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.
It is called Walmart + Assist. It just started today. walmart.com /plus/assist

@elated @This is where I went but I can't find anything about it including Paramont+ or SS.

@Kachina624 Driver dumped your items at your front door? Did he/she ring your bell or knocked on your door?

No tipping involved w/this + service?

@SydneyH

she is not a driver.

not sure which bank it is through, but they offered her some perks if she got the amex card through them and that was one of the perks.

Apparently in N.J. you can get a discount if you are on EBT (SNAP/food stamps) but can't pay for your food w/it in N.J. How odd.

I found no mention of SS. It's possible it' only allowed in certain states like paying for your food w/EBT.

@Desertdi With Walmart+ you can get a 30 day trial of "In Home" where a Walmart employee delivers your groceries and puts them away. It's not clear before signing up how else they might help you.

Right now I wouldn't need this service, but we never know what the future might bring.

The only thing keeping me from having a Wal-Mart Plus subscription is the cost of weekly tips. I've read an acceptable amount is 15% of the total bill. That would add up fast. WM's only a little over a mile from my house, so I continue to go there for grocery pick-up.

Do you have any other details? I don't find anything about the price change on the website. I signed up for Paramount a while back.

There were places that refused to take American Express card though I don't know the reason. Is that still an issue? I've always had Visa or Mastercard, so I don't know how Amex works.

@Ainhisg : I live in Georgia and have Walmart+. On my website the recommended tip is 10 % of the order.

I am handicap and use a standup walker and this service is a necessity for me . I try to plan ahead and if my order is big and include a lot of heavy items , I will increase the tip.

I called and talked to someone in the corporate office to suggest some changes. If you use a Walmart gift card for your order then you can't include your tip on the gift card. There is no way with the same order to switch back to a debit card to add the tip. I don't always have extra change and don't have extra money in the house.

DH usually gives me Walmart gift cards to shop on line and this helps when I chose the shipping option instead of delivery. With the WM+ = no shipping fee.
