Walmart’s current 50% Walmart+ discount is for qualifying government assistance recipients and college students—not a general sale verified through December 2, 2026. Eligible members pay $49 per year or $6.47 per month. Walmart also advertises a $1 30-day trial, but check your account’s checkout terms before signing up because offers and renewal terms can vary.

Is there a Walmart+ 50% off deal through December 2, 2026?

Walmart’s membership page currently lists discounted pricing for eligible assistance recipients and students, but it does not establish a general 50%-off offer ending December 2, 2026. A $49 Walmart+ offer reported as ending December 2 appears in 2025 deal coverage, not evidence of a 2026 deadline. Tom’s Guide reported that historical offer on November 10, 2025; do not treat that date as a current promotion.

Who qualifies for half-price Walmart+?

Government assistance recipients

Walmart identifies SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, TTANF, NSLP and LIHEAP among qualifying programs. The Walmart+ Assist program offers eligible customers half-price monthly or annual memberships. Walmart’s July 20, 2023 announcement described the program’s launch; consult Walmart’s current membership page and terms for present prices and requirements.

College students

Walmart+ Student is for people enrolled in an undergraduate or advanced degree program at a Title IV-accredited college or university in the United States who reside in the U.S. Walmart may verify eligibility through SheerID or another third-party service. Verified status lasts one year and is rechecked. If you cannot re-verify, the membership may renew at the then-current price unless you cancel.

What Walmart+ includes—and what can affect its value

Walmart lists free store delivery on orders over $35, subject to restrictions, and free next-day or two-day shipping on Walmart.com with no order minimum. Most Marketplace items are excluded from shipping; freight or location surcharges may apply. Delivery availability and other benefits can depend on location and eligibility.

  • Streaming: Choose one ad-supported plan—Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential—and switch between them every 90 days.
  • Fuel: Save 10 cents per gallon at participating Walmart, CITGO, Exxon, Mobil and Murphy stations. Walmart lists a location-specific Alabama exception of 5–10 cents.
  • Other listed benefits: Pharmacy delivery, photo prints, money-service savings, tire repair and road hazard warranty, pet care, returns pickup, Scan & Go and early deal access, each subject to its applicable terms, availability, eligibility or location limits.

Whether the membership is worth the price depends on how often you use delivery, shipping and fuel savings, whether the streaming option is useful to you, and which benefits are available where you live. Walmart estimates average savings of $382 per year for annual members with at least 12 months of membership, compared with nonmember prices or fees; the estimate excludes the $98 annual fee. This is Walmart’s estimate, not an independently verified or guaranteed amount for an individual. Walmart’s terms also caution that savings estimates may omit taxes, tips, third-party fees, delivery minimums or outside promotions.
