Walmart launched their Walmart+ subscription service a few months back with free deliveries from local Walmart stores. Starting Friday December 4, they’ll add free unlimited 2-day shipping on walmart.com orders with no minimum purchase amount. This makes the benefit more similar to Amazon Prime.
Walmart Grocery deliveries still require the $35 minimum. It’s only the ordinary Walmart.com delivery that are now getting free shipping with no minimum.
I didn’t really consider Walmart+ until now, but now it seems interesting. Not sure whether the benefit is worth the $98/yr or $12.95/mo cost for me, but given some stacking, I am considering it:
- They offer $55 signup offer via Swagbucks. Some people are even seeing a better $80 Swagbucks offer.
- Some have a $5 or $10 Chase Offer/Bank Amerideal for Walmart+.
- You can also try linking your card to Dosh and see if 10% cashback posts (technically, you need to clickthrough Dosh to get credit, but might work).
You can also sign up for one month if there’s a small time-frame where you find yourself needing many items online, e.g. during the holiday season.
I’d really like to see how this tests in the real world since sometimes retailers have ways of excluding certain products, etc, but I’m willing to give them a shot. It’s also good to see someone compete in a real way with Amazon. The Walmart.com 5% credit card gets more interesting now as well.
