Update: If you got in on this deal, you won’t receive the shipping pass but you will receive a $50 gift card.
Walmart is trying to compete with Amazon’s hugely successful Prime subscription service which offers free delivery with no minimum purchase among other benefits at a cost of $99 per year. Walmart is now rolling out a similar service for walmart.com purchases at a cost of $50 per year which will offer free 3-day shipping.
Currently, they have a deal going on with which you can buy the membership for just $1. We don’t know how long this will last, I’d suggest heading over there now and just buying the  membership for $1.
Important note: The Walmart system will automatically re-enroll you after the year is up, so be sure to cancel the re-enroll option. There’s supposed to be a way to opt out of auto re-enroll, but I had trouble doing so and I just bought the membership; I’ll worry later about opting out of the second-year cost.
