Walmart cuts Walmart+ in half ahead of Walmart Deals

Walmart+ 50% – Walmart is offering a 50% discount on new and eligible Walmart+ memberships ahead of its Deals event starting June 22—bringing the annual price down to $49 from $98.
For shoppers already bracing for Prime Day hype, Walmart just made a different pitch—pay less for the membership perks before the big savings window even opens.
Right now, Walmart is discounting Walmart+ by 50% ahead of its Walmart Deals event, which starts on June 22 for Walmart+ members. The math is straightforward: instead of paying $98 per year, you can get an annual Walmart+ subscription for $49.
Walmart+ typically costs $12.95/month or $98/year (plus applicable taxes). With this promotion, the $49 annual membership works out to about $4.08 per month.
If you’re planning to shop, the timing matters. Walmart’s Deals event runs from Monday, June 22, at 12 a.m. ET through Sunday, June 28. Walmart notes that you won’t need a Walmart+ membership to shop the deals event. but a Walmart+ subscription unlocks access to the event—and the perks that come with the program.
Walmart+ is built around everyday convenience and ongoing savings. The membership includes free delivery from your store. free shipping with no order minimum. and 10 cents per gallon savings at 13. 000+ fuel locations nationwide. Those locations include Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy stations. It also bundles video streaming with Paramount+. auto care services. returns from home. early access to exclusive savings. and mobile scan and go.
This 50% off offer is not something Walmart runs constantly. The last time the deal was seen was ahead of Black Friday, so the discount is arriving sooner than many shoppers expect.
The deal comes with clear limits. Walmart says the offer is available only to new, expired, monthly, and current Walmart+ trial members. It also says members through Walmart+ Assist, or with InHome or Paramount+ with SHOWTIME are not eligible.
After the promotional term ends, Walmart’s terms say the plan auto-renews for $98/year plus any applicable taxes. If a trial member uses the promo, Walmart says the promotional term starts immediately and the remainder of the free trial is forfeited.
For anyone deciding whether this is worth locking in. Walmart+ supporters point to the membership benefits that last well beyond a single week. Early access to exclusive savings. free shipping without an order minimum. and fuel savings are all perks that can stack over time—especially for frequent Walmart shoppers.
A deals rating backs the push. Based on ZDNET’s deals rating system, the 50% off membership deal is rated 5/5 as an Editor’s deal rating. The shopping editor endorses it as a strong chance to take advantage of a membership packed with benefits for less. and as an opportunity to scoop up savings ahead of Walmart Deals and Prime Day.
ZDNET says the deal is available at least through the start of Walmart Deals on June 22, and that it can be purchased as a one-year annual Walmart+ membership for just $49 (saving 50%).
In the background. ZDNET frames how it rates offers: a percentage-off-based system classifies savings on top-tech products. paired with a sliding-scale approach based on team expertise and factors like frequency and brand or product recognition. The outlet says its editor’s deal rating badges are affixed to most of its deal content.
The core message for shoppers is simple: Walmart is offering the annual Walmart+ plan at half price now, with the membership tied directly to Walmart’s Deals event starting June 22—while the program’s broader benefits continue after that week is over.

So basically Walmart + is just like Prime but cheaper? Kinda.
I read this like “$49 from $98” and thought cool, then I’m like wait is that per month?? Walmart never makes anything clear. Also it says you don’t need membership to shop the deals, so why am I paying at all?
The gas savings part confuses me. It says 10 cents off and like 13,000 stations with Exxon and Mobil but I swear those change all the time. Like are they even really honoring that or is it some fine print thing? I only care if I can actually save.
Walmart cutting it in half feels like bait for Deals starting June 22. I guarantee the “discount” stuff will be the same items that were already on sale last week. Plus “mobile scan and go” sounds like another way to get your info, not a perk. I’ll probably just wait until the Deals week without paying for anything.
