Maybe it just isn't for you
Walmart Plus is making a play to be one of Amazon Prime’s main competitors. It offers many similar benefits to subscribers, including no delivery fees from your local store, free shipping with no order minimum, fuel savings at qualified gas stations, and more.
Combine that with the fact it includes a 30-day trial, and that membership fees are only $12.95 per month or $98 per year (that’s about $50 less than Amazon Prime, by the way). So, a Walmart Plus membership looks like a great deal. But, if you decide it’s not for you and you want to cancel, here’s how.

How Do I Cancel My Walmart Plus Subscription?
There are several different ways to cut a Walmart Plus subscription short.
How to Cancel a Free Trial
If you’re in the trial period for Walmart Plus, all you have to do is cancel your free trial.
- Go to Walmart.com.
- Select Account in the top-right corner, then select Account from the drop-down menu.
- On the left-hand side, select Walmart+.
- Select Manage membership.
- At the bottom of the page, select Cancel free trial.
If you’re still in your trial period, an easy hack is to wait till almost the last day to do this. The site will ask if you really want to cancel, or if you want to extend your membership for an additional 15 days. If so, select Extend free trial. If not, select Cancel free trial.
If you don’t cancel your free trial, your credit card will automatically be charged the cost of the membership program at the end of the free trial period.
How to Cancel a Paid Membership
Canceling a paid membership is almost identical to canceling a free trial. If you signed up by accident, don’t worry; you have 48 hours from the start of your subscription to cancel and receive a full refund.
- Go to Walmart.com.
- Select Account in the top-right corner, then select Account from the drop-down menu.
- On the left-hand side, select Walmart+.
- Select Manage membership.
- At the bottom of the page, select Cancel Walmart+.
- On the next page, select Cancel membership.
- Answer the questions and then select Cancel membership once more.
That’s all there is to it. Your membership will be canceled, but you will still have full benefits until the end of the billing cycle.

What Benefits Are Included With a Walmart Plus Subscription?
As far as retailer subscription service perks go, Walmart Plus is near the top of the charts. It brings a lot of added value to customers, especially if Walmart is your main store.
One of the first perks you receive is a free six months of Spotify Premium. For reference, that’s a value – more than half of the yearly cost of a Walmart Plus subscription. It also includes video streaming through Paramount Plus’ Essential plan, too. That’s a lot of entertainment stacked on top of the normal benefits.
Another benefit is free delivery from your local Walmart store, provided your order is at least $35. There are some restrictions, and you need to reserve a time in advance. You can also get free shipping (with the exception of oversized and Marketplace items). This includes same-day and next-day delivery, too; perfect for when you use Walmart mostly as a grocery delivery service.
Perhaps the most valuable perk, especially with gas prices as high as they still are, is the member prices on fuel. Walmart Plus members can get fuel discounts of up to $0.10 per gallon at participating fuel stations, including Exon, Mobil, and Murphy USA stations.
If you’re in a hurry, another major perk is the Mobile Scan & Go feature. You can use your Walmart app to scan items as you add them to your cart, and then when you’re ready to checkout you don’t have to go through the hassle of taking everything back out.
Walmart Plus also grants users access to exclusive deals and special offers through the mobile app and online, especially around Black Friday and other sales periods.
What Happens to Walmart Rewards When I Cancel My Account?
Your Walmart Rewards are valid only as long as your Walmart account is active and in good standing. This means that if you cancel your account, your rewards will go away when your subscription ends. You can use these rewards to save money at checkout, or you can redeem them for a gift card.
If you plan to cancel your subscription plan, make sure to use your rewards first. Bear in mind that Walmart Rewards is different from Walmart Pay; the latter is a service that stores your debit card on your phone for easy use when shopping online or through the app.
