What is Walmart+?

Walmart+ is the retail giant’s answer to Amazon Prime. It's a membership-based service that provides benefits to in-store and online shoppers. Walmart+ doesn’t offer all the same bells and whistles you get with Prime. Right off the bat, however, Walmart+ has pricing options, added benefits through the Walmart mobile app and thousands of physical stores across the U.S. to set it apart from the competition. Those benefits include members-only gas prices, free unlimited delivery, scan-and-go service through the mobile app and so much more.

Does Walmart+ Travel cost anything?

Technically yes, given that you need a Walmart+ membership to access Walmart+ Travel. While it doesn't cost anything to access Walmart+ Travel's flight and hotel services, Walmart+ memberships run $98 a year for an annual membership or $12.97 a month. You can see if you like what it has to offer with a 30-day free trial!

First, you'll need to sign up for Walmart+. Then, go to WalmartPlusTravel.com and shop for flights, hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, vacation packages and more. Once you do your booking, any Walmart Cash you earned with your purchase will go directly into your Walmart wallet. That Walmart Cash will be available to you 30 days after your travel is completed. Whether you shop at Walmart stores or enjoy scrolling through options online, Walmart Cash can be redeemed online or in person.
