Walmart is offering a special 50% off deal on its annual Walmart Plus plans. The membership, which unlocks perks and savings across various categories, comes just in time for early access to Walmart’s Black Friday deals.
Walmart Plus, Walmart’s answer to Amazon Prime, typically costs $12.95 a month or $98 a year, but the current limited-time deal knocks 50% off an annual subscription. That means subscriptions are just $49 for the year. The deal, which excludes current annual subscribers, ends on December 2, 2025.
Walmart Plus’ key features are free next-day and two-day shipping, free delivery on things like grocery orders over $35, free pharmacy delivery, free online pet care with Pawp, gas savings at participating stations, 25% off your digital Burger King order every day (plus a free Whopper with purchase every three months), and more. The newest perk is the upgraded streaming option, which previously just gave subscribers Paramount Plus. Now, they have the option to choose between Paramount Plus Essential or Peacock Premium, and they can switch between the two every 90 days.
Signing up will also guarantee you early access to Walmart’s Black Friday sales. Walmart’s upcoming Black Friday deals event kicks off online at midnight ET on November 25, 2025, but paid Walmart Plus subscribers can access the deals online starting November 24 at 7 p.m. ET, granting them five hours of early access. Subscribers will also get early access to Cyber Monday deals. Keep reading to learn more about Walmart Plus and Walmart’s early Black Friday deals.
FAQ
Can I get a free trial of Walmart Plus?
Walmart offers new customers a 30-day free trial of Walmart Plus. However, if you opt for the annual deal, you forgo the free trial option, and your credit or debit card will be charged immediately. It’s important to keep in mind that early access to Black Friday deals is available to paid members only.
Should I choose the Paramount Plus or Peacock option?
Deciding between Paramount Plus or Peacock as your complimentary streaming selection truly depends on your personal taste. You can learn more about the services in our Paramount Plus and Peacock guides. Paramount Plus is the on-demand home of CBS originals, including Survivor, Tracker, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. Peacock is NBCUniversal’s streaming app, meaning that the service carries on-demand episodes from Law & Order, Chicago PD, and Saturday Night Live. Peacock is also the streaming home for most Bravo shows. Both services also offer popular films and original TV shows.
Plus, you can always give one service a try, binge everything on the app, and then switch to the other service after 90 days. Just keep in mind that Walmart Plus subscriptions offer the ad-supported base tier of each service: Paramount Plus Essential (regularly $8 a month or $60 a year) and Peacock Premium (regularly $11 a month or $110 a year). With the exception of select sporting events, these tiers don’t include network live streams.
