College students and grad students can subscribe to Walmart+ Student at a discounted rate of $49/year of $6.47/month after the free trial. Offer ends Sept. 13.
What is Walmart+? The subscription unlocks instant access to loads of benefits including shopping certain sales earlier than everyone else, special pricing and product releases. Walmart+ members also get a ton of freebies.
If you’re interested in more discount options, there’s another ways to join Walmart+ for $49 or 50% off the regular price — no promo code necessary. In addition to a student discount, Walmart offers a government assistance program that slices the subscription price in half.

Existing members who qualify for the price cut will receive a prorated refund and the discounted price will begin immediately, per Walmart.
How else can you save on Walmart+? If you’re not eligible for Walmart+ Assist or Walmart+ Student, don’t worry, you can still enjoy a free 30-day free trial with your subscription.
Walmart offers different plans that will save you up to half off the membership plan. For example, subscribe to the Walmart+ annual plan to save you around $5/month and over $100 per year on your Walmart+ subscription.
You can also give a Walmart+ membership as a birthday or back-to-school gift. A Walmart+ membership is perfect for shoppers who want access to special benefits such as free shipping and sweet deals.
How do you gift someone with a Walmart+ membership? Simply purchase a Walmart gift card, which can be used to cover the annual membership fee.
Walmart+ features member-only offers such as 10 cents off fuel at Exxon & Mobile stations, up to 5% back in Walmart Cash on flights, hotels, car rentals and activities booked through Walmart+ Travel.
What can you get for free with Walmart+? For starters, you’ll get free shipping with no order minimum, so you won’t have to worry about adding things to your cart that you might not even need just to get free shipping.
The membership also includes free grocery delivery, contact-free checkout with mobile-scan and go, travel deals, free subscriptions to Paramount+ and ad-free streaming with Pluto TV.
But wait, there’s more. Walmart+ members get free flat tire repair and other auto care and lots of other member benefits. Some of the limited offers available to Walmart+ members include a three month trial to the Peleton App, a free 30-day trial and 40% off Noom, three months of free Life360, a subscription to HISTORY Vault for $0.99/month, and 30% off Angi (formerly Angie’s List).
