Update 9/10/20: Placeholder page has been removed and you can now sign up. Might still be worth waiting to see if they have any official launch specials or if it hits any portals. Might be able to get an extra 15 day trial (30 days total) when answering three questions after sign up. Hat tip to @itsbuenaventura
Walmart has announced that Amazon Prime competitor Walmart+ (Walmart Plus) will officially launch on September 15. The new service will cost $98 per year or $12.95 monthly. At launch there will be a 15 day free trial. The service will offer the following (not dissimilar to the rumored benefits):
- Unlimited free deliveries on orders from 4,700 stores (160,000 items at launch)
- Discounts at Walmart and partner gas stations (Murphy USA and Murphy Express fuel stations). Discounts of up to 5¢ per gallon
- Access to scan & go in store (e.g scan items in store and exit without visiting a cashier. Pay via Walmart Pay)
For reference Amazon Prime currently costs $119 annually or $12.99 month to month. It’s unclear if Walmart will have cheaper membership options for students and EBT/Medicaid users as Amazon does.
