Walmart+ Membership — Full Guide to Plans, Senior Savings, and How to Cancel

Walmart+ is Walmart’s paid membership program offering free grocery delivery, free shipping, fuel discounts, and more for $98 per year. This guide covers every fee, the half-price Assist program for low-income shoppers, how seniors can stack benefits with Medicare and SNAP, and exactly how to cancel if you decide the membership isn’t for you.

$98/year Standard Walmart+ annual plan — about $8.17 per month. Monthly plan is $12.95. No hidden fees beyond the membership itself. A free 30-day trial is available to all new members. (Walmart.com/plus, verified 2026)
$49/year Walmart+ Assist — 50% off for recipients of SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, LIHEAP, VA Pension Benefits, and other qualifying government programs. No credit check. Verification takes minutes. AARP members who don’t qualify for Assist pay about $58/year. (Walmart.com/plus/assist)
No Age Discount Walmart does not offer any age-based senior discount — not on membership and not in stores. The Assist program is income/benefit-based, not age-based. However, seniors on fixed incomes often qualify through Medicaid, SSI, or SNAP. (TheSeniorList.com, Jan 2026 • BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026)

What Walmart+ Is — Launched 2020 as Walmart’s Answer to Amazon Prime

💡 Walmart+ Is a Subscription That Pays for Itself Through Delivery Savings Alone Launched in September 2020, Walmart+ is Walmart’s premium membership club. Unlike Amazon Prime, which leans heavily on entertainment, Walmart+ focuses on practical, real-world savings: free grocery delivery to your door, fuel discounts at more than 13,000 gas stations, free shipping on any online order regardless of size, and pharmacy delivery of prescriptions. For seniors who shop at Walmart regularly — especially for groceries and medications — the math often works strongly in their favor.

🚚 Free Grocery Delivery

Groceries from your local Walmart delivered to your door — including your kitchen, garage, or wherever you prefer (with the InHome add-on). Orders over $35 deliver free with no delivery fee and no item markups. Tipping is optional; standard delivery windows are same-day to next-day. Invaluable for seniors with limited mobility or no transportation. ($35 order minimum; restrictions apply. Walmart.com)

📦 Free Shipping, No Minimum

Shop Walmart.com and get free shipping on any order, no matter how small. Without membership, free shipping requires a $35 minimum. Members can order a single box of bandages, one bottle of vitamins, or any small household item and pay zero shipping. Especially useful for ordering prescriptions, OTC medications, or household staples you’d otherwise drive to pick up.

⛽ Fuel Savings at 13,000+ Stations

Members save 10 cents per gallon at Walmart fuel stations, Murphy USA, Exxon, Mobil, and Sam’s Club. (5 cents in Alabama and Oklahoma.) At the average American consumption of roughly 500 gallons per year, that’s about $50 saved annually — just on gas. For seniors who drive regularly, this is one of the most reliable ways to recoup the membership fee. (Walmart.com/plus)

💊 Free Pharmacy Delivery

Members get free home delivery from Walmart Pharmacy in 49 states (no order minimum). Non-members pay $9.95 per delivery. Walmart also runs a $4 prescription program — many common generics cost just $4 for a 30-day supply or $10 for a 90-day supply, no insurance required. For seniors on multiple medications, the combination of free delivery and $4 generics can produce meaningful annual savings. (BudgetSeniors.com, Mar 2026)

🎬 Free Streaming Choice

Every Walmart+ member gets a free Paramount+ Essential subscription (45,000+ episodes, movies, and live sports) OR free Peacock (NBC content, live sports, news). Choose one. Paramount+ alone normally costs $5.99–$7.99/month. If you’re currently paying for either service separately, canceling that subscription and getting it free through Walmart+ can recover most of the membership cost on its own. (Billboard / Walmart.com, verified 2026)

📱 Mobile Scan & Go

If you shop in-store, use the Walmart app to scan items as you add them to your cart and pay from your phone — no checkout line needed. Particularly valuable for seniors who are immunocompromised, have mobility challenges, or find standing in long lines uncomfortable. Also available: curbside pickup (free, no membership required) for orders placed through the app. (Walmart.com)

🚗 Free Tire Repair

Members get free flat tire repair and a free road hazard warranty at Walmart Auto Care Centers (not available in New York; restrictions apply). Flat tire repair without a membership or warranty typically costs $15–$30. This benefit applies to tires purchased and installed at Walmart. For seniors on fixed incomes, unexpected car repair bills are a real financial stressor — this provides a small but genuine safety net. (Walmart.com/plus)

🍄 Burger King Savings

Members get 25% off digital Burger King orders every day, plus a free Whopper with any purchase every three months. Small perk but surprisingly useful: if you grab a fast food meal once a month and save $3 per order, that’s $36/year. Add four free Whoppers (valued at $7+ each in 2026) and the annual fast food savings approach $65. (BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026 • Walmart.com)

✈️ Travel Savings

Walmart+ Travel (powered by Expedia) earns up to 5% back in Walmart Cash on flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacation packages. Walmart Cash can be redeemed on future Walmart purchases. For seniors who travel to see family or take annual vacations, this can produce $50–$200 in Walmart Cash depending on travel volume. (Billboard / Walmart.com/plus)
💡 At-Home Returns — No Repacking, No Driving, No Printing Walmart+ members can schedule returns from their front door. A Walmart driver picks up eligible items — no box repacking, no shipping label printing, and no trip to the store required. For seniors who struggle with boxing items, driving to stores, or navigating return counters, this is a genuine quality-of-life benefit. (Restrictions apply; limited to eligible purchases and select locations. Walmart.com)

Pricing — Every Option Clearly Explained

💡 Good News: No Hidden Fees — Just One Straightforward Membership Price Unlike some gym memberships or subscription services, Walmart+ has no initiation fee, no annual maintenance fee on top of the membership, and no fee increases partway through your plan. What you sign up for is what you pay. The only extra costs are optional: the InHome delivery upgrade ($40/year or $7/month add-on) for deliveries placed inside your home or garage, and tipping your delivery driver (optional but appreciated).
ANNUAL PLAN $98/year Best value if you shop at Walmart regularly. Breaks down to about $8.17/month. Billed once per year. Auto-renews unless canceled. If you cancel within 30 days and haven’t used any benefits, you can request a full refund through customer service.
MONTHLY PLAN $12.95/mo Best for flexibility or trying the service. About $155.40/year if held 12 months — $57 more expensive than the annual plan. A good option if you’re unsure; you can switch to annual at any time. Starts after the free 30-day trial.
WALMART+ ASSIST (HALF PRICE) $49/year 50% off for qualifying government assistance recipients: SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, LIHEAP, VA Pension Benefits, and others. All the same benefits as the full membership. Verified through SheerID (third-party). Requires annual re-verification. No credit check. Monthly option is $6.47/mo.
AARP MEMBER DISCOUNT ~$58/year AARP members save $40 off the standard $98 annual fee. No income verification needed — just your AARP membership number. AARP membership costs $15/year. Important: If you qualify for Assist at $49, that’s always the better deal. You cannot stack both discounts. (BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026)
💡 Free 30-Day Trial for All New Members Every new Walmart+ member gets a full 30 days free. All benefits are active immediately. Your card is charged only after the trial ends. Important: The trial automatically converts to a paid subscription — set a calendar reminder before the 30-day mark if you want to evaluate before being billed. You can cancel during the trial at any time with no charge. (Walmart.com/plus, official)

💡 Which Plan Is Right for You? A Quick Decision Guide

  • You receive SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, LIHEAP, VA Pension, or similar government benefits: Apply for Walmart+ Assist — $49/year or $6.47/month. This is always the lowest price available.
  • You have an AARP membership (and don’t qualify for Assist): Use the AARP discount — $58/year. No income check needed.
  • You shop at Walmart at least twice a month for groceries: Annual plan at $98/year almost certainly pays for itself through delivery savings alone ($7.95–$9.95 per avoided delivery fee).
  • You rarely shop at Walmart or prefer other stores: The free 30-day trial is your best starting point. Use it to test the delivery service before committing.
  • You only want delivery, not all the extras: Even without Walmart+, Walmart offers free curbside pickup for all customers at no cost. Membership is only needed for home delivery.

How Seniors Can Stack Multiple Benefits — Maximum Savings Guide

✨ The Most Powerful Combination: Walmart+ Assist + SNAP Online + Medicare OTC

According to BudgetSeniors.com (March 2026), a senior who is dual-eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare Advantage could theoretically combine four separate savings mechanisms on a single Walmart shopping trip: a Walmart+ Assist membership for free delivery ($49/year), SNAP/EBT benefits for grocery payment (Walmart is the first retailer to accept SNAP online in all 50 states), a Medicare Advantage OTC benefits card for eligible health items, and Walmart’s $4 generic prescription program. The entire transaction can happen without leaving home — a genuine game-changer for seniors with mobility limitations.

Your SituationBest PlanAnnual CostNotes
Receiving SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, LIHEAP, or VA Pension Walmart+ Assist $49/yr or $6.47/mo Verify at Walmart.com/plus/assist. No credit check. SheerID verifies eligibility instantly in most cases.
AARP member (no government assistance) AARP Discount Plan ~$58/yr $40 off $98 standard rate. Must have active AARP membership at renewal time ($15/year). Cannot stack with Assist.
Medicare Advantage plan member Standard + OTC Card $98/yr (or $49 if Assist eligible) As of May 2025, Walmart allows select customers to use Medicare Advantage OTC benefits while shopping online. About ⅔ of MA members never use OTC benefits — call your plan to ask. (Walmart Corp. press release, May 28, 2025)
Not on any assistance; not an AARP member Annual Plan $98/yr Start with the free 30-day trial. Worth it if you order groceries delivered 2+ times per month (delivery fees alone at $7.95–$9.95 each exceed membership cost with ~10 orders).
You only want to try it Free Trial $0 (30 days) All benefits active immediately. Cancel before Day 30 to avoid any charge. Set a phone or calendar reminder.

📈 Estimated Annual Savings for a Typical Senior Member

Grocery delivery (2x/month × $8.95 fee saved)$215/year
Free shipping on small online orders (1–2x/month)~$85/year
Fuel savings (500 gal/yr × $0.10)$50/year
Paramount+ or Peacock streaming (included free)$72–$96/year
Pharmacy delivery (free vs. $9.95/order, 1x/mo)$119/year
Burger King savings + Whoppers (est.)~$64/year
Total estimated annual value$605–$649/year

vs. Walmart+ Assist cost: $49/yr • vs. Standard cost: $98/yr • Individual savings will vary. Based on estimates from BudgetSeniors.com (Mar 2026), Savings.com (Dec 2025), and official Walmart pricing. You may use some benefits more and others less.

💡 Check SNAP Eligibility Before You Assume You Don’t Qualify It’s estimated that roughly 5 million older adults are eligible for SNAP but not currently enrolled. In 2026, SNAP income limits for a senior living alone are approximately $1,696/month gross income. Qualifying for SNAP unlocks Walmart+ Assist ($49/year instead of $98), plus the ability to use your EBT card for online Walmart grocery orders. To check eligibility: call 1-800-221-5689 (USDA SNAP hotline) or visit benefits.gov. (BudgetSeniors.com, Mar 2026 • USDA SNAP guidelines, 2026)

InHome Delivery — The Upgrade Worth Considering for Mobility Challenges

💡 InHome Delivers Directly Into Your Kitchen, Garage, or Fridge — Not Just Your Doorstep The InHome Plus Up is an optional add-on to Walmart+ that takes delivery a significant step further. Instead of leaving groceries at your front door, a local Walmart associate (who you’ll often see week to week, according to Walmart’s website) uses a secure entry device or keypad to deliver your order inside your home — kitchen, refrigerator, garage, or wherever you choose. All InHome deliveries are video-recorded for security. Tips are included in the service fee. (Walmart.com/plus/inhome)
FeatureStandard DeliveryInHome Delivery Upgrade
Additional cost Included with Walmart+ +$40/year or +$7/month add-on
Delivery location Front door / doorstep Inside home, kitchen, fridge, or garage
Tipping Optional but appreciated Tip included in InHome fee — no additional tipping needed
Security Standard Video-recorded delivery for your peace of mind
Best for seniors who… Can reach front door Have difficulty carrying bags, no longer answer the door easily, or want groceries put away
Delivery windows Varies by location 9 a.m.–1 p.m. or 2 p.m.–6 p.m.
ⓘ How to Add InHome to Your Existing Membership Sign in to your Walmart account at Walmart.com. Go to Account → Walmart+ → Manage Membership → Manage by Plus Ups. Select InHome. You can cancel the InHome add-on at any time without canceling your main Walmart+ membership. To cancel InHome only: Account → Walmart+ → Manage Membership → Cancel InHome. Your base membership stays active. (Walmart.com/help/article/inhome-plus-up)
📝

How to Join Walmart+ — Step by Step

💡 Start with the Free 30-Day Trial — No Cost to Try Everything First Every new Walmart+ member gets 30 days completely free. You must provide payment information to start the trial, but you will not be charged until after Day 30. Use this time to place at least two grocery delivery orders — that alone will show you whether the service works for your address, your store, and your shopping schedule.
  • Check if you qualify for Walmart+ Assist first (before paying full price). If you receive SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, LIHEAP, Veterans Pension Benefits, Federal Public Housing Assistance, or other qualifying government assistance, visit Walmart.com/plus/assist before signing up for a standard membership. The discounted price is $49/year or $6.47/month — exactly half the standard rate. Verification is instant for most people and has no credit check. If you’re on the edge, it takes 5 minutes to find out.
  • Check your AARP discount if you don’t qualify for Assist. AARP membership costs $15/year and gives you $40 off Walmart+, bringing the annual membership to about $58. If you’re not already an AARP member and don’t qualify for Assist, the math works: $15 (AARP) + $58 (discounted Walmart+) = $73 total, still $25 less than the standard $98. AARP also provides dozens of other discounts. (You cannot combine AARP and Assist; pick the lower-priced option, which is always Assist if you qualify.)
  • Go to Walmart.com/plus and start the free 30-day trial. Click “Start free 30-day trial.” Choose annual ($98/year) or monthly ($12.95/month). Enter your Walmart account email and password — or create a free Walmart account if you don’t have one. Add a payment method (credit or debit card). Membership benefits activate immediately. You can also call Walmart customer service at 1-800-924-9206 (available 8 a.m.–10 p.m., 7 days a week) if you prefer to sign up by phone.
  • Place your first delivery order right away to test the service. Open the Walmart app or go to Walmart.com. Add items to your cart (at least $35 for free delivery). At checkout, select “Delivery” and choose a time window. Confirm that your address is in the delivery zone for your store. If you encounter any problems — wrong items, missing items, late delivery — customer service is accessible through the app, by phone, or through the delivery photo at your door. First-order issues are usually resolved quickly with a refund or replacement.
  • Set up automatic prescription refills and link any Medicare OTC card. In the Walmart app, go to Pharmacy → Manage My Prescriptions to set up automatic refills with free home delivery. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan with an OTC benefits card, as of May 2025 Walmart allows you to identify OTC-eligible items and track your spending directly in the app and at Walmart.com. Call your Medicare plan’s member services number and ask: “Does my plan include OTC benefits, and are they usable at Walmart?” (Walmart Corp. press release, May 28, 2025)

How to Cancel Walmart+ — Simple Process, No Controversy

✓ Good News: Walmart+ Has No Known Cancellation Issues

Unlike some gym memberships (such as the LA Fitness FTC lawsuit in August 2025), Walmart+ cancellation is genuinely straightforward. You can cancel at any time through the app, through the website, or by phone. Your benefits remain active until the end of your current paid billing cycle — you don’t lose access immediately. No certified mail, no in-person visits, no manager appointments required.

One important note: Annual members who cancel within the first 30 days of a new plan year and have not used any benefits can request a full refund. After that, Walmart does not issue partial refunds for mid-cycle cancellations, but you keep your access until the billing period ends. (Accio.com / Oreate AI, Jan 2026 • Walmart.com/help/article/manage-walmart-membership)

  • Cancel through the Walmart app (fastest method). Open the Walmart app. Tap your profile icon in the top right. Select “Account,” then “Walmart+.” Scroll down to “Manage Membership.” Tap “Cancel Membership.” Walmart may ask why you’re canceling — select a reason or tap “Skip.” Confirm cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email within minutes. Save this email or take a screenshot as your proof. (Walmart.com/help, 9meters.com, verified 2026)
  • Cancel on the Walmart website (computer method). Go to Walmart.com. Sign in to your account. Click your name or profile icon in the top right. Select “Account.” Then select “Walmart+.” Choose “Manage Membership.” Select “Cancel Membership.” Follow the on-screen confirmation steps. Save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation page. The process is the same steps whether you’re on a monthly or annual plan.
  • Cancel by phone if you prefer to speak to a person. Call Walmart customer service at 1-800-924-9206 (available 8 a.m.–10 p.m. local time, 7 days a week). Tell the representative you’d like to cancel your Walmart+ membership. Ask them to confirm the cancellation date and when billing will stop. Ask for a confirmation email or reference number. Write it down. (BudgetSeniors.com “How to Sign Up for Walmart+ for Seniors,” Feb 2026)
  • Know what happens after you cancel. Your Walmart+ benefits stay active until the final day of your current paid billing cycle — even if you cancel today. On expiration: the fuel discount QR code in the app stops working, delivery orders revert to paid delivery fees, free shipping reverts to the $35 minimum, and your Paramount+ or Peacock subscription returns to a paid tier. You can reactivate at any time without paying an initiation fee. (Accio.com step-by-step guide, 2026)
  • Know how to pause instead of canceling, if needed. You can pause your Walmart+ membership for one month at a time, up to three times per year. No charges while paused; no benefits while paused either. To pause: Account → Walmart+ → Manage Membership → Manage by Walmart+ Plan → Pause. This is a good option if you’re traveling for a month, in the hospital, or temporarily tightening your budget and plan to resume. You can unpause at any time before the paused month ends. (Walmart.com/help/article/manage-walmart-membership, verified)
💡 Canceling InHome Separately from the Base Membership The InHome delivery add-on is a separate service. Canceling your main Walmart+ membership automatically cancels InHome. But if you want to cancel InHome and keep the base Walmart+ membership, go to: Account → Walmart+ → Manage Membership → Cancel InHome. Your main membership stays active. You can reactivate InHome at any time. (Walmart.com/help/article/inhome-plus-up, official)

Walmart+ vs. Amazon Prime — Senior-Focused Comparison

FeatureWalmart+Amazon Prime
Annual cost (standard) $98/year ($8.17/mo) $139/year ($14.99/mo)
Low-income discount Walmart+ Assist: $49/year (SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, etc.) Amazon Prime Access: $6.99/month (EBT/Medicaid)
Free grocery delivery Yes — from your local Walmart ($35 min) Yes — from Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh ($35–$150 min; varies by area)
Free shipping (no minimum) Yes — from Walmart.com Yes — from Amazon.com (some exclusions)
Pharmacy / prescriptions Free pharmacy delivery • $4 generics program Amazon Pharmacy: RxPass $5/mo for 50+ generics (Prime members)
Fuel savings 10¢/gallon at 13,000+ stations No fuel discount
Video streaming Paramount+ Essential or Peacock (choice of one) Prime Video included (extensive original and licensed content)
Cancellation Straightforward — app, website, or phone Straightforward — account settings online
Best for seniors who… Shop at Walmart for groceries, drive regularly, need prescription delivery Already use Amazon frequently, want more streaming, need fast shipping on diverse products
💡 Bottom Line for Seniors Walmart+ wins for seniors who already shop at Walmart for groceries, fill prescriptions at Walmart Pharmacy, or drive regularly and can use the gas discount. Amazon Prime wins for seniors who order a very wide variety of products online and want Prime Video’s streaming library. The $41/year price difference also matters on a fixed income. If you qualify for Walmart+ Assist at $49/year, the value comparison with Amazon Prime ($139/year) becomes overwhelming in Walmart+’s favor.

Common Questions — Answered Directly

No — Walmart does not offer any age-based senior discount, in stores or on Walmart+. As of 2026, there are no special senior shopping hours, no senior-specific membership tier, and no automatic discount at checkout for older adults. (TheSeniorList.com, Jan 2026 • BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026)

What Walmart does offer that helps many seniors:

  • Walmart+ Assist ($49/year): For SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, VA Pension, LIHEAP, and other qualifying program recipients. Based on benefit enrollment, not age.
  • AARP discount (~$58/year): $40 off standard membership for AARP members. No income check needed.
  • $4 prescription program: No membership required. Many common generic medications cost $4 for 30 days or $10 for 90 days at Walmart Pharmacy.
  • Free curbside pickup: Available to all Walmart customers at no charge. No membership needed.

More programs qualify than most people realize. Full qualifying list per Walmart.com/plus/assist and Retail Dive (2023, still current):

  • SNAP (food stamps / EBT)
  • Medicaid
  • WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)
  • SSI (Supplemental Security Income)
  • TANF / TTANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)
  • LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program)
  • NSLP (National School Lunch Program)
  • Veterans Pension Benefits
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance
  • Federal Pell Grants
  • Tribal assistance programs

Veterans receiving pension benefits often don’t realize this qualifies them. Eligibility is verified through SheerID (third-party). No credit check. No impact on existing benefit amounts. The Assist plan requires re-verification annually. (BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026 • Walmart.com/plus/assist)

Yes — the $35 minimum applies to grocery delivery from your local Walmart store, and it is enforced. This is a real threshold you’ll need to meet for each delivery order to avoid a delivery fee. Tips for reaching $35 easily:

  • Order two weeks’ worth of groceries at once rather than daily small orders
  • Add non-perishables like canned goods, paper towels, cleaning supplies — things you always need anyway
  • Add a prescription pickup to your grocery order (prescriptions count toward the minimum)
  • Order household essentials in standard package sizes rather than travel/trial sizes

Note: The $35 minimum applies to store delivery (groceries). Free shipping on items ordered from Walmart.com has no order minimum at all with a Walmart+ membership. (Walmart.com/plus, official)

You can use SNAP/EBT to pay for the groceries in your order, but not for the membership fee itself. Walmart is the first retailer to accept SNAP/EBT benefits for online purchases in all 50 states. Here’s how it works:

  • Add your EBT card to your Walmart account as a payment method
  • At checkout, select EBT as payment for eligible SNAP items (food and certain non-alcoholic beverages)
  • Any non-SNAP-eligible items in the same order can be paid with a credit or debit card
  • The Walmart+ delivery fee waiver applies whether you pay with EBT or a card
  • You cannot pay your Walmart+ membership fee ($49, $98, etc.) with SNAP benefits — only regular groceries in the cart

This means a senior on SNAP with a Walmart+ Assist membership can get free delivery of groceries, pay for eligible food with EBT, and pay for the membership itself at the discounted $49/year rate with a regular payment method. (BudgetSeniors.com, Mar 2026 • USDA SNAP online purchasing)

Walmart+ is designed for one account, but household members benefit from deliveries and orders placed under that account. There’s no official “family plan” with separate logins, but the practical reality is:

  • Your spouse, family member, or caregiver can place orders on your Walmart.com account and deliveries will go to your address
  • If they have their own phone with the Walmart app signed into your account, they can also use Scan & Go in-store on your membership
  • The fuel discount requires scanning a QR code from the app — which is tied to your account login

For seniors who have a family member or caregiver helping them shop and order, one membership covering the household makes practical and financial sense. (UncleKiwi.com, Feb 2026)

No — Walmart’s $4 generic prescription program is available to everyone, no membership required. You don’t need a Walmart+ account, no insurance, and no enrollment form. Just bring your prescription to any Walmart Pharmacy and ask for the $4 generic price list.

  • $4 for a 30-day supply of hundreds of common generic medications
  • $10 for a 90-day supply (some medications)
  • Covers many commonly used medications for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid, and more
  • A 2024 analysis found 21% of Medicare plans cost more per prescription than Walmart’s $4 price for the same generic (SeniorSite.org, Sep 2025)
  • Walmart+ members add free home delivery on top of this already-low price

Ask your pharmacist for the current list of $4 medications. Coverage changes periodically. (Walmart Pharmacy, SeniorSite.org)

You don’t need a smartphone — everything can be done on a computer or by phone.

  • Computer / desktop: Go to Walmart.com in any web browser. All account management, grocery ordering, and cancellation work the same way as on a phone.
  • Phone call: Call 1-800-924-9206 (8 a.m.–10 p.m., 7 days/week). A representative can sign you up, help place orders, troubleshoot deliveries, or cancel your membership entirely.
  • In-store: You can also sign up for Walmart+ at the customer service desk at any Walmart store if you prefer in-person help.
  • Ask a family member or caregiver: The initial setup — creating a Walmart account, entering your address and payment method — takes about 10 minutes. Once set up, reordering regular groceries takes just a few taps and can be done by anyone helping you.

BudgetSeniors.com notes that once your delivery address and usual items are saved, the “Buy Again” feature makes reordering your regular groceries extremely fast, even for those less comfortable with technology. (BudgetSeniors.com, Feb 2026)
