Walmart+ Membership Benefits
Enjoy exclusive perks including early sale access, unlimited free shipping, Paramount+ streaming, and more.
$98.00 50% off
$49.00 at Walmart
Planning to get the Nintendo Switch 2 this year? This limited-time Walmart+ deal could be your golden ticket. For July 4th weekend, Walmart is offering 50% off annual memberships, dropping the price to just $49—a smart investment for savvy shoppers.
The Power of Early Access
Walmart's summer sale event "Walmart Deals" runs July 8-13, but members get a crucial 4-hour head start on July 7 at 7 PM ET. This early window proved invaluable during previous console restocks, giving members first dibs on limited inventory before the general public.
Beyond just Switch 2 preorders, this membership unlocks significant advantages across Walmart's entire ecosystem—from gaming hardware drops to Pokémon TCG collections and beyond. With high-demand items often selling out within minutes, that early access could mean the difference between securing your purchase or facing disappointment.
Year-Round Shopping Perks
- Free unlimited shipping (normally $35 minimum)
- Free home pickup for returns
- 10¢/gallon fuel discounts
- Mobile Scan & Go checkout
- Free basic tire services
Streaming Bonus Included
Your membership includes a Paramount+ Essential subscription ($60 value) featuring shows like:
- New Dexter revival series (premieres July 11)
- Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
- Upcoming movies like Sonic 3
Summer Sale Showdown
While Amazon's Prime Day remains the benchmark for volume, Walmart often beats them on key categories—especially gaming hardware and home electronics. Expect major discounts on Vizio TVs, Apple products, and of course, Nintendo hardware during this year's event.
Target's competing Circle Week will offer similar deals, but Walmart+ members gain that critical early access advantage when stock is limited. If you're serious about scoring a Switch 2 or other high-demand items this holiday season, this half-price membership could easily pay for itself with one successful purchase.
