WALMART has slashed 50 percent off its popular subscription service as part of its Fourth of July sale.
The retailer announced it is offering a year of Walmart+ membership at half price.

With the discount, new subscribers will spend $49 annually or $6.47 monthly.
Members get early access to deals and everyday savings, including fuel discounts – like up to 10 cents off per gallon.
Other perks include free shipping with no minimum purchase and same-day delivery on select items.
Walmart+ also offers Scan and Go shopping via the app, along with shopping rewards and more.
Paramount+ is included with the membership, though the basic tier includes ads.
The 50 percent offer doesn’t include the 30-day free trial.
Walmart advertises the deal as “limited time only” on its website.
The promotion reads: “Get 50% off annual membership!
“Members get Early Access to hot Deals 7/7 at 7pm ET, plus all the benefits of Walmart+ like free delivery & gas savings.”
The retailer notes that the offer – available online only – excludes current members.
The deadline to sign up for the half-price membership is July 15.
Walmart first launched its membership service, Walmart+, in 2020, aiming to compete with Amazon Prime.
Walmart+ currently has around 25 million US members, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners estimates for the April 2025 quarter.
It comes as one Walmart+ member complained after a $6.99 delivery fee was added to their order for not meeting the $35 minimum.
The customer said they had a subscription for around two years and had never encountered the fee before.
Walmart customers without a membership are typically charged a delivery fee of $7.95 to $9.95.
Customers who pay for a Walmart+ subscription – which costs $12.95 per month or $98 annually – receive free delivery on orders over $35.
Orders under $35 are subject to a $6.99 minimum order fee.
The company had paused the fee during the Covid-19 pandemic but reinstated it in April this year.
