the cart, a 50% offer
I am still on my last day of membership from last year but it is set to cancel
so add something to your delivery carts and watch for the offer to popup eventually
it was NOT there yesterday

This is the email I got on 10/14/25 when I was signed up for the $49 promotion that was on this forum back in October.
You're still getting 50% off your next year of Walmart+
