Walmart Tries Again to Find Its Answer to Amazon Prime

Walmart Inc. is trying again to build a membership program that can rival Amazon Prime, the Amazon.com Inc. service with more than 150 million members.

On Sept. 15, the retail giant will launch Walmart+, a $98-a-year membership that includes free grocery delivery, a discount on gas from Walmart parking lots and the ability to check out via a mobile phone in stores. Members can get free home delivery for some of the roughly 130,000 items, including fresh food, toilet paper or electronics, sold in the average Walmart store. Delivery from Walmart stores for nonmembers typically costs around $9 per order.

The new program doesn’t include free delivery from Walmart.com, which sells millions of items. Walmart offers free shipping on most web orders above $35. Walmart hopes the new program will appeal to busy shoppers and will add more perks in coming months, said Janey Whiteside, Walmart’s chief customer officer. In tests, Walmart shoppers with a membership spend more and shop more often with the retailer, she said.

Have you seen who shops at Walmart? No way they're shelling out $100 annually.

It feels like another try and replicating a competitor. Much like Sams Club vs Costco. How’d that work out....

I think they’re a bit behind.

Their program isn't even worth 98¢ a year compared to what AmazonPrime offers ..

Damn... Another streaming service is going to come next. I already got three memberships for movies. I can't do another one. 🤦🏽‍♂️

That is a good bargain

Amazon /Walmart two of the Richest companies why down you pass the riches down to your employees without raising prices , Walmart family one of he richest , Jeff Bezo worth 200 billion , pass the the riches down to your employees stop being a tight wad Retweet please

Ew.

At this point, Amazon’s market penetration is impenetrable. I don’t see Bezos losing any sleep over Walmart’s too-late efforts.

Amazon is leagues ahead. I don’t see it working lol
