Walmart + Subscription

elated — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:16:13 GMT

I was reading they have cut their annual rate for SNAP, Medicaid and Social Security from $98 to $49 or $6.47 monthly. They have included Paramount + in this subscription service.

@elated

Could you please tell us a little more about this? Where did you read it? I understand that SNAP and Medicaid are low income benefits, but then you also said Social Security, which many of us receive - not tied to low income. When I went to Walmart's website, it just offers me $12.95/month or $98/year. I feel as if something's missing here.

Many companies are now offering discounts to SNAP/Medicaid/Social Security recipients. Nice break for those with a low income or fixed income. They deserve the extra help.

Thanks for the exact website address @PickyPicky3 . I think I'd feel better about this if it were set up to assist ALL seniors, not just low income.

@shoesnbags The $49 offer was available to anyone during Amazon Prime week as competition. There was a thread here about it. I signed up for the first time and so did others here.

Are they offering it to Social Security recipients? That's not low income.

I'm not a senior, but was able to sign up for that same $49 deal a few weeks ago when they had a promotion. I read it on here and I believe others signed up as well.

I signed up for the $49. offer week before last. It was a limited time offer for anybody. I got my first free grocery delivery last week when it was 102°. It was effortless, except for putting them away. What a relief.

@Kachina624 This is not a complaint! Just a story.

My first delivery order was a disaster. Apparently the store gave it to a driver, but it never arrived at my house. The store would not cancel the order because they could not locate it.

The next day I placed the same order with a different store and everything was fine. However, it took a week of calls to Walmart customer service to straighten out the first order charges to my credit card.

Walmart+ Assist is a program where eligible customers are able to join Walmart+ at a discounted rate. This program is offered to anyone who qualifies for government assistance programs and can offer sufficient documents to prove their eligibility. Eligible programs include SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, TTANF, NSLP and LIHEAP.

It does not say Social Security. That would be very nice if it did.

@PickyPicky3. I guess I was lucky but mine went flawlessly. I signed up for an 11am-noon delivery and my order arrived at 11:05am. Everything I ordered was there. Never saw the driver.

I have SIX (6) Walmart stores within easy driving distance. Maybe they should change the name of this city to "Walnix"...

Obviously, I am missing something here.

I shop at Walmart because my prescriptions are filled there, and I always need something when I go there. It's a bit of a jaunt, so I rarely go more than once a month.

I have never seen anything about a membership in the store. Why would I pay any membership if I can shop by just walking in and selecting what I want?

Re: Walmart + Subscription

Kachina624 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 00:29:16 GMT

@Desertdi My closest store, a supercenter, is less than a mile, but somehow grocery pickup has always been a hassle so I jumped at the delivery option.

Re: Walmart + Subscription

sunshine45 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 00:36:37 GMT

my daughter has walmart + through her american express card for free, so i just use her account.

Re: Walmart + Subscription

Kachina624 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 00:37:31 GMT

@Tinkrbl44 The offer was for free delivery of stores and warehouse items for a year with no minimum. If I'm baking and need a bottle of vanilla, they'll bring it to.me.

@Kachina624 My kitchen is at the very BACK of this house. First time ever that I've lived in a place where the kitchen wasn't in front.

It's a real pain in the *** dragging the groceries in, especially since it's a dog-leg path down two hallways. (Maybe that's why this place was a "bargain" !!!!) di

It does state Social Security on the article I read. The Bentonville, Arkansas based retailer said the Walmart + service will cost $49 a year or $6.47 per month for those on Medicaid, Social Security, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (commonly known as food stamps) or other programs.

@elated @Hi elated. Where can I find the article you read. My post comes from the WM website and maybe they have not updated their site. Thanks.
