The Walmart membership bundle launched on October 20, 2026, combining Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus for $120 a year. Walmart said the offer costs almost $100 less than buying the two memberships separately and is available to both new and existing members.
Key Takeaways
- The $120 annual package includes both full memberships, with delivery, streaming and fuel benefits subject to conditions.
- Existing members can upgrade or link accounts, with most customers already paying for both eligible for a prorated Walmart+ refund.
- Walmart does not expect program costs to materially affect its fiscal third-quarter or full-year guidance.

Walmart membership bundle combines two shopping services
Walmart’s combined membership announcement sets the annual price at the equivalent of $10 a month, although the package is priced annually. The offer brings together Walmart’s shopping and delivery membership with the Plus tier of its warehouse-club business.
The distinction matters for customers comparing costs: this is a package of two memberships, rather than a discount on Walmart+ alone. Its practical value depends on whether a household uses both Walmart and Sam’s Club, along with the benefits attached to each.
The package includes Sam’s Club access, free delivery subject to order minimums and availability, a choice of an ad-supported streaming service, fuel discounts and Sam’s Cash on eligible purchases.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| New members | Both memberships for $120 a year. |
| Walmart+ annual members | Add Sam’s Club Plus for $22 more a year. |
| Sam’s Club members | Upgrade to Plus for $60 more a year and receive Walmart+. |
| Sam’s Club Plus members | Activate Walmart+ at no additional cost. |
| Customers paying for both | Link accounts; most are eligible for a prorated Walmart+ refund. |
Benefit limits and existing-member options
Scheduled Walmart delivery orders require a $35 minimum, while Sam’s Club delivery orders require $50. Other availability restrictions and terms apply, so the membership does not make every delivery free.
Members can choose Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential, with the option to change their selection every 90 days. Additional registration is required. Fuel savings are 10 cents a gallon at more than 17,000 participating stations, except in Alabama, where savings range from 5 to 10 cents.
The Sam’s Cash benefit is 2% on qualifying purchases, capped at $750 a year. Existing customers have different routes into the package depending on their current membership, as outlined below.
Walmart keeps its guidance unchanged
Walmart said costs associated with the membership change are not expected to materially affect its fiscal third-quarter or full-year guidance provided on August 20, 2026. That is management’s expectation, not a reported financial result.
The company also said U.S. field associates at Walmart and Sam’s Club will receive both memberships as part of their benefits. The announcement did not provide enrollment targets or quantify the package’s expected revenue contribution.
Conclusion
The Walmart membership bundle lowers the combined annual cost for customers who use both services, while retaining benefit limits and eligibility terms. Existing members can now review their upgrade or account-linking options; Walmart’s stated financial benchmark remains its August 20 guidance.
