Walmart bundles Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus into one $120 membership
In brief
Walmart on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, launched a joint membership that combines Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus for $120 a year. The company says that is almost $100 less than paying for the two memberships separately. There is no monthly payment option for the bundle, and both standalone memberships remain available.
What the bundle includes
According to Walmart's announcement, members get access to Sam's Club warehouses with member pricing, free delivery from both Walmart and Sam's Club, a choice of Peacock or Paramount+, gas savings of 10 cents a gallon at more than 17,000 participating stations, and 2% back in Sam's Cash on eligible purchases. CNBC reported that shoppers who already hold both memberships can link their accounts to get the lower price, and that Walmart and Sam's Club employees will also receive the joint membership as a benefit.
Why Walmart is doing it
CNBC noted that Walmart has been leaning on value and convenience as shoppers deal with high gas and food prices. Walmart's membership revenue grew 17% globally in its fiscal second quarter, and Sam's Club e-commerce sales rose 26% in the same period. "For $120 a year, we're raising expectations for what a membership can deliver," Walmart CEO John Furner said in a statement. The company said the cost of the change is not expected to materially affect its financial guidance.
VSH take: a membership only saves money if you use it. A quick test: add up what you spent last year on delivery fees, one streaming service and fuel, then compare it with $120. Our percentage calculator shows the real discount, the unit price comparer tells you whether a bulk warehouse pack is actually cheaper per item, and the fuel cost calculator estimates what 10 cents a gallon is worth on your own driving.
