Walmart+ costs half for SNAP users

Walmart has reduced the cost of its paid membership program for customers who receive specific government assistance.

The discount applies to individuals enrolled in SNAP, WIC, or Medicaid.

Walmart+ Assist allows these members to pay $6.47 per month instead of $12.95.

The annual fee drops from $98 to $49 under the same program.

The reduced price covers membership benefits, not the price of groceries or other goods.

Shoppers can verify their eligibility through the Walmart+ Assist page without a credit check.

This process does not affect the government benefits recipients already receive.

New members can start with a 30-day free trial.

The membership includes free delivery from stores on orders of at least $35.

Customers also receive next-day and two-day shipping from Walmart.com with no minimum purchase.

Most Marketplace items from third-party sellers are excluded from these shipping perks.

Prescription orders can be delivered with no minimum, including same-day service where available depending on the medication, though InHome delivery is not included for these orders, and members can schedule pickup for returns at their homes in participating areas without repacking or printing labels, and they can choose between Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential, switching services every 90 days, with Walmart calculating a potential savings of $129 annually on entertainment, and members save up to $0.10 per gallon at participating stations from Walmart, CITGO, Exxon, Mobil, and Murphy, plus member pricing at Sam’s Club, with savings varying by location and potentially being lower in Alabama, and they receive a 25% discount on one digital Burger King order per day and a free Whopper with any purchase every three months via the app or website, and early access to Black Friday deals starts at midnight Eastern Time on November 12, giving paid members a 24-hour head start online subject to stock availability, and additional perks include 25 free photo prints monthly, financial services savings, tire repairs, roadside warranty coverage, 24-hour veterinary access through Pawp standard membership, a 5% cash back on the OnePay CashRewards card subject to credit approval, up to 10% Walmart Cash on eligible travel bookings, and the Scan & Go feature for in-store payments.
