US retail subscription competition
Overview
Walmart has introduced a new membership bundle priced at $120 annually, combining Walmart+ with Sam’s Club Plus. This strategic move is intended to compete with Amazon Prime, which carries a $139 annual fee.
The Walmart bundle includes access to Sam’s Club warehouses, member-only pricing, and fuel savings of up to $0.10 per gallon at over 17,000 participating stations. Subscribers can also choose between Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential as an ad-supported streaming service, with the ability to switch every 90 days. Delivery services are included, subject to minimum order requirements of $35 for Walmart and $50 for Sam’s Club.
This launch occurs ahead of the holiday shopping season as retailers compete for customer loyalty through subscription models. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime continues to offer various discounted tiers, including specialized pricing for students, young adults, and individuals qualifying for government assistance programs.
