Families looking to save money on groceries, household items and other essentials may want to consider Walmart’s new package deal. The Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus memberships are now available together for $120 per year.
This could be a good option for households that shop regularly at Walmart and Sam’s Club. Depending on how often families use the services included in the package, the bundle could help them save money.
What Does the $120 Membership Bundle Include?
Per Walmart, this package provides two paid memberships for $120 per year. Walmart+ offers benefits when you shop at Walmart, while Sam’s Club Plus offers additional benefits when you shop at Sam’s Club.
This allows families to access both memberships through one package. However, check the terms and conditions to ensure they qualify, understand how to activate the bundle and review the benefits included with both plans.
What Benefits Do Families Get With the Bundle?
The combined membership offers several benefits that could be useful for busy households:
- Delivery from both retailers: Walmart+ offers free, scheduled delivery on eligible orders of $35 or more. Sam’s Club Plus includes free standard delivery on eligible orders of $50 or more, subject to availability and other restrictions.
- Gas savings: Members can save 10 cents per gallon at participating gas stations.
- Streaming choice: Members can choose between Peacock Premium and Paramount+ Essential, both ad-supported. The selected service can be changed once every 90 days.
- Sam’s Cash rewards: Sam’s Club Plus members earn 2 percent Sam’s Cash on eligible purchases, subject to program limits and exclusions.
- Warehouse shopping: Members can shop at Sam’s Club and access member-only pricing on eligible products.
How Can Existing Members Get the Bundle?
The offer also provides options for people who already pay for one or both memberships.
- Walmart+ annual members: They can switch to the combined membership for an additional $22 per year.
- Sam’s Club members: Members with the standard plan can upgrade to Sam’s Club Plus for an additional $60 per year and receive Walmart+.
- Sam’s Club Plus members: They can activate Walmart+ at no additional cost.
- People paying for both memberships: They can link their accounts and most eligible members can receive a prorated refund for Walmart+.
The combined plan costs $120 per year plus applicable taxes. It is an annual membership, not a monthly subscription and the bundle has no free trial.
Is the $120 Bundle Worth It for Families?
For regular shoppers of both stores, this could be a good deal. Previously, paying for both Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus would have cost around $218 annually. At $120 per year, the combined package could save approximately $98.
Families that use delivery regularly, buy groceries and household items in bulk at Sam’s Club and take advantage of the fuel and streaming benefits may get more value from the combined package.
However, if a household rarely shops at both stores, doesn’t order deliveries often or doesn’t use the streaming service, the bundle may not be worth it. Families should also consider whether buying in bulk actually saves money, since some products may expire before they are used.
Before signing up, families should consider which benefits they would use and how the membership fits their current shopping habits.
