Retailer launches a membership program that
helps put more time back in customers’ day while continuing to save
them money
Walmart is launching a new membership program that brings
together in-store and online benefits to save customers money and
time like no other retailer can: Walmart+.
Walmart+ uses the company’s unique assets to make life easier
for busy families. Along with the power of its online presence,
Walmart+ has the reach of more than 4,700 stores, including 2,700
stores that offer delivery as fast as same day. Members will
receive unlimited free delivery from stores, fuel discounts and
access to tools that make shopping faster for families. Membership
will be available to all customers on Sept. 15. It will cost $98 a
year or $12.95 a month and includes a 15-day free trial period. In
the future, the company will leverage its wide-ranging strengths to
add additional benefits for members in a variety of services and
offerings.
“We are a company committed to meeting our customers’ needs,”
said Janey Whiteside, chief customer officer, Walmart. “Customers
know they can trust us and depend on us, and we’ve designed this
program as the ultimate life hack for them. Walmart+ will bring
together a comprehensive set of benefits where we see the greatest
needs from our customers and where our scale can bring solutions at
an unprecedented value.”
The initial list of Walmart+ benefits are below. The list of
benefits will continue to grow over time.
- Unlimited free delivery: In-store prices as fast as
same-day on more than 160,000 items from tech and toys to household
essentials and groceries. This service was previously known as
Delivery Unlimited – a subscription service that allows customers
to place an unlimited number of deliveries for a low, flat yearly
or monthly fee. Current subscribers will automatically become
Walmart+ members.
- Scan & Go: Unlock Scan & Go in the Walmart app –
a fast way to shop in-store. Using the Walmart app, customers can
scan their items as they shop and pay using Walmart Pay for a
quick, easy, touch-free payment experience.
- Fuel discounts: Fill up and save up to 5 cents a gallon
at nearly 2,000 Walmart, Murphy USA and Murphy Express fuel
stations. Sam’s Club fuel stations will soon be added to this
lineup.
These benefits come in addition to the retailer’s existing
customer offerings like Walmart’s free curbside pickup, NextDay
delivery and two-day delivery. Walmart will continue to have
delivery options with a per-delivery transaction fee so customers
can choose the service that’s best for them.
“Life feels more complicated than ever. Walmart+ is designed to
make it easier – giving customers an option to not have to
sacrifice on cost or convenience,” added Whiteside. “We know
shopping should fit customers’ needs, not the other way around. We
have always been a champion for the right item at the right price,
but now it’s more than that. We have the right shopping solutions
at the right time, too.”
