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.
Walmart+ renewal offers can include Walmart Cash credits that reduce the effective membership cost when the credit is applied.
Walmart+ can include Paramount+ or Peacock benefits, which can add entertainment value alongside shipping perks.
Walmart+ can provide free home shipping for merchandise categories like clothes, HBA, office, and electronics regardless of price.
Walmart+ Scan & Go can reduce checkout waiting by letting shoppers verify item prices while picking up orders.
Walmart+ renewal screens can show a $49 price while the actual renewal charge is $98, creating a mismatch at renewal time.
Cancellation flows may fail to show any discounted renewal offer, leaving the account to renew at the full $98 rate.
Free delivery for grocery orders can require a $25 or $35 minimum, so small grocery baskets may not qualify.
Scan & Go can be inconvenient when lanes are blocked or crowded, making regular registers with Walmart Pay easier to use.

I chose to cancel the sub, I was not offered a reduced rate or the walmart cash promo. We now have not sub and waiting for a deal to come along.
If no promo I'll skip this yr
Walmart DOES NOT just charge people $98 for a $49 membership promo, it would show at checkout how much your CC is being charged. I have the feeling you misunderstood what you were buying.
I did this and knew it would renew for full price. I chose to cancel and was not offered a new promo.

If auto renew, I'm sure the $98 price was shown as part of the terms when you signed up what the cost would be when the first year promo was up. If manual, usually you'd be taken to some kind of checkout screen that shows the amount being put on your credit card.
Of course w/auto renew situations, always best to remove the feature soon after you pay for the promo year.
Does Instacart give you a subscription to Paramount+ or Peacock?

For current subscribers that paid $49 last year this is what shows on their account. They just assume that it will renew at $49. But if you chick "manage" on the right it will show you full details of your sub including the renewal date and the renewal rate of $98.

Virtually every deal like this comes with auto-renewal at FULL PRICE, and it is up to you to remove the feature long before the renewal date.
