Walmart announced Tuesday it is rolling out a new membership bundle that gives shoppers access to both Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus for $120 a year, nearly $100 less than purchasing the two memberships separately.
The bundle works out to the equivalent of $10 per month, though Walmart said it will only be available as an annual membership and will not include a monthly option or free trial.
The launch comes after Walmart reported continued growth across its membership and e-commerce businesses in its most recent quarterly results in August.

During the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call on Aug. 20, Walmart CEO John Furner said membership fee revenue increased 17% to an all-time high.
“Marketplace, fulfillment services, membership, advertising and other commerce solutions are strengthening our business, and they are improving the economics of the company,” he said at the time.

Furner also said Walmart+ membership grew by double digits during the quarter, while Sam’s Club membership posted growth in the U.S., China and Mexico.
Walmart+ currently costs $98 for the standard annual plan, while Sam’s Club Plus costs $120 a year.
The new bundle rivals Amazon Prime, which costs $139 annually.
