Description:
Walmart Plus is becoming more like Amazon Prime, as subscriptions will now include Paramount Plus for free.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Walmart and Paramount are partnering up to bring you a subscription service that could potentially be a rival to Amazon Prime.

Soon Walmart Plus subscribers will get a Paramount Plus Essential
subscription at no additional cost. Whats more, Walmart Plus currently costs $98 per year, and according to the press release the price wont change after Paramount Plus is added to the package.

The move will likely help Walmart to position Walmart Plus worthwhile alternative to Amazon Prime , which entices subscribers with not only its
free Prime delivery perk but Prime Videos suite of shows and films, among other benefits. Halo is just one of the shows you can enjoy on Paramount Plus (Image credit: Paramount Plus)

Paramount Pluss Essential tier usually costs $49.99 per year (following a one-week trial), and includes access to shows like the Halo TV series , Star Trek: Picard and iCarly, NFL matches via CBS live, live soccer matches including the Champions League, and access to CBSNs 24/7 news coverage. However, it does come with ads, and you cant download shows to watch them offline later for those benefits youll need to upgrade to Paramount Plus Premium.

Beyond access to Paramount Pluss streaming content, Walmart Plus gives subscribers a few other benefits. You can get free next-day or two-day delivery on orders from Walmart.com with no minimum spend caps, plus you can get free grocery deliveries if you spend $35 or more though there may be a few restrictions based on where you live. Youll also get 10c off every gallon of fuel you buy from over 14,000 gas stations across the US.

While not as feature-packed as Amazon Prime which doesnt offer discounts on fuel, but does give you a year of GrubHub Plus , access to Amazon Music , Prime Reading, and unlimited photo storage through Amazon Photos Walmart
Plus is cheaper. A year of Amazon Prime will set you back an extra $41,
coming in at $139 compared to Walmart Pluss $98.

Hopefully, Walmart will find other ways to make its subscription service even more appealing for subscribers and as long as the price doesnt go up we wont be complaining about more benefits any time soon.
