Walmart Partners with Ibotta to Offer Rewards for Walmart+ Members
Walmart has added a new feature to its membership program, Walmart+. The membership costs $12.95 a month or $98 a year, and you can get it for free if you have an Amex Platinum Card. Just recently, free streaming was added as a perk, and this week Walmart introduced yet another improvement, Walmart Rewards.
Walmart Rewards is a new and easy way for Walmart+ members to earn additional savings toward future Walmart purchases. Let’s say after a few shopping trips or online orders, a member has accumulated $10 in Walmart Rewards. When they apply those savings at checkout, what was previously a $25 basket now only costs $15.
As members search for products on Walmart.com or the Walmart app, they’ll see an option to add rewards starting with hundreds of bestselling items, from groceries to household goods to pet care and beyond. Members can bank their digital rewards in the Walmart wallet in the app and online and use them to save on future purchases in stores and online.
These new item-specific rewards are powered by the Ibotta and are available exclusively for Walmart+ members. You can find Walmart Rewards details in your app by going to Account > My Items > Rewards Center.
Here are a few more details about Walmart Rewards:
- It’s free and easy to use. You don’t need to download a separate app or even sign up. Members just sign into their Walmart+ account on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app, clip eligible rewards, purchase the items and watch the earnings rack up.
- It works any way members choose to shop. Whether they do most of their shopping in-store or online, members can take advantage of digital offers to earn Walmart Rewards.
- Members can redeem the balance at checkout. If shopping in-store, Walmart members can scan the Walmart Pay QR code and tap “Use Walmart Rewards” to deduct the balance from their bill. If shopping online, they can simply do this when they check out.
- Walmart Rewards is not static. This opens the door to endless earning possibilities for members in the future. We’ll continue to build new ways to reward member loyalty within the Walmart Rewards program.
