I've been shopping both Walmart and Amazon for years so I was very interested to see the Walmart Membership Benefits vs the benefits of amazon prime. When I saw the news I immediately began to think Walmart+ vs Amazon Prime, i needed to know if the Walmart membership program would even be worth it. I thought this Walmart Plus vs Amazon video would be interesting to everyone so I hope you like it.
In this video The Deal Guy is showing you the Walmart plus membership and seeing how it compares with the prime membership. Is Walmart+ worth it? or is Amazon Prime worth it more? This amazon vs walmart video should help you decide based on what features appeal to you more. I think there are some features of the Prime membership it worth while for some and features of the Walmart plus membership that makes it worth while for others.
After watching this Walmart+ Review or Walmart Plus whatever you're searching i think you'll be able to make the decision of Walmart membership vs Prime membership. Let me know in the comments what you think Walmart vs Amazon Prime or Walmart Plus vs Amazon Prime, which is worth it more to you!

Interesting, thank you so much for giving unbiased and thorough information. You are seriously the only consumer guide I trust
I think I'll stick with Amazon Prime.
and plus since i have medicare i only pay 5.99 for prime
You remind me of David Horowitz from Fight Back...
Loved that show
Whatever one people choose, I'm just glad to see competition. It's always a good thing for the consumer.
I agree!
Walmart said it's not an Amazon prime competitor.
@@joeybaseball7352 Not really. WalMart said that the WalMart + PROGRAM is not in competition with the Amazon Prime program. But WalMart and Amazon have been "competitors" for years. Retail entity vs retail entity.
@@BigDoc1 true. But I honestly found nothing appealing about the Walmart+ program. They really need to step their game up, or charge a lot less (like 50% less or more) for their services
Absolutely!! 👌
I feel like Walmart + is a competitor to Instacart as a opposed to Amazon Prime
Walmart uses instacart for the same day deliveries
I avoid Walmart when I can.
I’ll stick with Amazon Prime
Sam's club scan and go is probably the most useful tool I've ever used in shopping at a physical store. I have been using it for years and especially came in handy during the beginning of the pandemic when lines were ridiculously long. I'm glad to say I haven't had to wait in a register line for quite a while.
Walmart has massive potential over the next decade. Especially with some of the new partnerships Walmart has been making. Amazon is trying to buy up mall space for fulfillment centers and making delivery better, Walmart already has the physical stores. The new drone program Walmart is coming out with will really make it a fierce competition.
I don’t want a shopping “experience.” I want to buy stuff and check out in a timely manner.
Walmart needs no more of my money, especially from a membership fee! I find Amazon's 2 day shipping lacking since the whole Covid-19 mess began, but the other benefits, like streaming, keep me enrolled. Great video!
My exact sentiments. Two day delivery is gone hey wire, but with the movie streaming I still think it’s worth it.
Um, you guys know that, like, all shipping is going crazy right? Like, the whole world is having issues at the moment? I think people should be a little more understanding this year, LOL. Also, where else are you going to get free 2-day shipping if the shipping times you're receiving now aren't good enough for you? No where, that's where. No one else has a comparable stock of items with 2-day shipping that's available anywhere and for such a low fee as well as having other free perks like TV/movies/videos....
@@amberdream1308 I agree, I’m just glad I’m still able to get it
@@amberdream1308 I said it was lacking. I didn't say I didn't understand it. THEY (Amazon) are the ones still advertising the unattainable deliver times. They also aren't offering a lower fee due to not being able to deliver what they promised.
They really should credit their customers in some way.
Not impressed with Walmart. I’ll stick to amazon prime.
I vote with my dollars and haven’t shopped Walmart in years. I love how they only open two checkouts creating long lines then make you pay a membership to avoid the line they created 🙄
😅🤣🤣
I always wonder why they have 20-30 checkout Lanes but they only ever open two or three. I went last year during the holidays,the lines were insane we're talking 20 people in each line but they only had three lanes open. that was the last time I actually went into Walmart, all occasion I will have something shipped to store but that's happened like three times.
🤣🤣🤣 OMG yes
Karla J, They are going to buy membership to avoid those long lines. Vs. being fed up and shopping somewhere else where the store appreciates their customers
I aree and now they are ensuring all older walmart stores are being remodeled and mostly self serve checkouts laying off many cashiers....
I am disabled, all my shopping is done online, especially groceries. I love my Prime, hard to find items, prime video has excellent programming, books, ebooks, so many things that make me happy, the ability to “oh, my favorite author’s new book comes out today, but I can’t drive to a bookstore to buy it.” I can go to Amazon Prime, and start reading in 2 days. Walmart, I go to the grocery section, pick out what I want, tell them if I want them substitute if my exact product isn’t available. It used to be $30, now it’s $35 minimum per order. Tell them when my aide can be there to pick up for me. I was using this service before the lockdown. This saves her time, and headaches. I’ll keep things the way they are, but thanks for explaining the differences. Informative, I am now a subscriber. Isn’t this where streamers and balloons drop from the ceiling, thanking me? None here, 😔 oh well
Imagine being disabled lol
I make some of my purchases from Walmart but not enough to become a plus member. I will stick with Amazon.
@@edrakes2074 *Update* I'm currently doing the Walmart+ trial membership. I must say I am enjoying the shipping and grocery delivery. I think imma keep it.
B@@edrakes2074
I've been using the scan and go at Sam's Club for the past 3 years. It's the best thing IMO. In and out of Sam's is amazing. They just scan the bar code when leaving the store.
I’m curious, how is the second security line at Walmart going to handle the scan and go?!? Uniformed guard checks every receipt at the Walmart’s in my area
@@NoName83201 I don't have a Sam's nearby, so I don't shop there, but when I use a Walmart gift card, and thus the receipt is on my phone, I just hold up my phone, and they scan it. Much faster than having them look at a receipt. I would love scan and go, if it's available at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, since I have one close to home.
Are those things that you purchased then delivered to your home?
Yes Scan and go works like a champ at Sam's Club Love that aspect compared to Costco.. As far a membership comparisons go. Amazon is clearly my go to and rhey have been for the last 5 years or so with Prime so for me it is to little to late for Walmart.
Yes the fuel perk is good for Walmart, but fighting through the pre-pandemic post-apocalyptic gas line at Costco makes that membership perk just dandy....
Returns with Walmart take forever to process. Amazon credits me the minute it is scanned by the return carrier.
I've done returns with Walmart online grocery with no issues, and it was processed immediately
I had amazon send the wrong canned cat food and they literally said to keep it and refunded the money. No questions asked.
@@anib3899 Same here, the refunds are immediate, and unlike the store, the customer service has been outstanding, which is to say when I call about an online issue, they've handled things quickly and competently.
Matt, I love your channel and don't worry about your hands, that is who you are. I am glad to see choices available. Thank you for what you do, keep up the great work
Whole Foods is still kind of a speciality grocery store with strange brands and high prices, whereas Walmart is much cheaper and has legacy brands and products.
I had some bad experience with ordering the from Wal-Mart. So I'm staying with Amazon
Sam's club is the better version of Walmart with a membership fee. Sam's treats you like a person. Walmart treats you like cattle.
Same company. Different attitude.
Costco
Costco has the best deals.
Mrs. Happydog I agree but none near me, only Walmart
I ABSOLUTELY agree. I stopped shopping at Walmart about 6 years because of way they treated me.
If you have snap benefits or Medicare prime membership is $5.99 a month
Wait, what?
If your on medicare, Amazon Prime is $5.99?
Sunflower Baby yes check if it’s not Medicare it’s Medicaid one of those
@@josevazquez9724
Thanks. 😁
Not for Medicare. Only Medicaid and college students.
@@RavenVapor873
Darn. 😌 Thanks.
Love your channel. There is one major thing you forgot to mention. Before the pandemic, Amazon fulfilled it's 2-day shipping promise, since the pandemic I've had items take 3 weeks or more and yet the membership cost didn't change. I'm still not getting my packages in 2 days. I'd argue if you are choosing a membership simply for shipping, the 1 day Walmart is better than about a week Amazon.
At the beginning of the year I paid $98 for free unlimited delivery from Walmart. My Walmart is about a mile away so it's super convenient. And I also have Amazon prime because I get a discount on my prime membership. I love BOTH. And I definitely save with both.
If your Walmart is so close why don't you pick up?
@@ericad528 because we only have one car and my dad takes it to work.
I’ll stick with Prime.
As a blind shopper both of them have their advantages. Amazon's website is easier to maneuver and you can get practically anything you want there. Walmart has a great grocery delivery and that's what I mostly use them for so as long as I can afford them I will have both.
Walmart should install some electric car charging spaces; customers could shop while charging?
Agreed!
Just the scan and go makes it worth it to me. I love me some Walmart.
I really appreciate your clear concise explanations! Keep the videos coming. I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up.
During this pandemic and being in the high risk group, I’ve used grocery delivery service from both Walmart and Costco. They both have pluses and minuses. But I appreciate the services provided by both during this horrific pandemic times.
Love Scan & Go at Sam’s. Already get great gas prices at Sam’s. It will be interesting to see if they alter the Sam’s membership to drive people to WalMart Plus. I’ll stick with Prime for now.
I have both! Here's the deal, though. I get free Amazon Prime with my Metro cellphone acct. I can compare pricing and availability. Walmart + also gets me one (WOOHOO) free Express Delivery, which is within 2 hrs. They both have tracking, Amazon doesn't always provide it, I don't know why. I'm a disabled widow and live alone. Being able to count on the reliability of delivery is essential. Perhaps some of the issues I've experienced are local to me. I click on the tabs on both sites for same/next-day delivery. C/S issues have always been addressed positively. I reap the rewards of both as often as my budget allows! You're the best at this, hon, I look to no other.😊 Continued blessings.
I had the membership and cancelled it. Delivered by DoorDash and received incorrect items or damaged groceries and then asked to leave a tip. Why tip if your paying for membership. I have amazon and would stick with amazon 👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you. I rarely shop at Walmart, but I think competition is a good thing.
Walmart actually owns sams club, not the other way around
Since the name is based on Sam Walton your comment is moot! They are obviously the same family of companies.
@@facetiouslyinsolent8313 He's right, why even dispute it if you can't even do a minute of research, Mr. Debunker..
"Sam's West, Inc. (doing business as Sam's Club) is an American chain of membership-only retail warehouse clubs owned and operated by Walmart Inc."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%27s_Club
@@NeptuneSega I'm sure that's the case, but NOTHING from wikipedia should ever be cited. That data is all user driven and is often wrong or at least not 100% correct. I'm not saying this to be mean or offensive if it sounds that way. I'm just pointing it out.
@@facetiouslyinsolent8313 not a moot comment. Walmart is the original company and owns Sam's club, not the other way around.
@@whourdadie Wikipedia is almost always accurate and you can use it in the real world unless it has no citations or was edited in the last week or so. The reason they tell you not to use it in school is because then everything would be super easy.
People have to be aware that the tip is adjustable with Walmart plus. I love the convenience of free delivery when I can't go out to do food shopping. Just be careful and adjust the tip according to what you want. Otherwise, they will automatically charge you $10 separately from your bill and just send you an email saying they did that.
Thank you for your vids !
I hate going to Walmart , used to go weekly spend $300-$400 week . Got treated terribly by a new young cashier and eventually started buying groceries at Kroger everything else at Amazon 😀
Amazon Prime still gives so much more in perks that I use over Walmart Plus.
Been a Prime member for years and average 2-3 orders per month. Since COVID, I have not received any order faster than a week.
Canceled my PRIME membership a couple weeks ago, but I won’t be paying for a Walmart membership either, but tthanks for the video, it was informative.
Reason for canceling PRIME: I first joined PRIME years ago when they offered free 2-day shipping, but in the last 2 - 3 years I started noticing a couple things.
-First, the free 2-day shipping started taking longer and longer. Sometimes it would take two weeks for “in-stock” items to show up.
Second, if you are shopping, and don’t click the “PRIME” button you will notice that many, not just a few, but many items have two prices. A regular price and a PRIME price, which is always more expensive, sometimes by several dollars. So, I realized I am paying extra for that “PRIME” item, obviously for the shipping, which rarely comes in two days anymore. So, if I happen to spend the minimum, then often the non-PRIME priced item is shipped free anyhow, albeit, not in two days.
-None of the other PRIME benefits had any value to me. I tried PRIME video but found that most of the content I was interested in I could find for free on other apps, likely with commercials. Kind of like broadcast TV.
-Finally, although this is not Amazon’s fault, my state forces Amazon to tax me on this service. It is a service, not a final product.
Walmart..I go there when I need to. I don’t stand in the scan it yourself line, since I am paying full price for the item, I don’t work for them. And I would never load their app on my phone, or any stores app for that matter.
You taught me about some Prime perks I didn’t know I had! I love Prime. I also love Walmart pickup. I’ll keep my Prime membership at this point.
This was such an informative video. Thanks for sharing!!
Great video! Have you thought of doing an update to this one? Nearly two years later and things have changed quite a bit. Walmart's product pricing is sometimes cheaper than Amazon, Walmart has a $98 yearly membership fee ($57.76 cheaper per year than doing monthly), fuel perks have been extended to Exxon and Mobil. Keep putting out that great content. Congrats on reaching 2 million subs!!
Matt, I agree, why are paying to shop somewhere?!? Past that, I live near what is probably the best Wal-Mart ever built. I buy 90-95% of my groceries there. I never liked their treatment of their employees but I have to try to save money where I can and since groceries are my second highest expense after housing each month it really matters! I appreciate the in depth review. Still on the fence about joining but this knowledge is power. Keep up the good work, Matt. Thanks!
Have you compared the per item price on everyday items at Walmart vs. Amazon? My guess is that Walmart+ membership is worth the money because the items cheaper than what Amazon charges. I'd love to see your cost analysis of routine pricing on these types of weekly pantry purchases.
My biggest love for Prime is the video. The fast delivery is nice but the videos are worth it
I use the Scan and Go at Sam's Club. Love it.
I’m a former Amazon Prime member and now a convert to Walmart because of the savings on groceries and everyday items . Another reason for my switch is the savings on gas ($6/galllon in CA) and wear/tear on my car for weekly groceries. Sometimes Walmart delivers twice a week for my family of five. I do wait for Amazon purchases to gather for free shipping which isn’t that hard to do, sometimes the orders match Prime deliveries but if not it comes in a week later so you need to plan for things like paint stencils and other specialized merchandise. I do miss some of the shows on Prime but with Netflix and Disney+ these monthly expenses add up.
Love the scan and go at sams. I seem to save a lot on groceries now that I buy and pick up. I don’t really need to have them delivered. When you pick up you still need a $35 minimum (at least in my area) I get the gas discount at sams so I don’t really need that at Murphy. I think it is enticing because who doesn’t want to belong to something 😂. But I can’t justify it when Walmart doesn’t stock all of the crazy items I need at 2:00 am when I can’t sleep! 😂
I too love the scan and go at Sam’s Club. As far as gas perks, in my locale, Murphy is always 5 cents a gallon higher than Sam’s Club which is right across the street. Don’t think I’ll go the Walmart route. I have been a Prime member for years and love the perks they offer such as free videos, books, music and great customer service. I think Walmart is a little too late to the game.
I agree, do not care for the trend of having to pay for subscriptions to stores.
I shop for three households (aging parents with little to no mobility). For the most part, I use...
Walmart Pick Up - for our groceries and regularly used household items.
Sam's - in store Scan and Go for bulk item purchases.
Amazon Prime - for specialty items, gifts, etc. Prime perks are worth it for our family.
Walmart has been trying to sell us their plus service for some time, but just doesn't make sense for us when I can simply order and pick up.
The items that aren't available when I pick up, at this time, I simply protect myself with mask and sanitary kit and go in to local stores (like Aldi) to get items we need without any further hassle and to grab great deals you clued us in on.
I greatly appreciate your help in getting the best deals. We have all been struggling through the last few years. My mother is retired, father and step mother lost their business (35 year old car repair shop), and all three parents have gone through multiple major surgeries in the last year and a half.
I have also passed along tips to my step children as they struggle to provide for their families and our grandchildren.
Your tips have been so helpful to us all. Can't thank you enough. 🤗
I think Walmart should have made the membership half the price of Amazon cuz they only provide half the service
I've had a Prime membership for a few years, now, and it's mainly for the streaming. We're rural and cable choices are limited. (We actually have Prime and Netflix.) We also shop at Walmart monthly for all sorts of things, saving significantly on nearly everything we purchase there. Our Walmart, however, is just a Walmart, not a SuperWalmart. We don't have a gas pump, the grocery selection is very, VERY, limited and while we do save on the things we purchase there, we still have to go to Aldi (which for us is on the way to Walmart, conveniently, and even one of the large chain stores now and then for stuff we just can't find at either Walmart or Aldi. Having Prime means that if I need, say, a pad of specialty paper (I'm a paper crafter/book maker) and I can only find it on Amazon, I can order just that $12 package of paper and get free shipping and it's delivered in just a couple of days. It spoils me for shopping at online stores that don't offer free shipping! I hate to pay for shipping. :)
I like the Alexa reminding me to reorder items that I purchase on regular basis. It will monitor how often I buy things and suggest me to add the item on my checkout cart . If I say "yes" it will add it for me. Very convenient for ordering dog foods. I guess it is trade off between making life little easier or your habits being monitored online. Don't think we have much choice in future if not already happening. Like work place monitoring your computer usage or social media companies monitoring your activity.
Been a Prime member for years and up to this year I really haven't had any complaints, since this year almost every thing we've ordered and everything has been prime none of the orders have gotten to me in 2 days man one of the orders shipped USPS and it was lost it arrived like a week late.
It happens man, some packages get lost in shipping. That can happen with whatever Amazon or Walmart+
I’ve been with Amazon for 16 years. Every year the service has gotten worse (delivery times are worse, packages arrive damaged, the people who deliver don’t even try to get the stuff on the porch, and customer service is worse), especially in the last 2-3 years. My membership will be expiring in November and I do not plan to renew. With that being said, I don’t plan to give any of my hard earned money to Walmart either. Guess it’s time to save some money and not buy as much, so I thank them for being crappy services because in the end, it’s helping me have a better retirement. 😁
Yeah this is why I canceled my Amazon Prime, if you pay for shipping and it doesn't arrive by the ship date they still have the guaranteed delivery thing where if not delivered by the date stated you get free delivery, now with Prime you get free delivery anyways so what can you do but suck it up, with guaranteed delivery at least you would get the delivery cost back.
I was told by an Amazon CSR that you can opt out of USPS delivering your packages. I had a couple of issues also with lost packages. I hope this info helps.
@@sherylsantoro how can uou opt out?
Thank you for this. I have been an Amazon primer member for a long time and have never had a problem with them. I’m going to stay with them but I do appreciate your information.
I don’t know 🤷🏾♀️ cause I’m also a couponer and Walmart accept coupons ,
can you use coupons on Walmart online? besides their online coupons
@@TheMuirite I never tried the coupons online I'm always in store. Maybe i should try it.
YOU do you sister!
I think it's still a no-brainer, get more out of an Amazon membership with Prime Video, music, cloud storage, and not just free shipping. Although, I will say since the pandemic, very few two day shipping products and shipping has been intermittent at best, more things getting lost or delayed by weeks. Maybe shipper issues than Amazon.
After the ordeal experienced with ordering/receiving a printer from WalMart, gonna stick with Prime...
I've never loved Walmart but I have been using their curbside grocery pickup since the world turned upside down as their prices are the most reasonable in my area and people are crazy. Since there is also a $35 minimum for regular curbside pickup, their stock tends to be limited and they don't sell gas near me, it isn't practical to also pay for a membership. Amazon shipping, video, reading and photos for the win!
BTW, it cracks me up that you consciously try not to sound Canadian. I don't know why you do that but it's funny.
Amazon, all the way. They make my life so much easier. :)
I know it's cool to hate on walmart, but I actually like shopping there. It's very convenient to be able to get almost everything you need in one stop. The checkout experience can be a bit frustrating, but I think it's grossly over-exaggerated and the only time I have to wait more than 5 minutes to checkout is during peak shopping times when the store is the busiest. I love sams club. Even though I don't have a big family, and dont need everything in bulk. I still find it worthwhile to be a member because they have very good quality meat, I do buy some things in bulk that either don't expire or have a long shelf life like toilet paper, laundry detergent, cleaning products, trash bags, paper plates, etc. And their prices on tv's, furniture, and many other household items are outstanding and the quality is amazing. And sometimes they have big name brand clothing and apparel at rock bottom prices. I've heard costco is better, but unfortunately it wouldn't be worth it for me to join since the nearest one is a 45 minute drive from me. So I would rarely ever go if I joined there. I went with sams club because its like a 7 minute drive from my house. I will definitely look into this walmart membership though.
Thanks for this video. Im going to stay with Amazon Prime.I do not like Walmart.and never shop there. I get the gas perk with Costco.
Us too!
Prime video has a lot of content that Netflix doesn't offer and vice-versa. I have both and it's great knowing one will fill in what the other is missing.
Maybe 2 day shipping for USA, because now I wait almost a month for my items to arrive with “PRIME”. Is like buying things from Chaina
Thank you for sharing the minimum purchase part definitely important in my book
The minimum purchase is only effective if you are shopping at the actual Walmart site for delivery and is not included in the Walmart + package. Walmart + is only for thing available in your particular store. You actually don't have to pay for it at all, you can do all your shopping and pick up the order for free. The fee is for if you are having items delivered to your house.
Very helpful comparison -- thanks, Matt!
Glad you liked it!!
I love the Walmart Pick up! Excited by this new program
I use Walmart Plus for grocery related items and Amazon prime for everything else.
I had a good time doing Scan and Go with my phone when our store was testing it. I love looking at changes and see how they run. It's a very cool concept and the 1st time I used it, I had to check if I paid before I left cause it was so fast. Would I buy the Walmart Plus, probably not, I will just order groceries online and pick them up after one of my appointments.
I love Amazon Prime, especially Video. I've used Walmart grocery delivery service a couple of times now and it's ok. I may use it more as the weather gets bad. For groceries I mainly shop Aldi and only shop Walmart for name brand products I can't live without.
Thank The deal guy! This was some good information
Amazon has actually become my new Wal-mart. I live in kind of a rural area & it's a 25 minute drive to Wal-Mart, so more & more when I'm shopping for something & can wait a couple of days, I shop on Amazon. I used to shop at Wal-mart once a month or so because they have the best price on a few things my family needs, but I've recently been able to find all of those items on Amazon - even a generic, less expensive brand - that I can get on Subscribe & Save. I do grocery pick-up at my local Kroger & use fuel points there for a fuel discount.
Walmart doesn't have Whole Foods so Amazon wins in my opinion
No Whole Foods around us or I would use that benefit.
@@whourdadie Whole Foods is amazing
Deal guy,
So couple weeks ago Hurricane Laura came through our parish and caused so much damage. We got water damage in the house, couches ruin, ceiling fans ruin, along with other items. I’m not looking for a handout, but can help out and find furniture deals, ceiling fan deals and cam lights. Any awesome sells would be great! Thanks for everything!
I totally agree. It angers me to think I have to pay nearly$100 for the “privilege” to spend more of money at any store. At least at Target I get an instant 5% off discount.
I've been an Amazon Prime member since 2007 and Walmart is the closest grocery store to my house. I have an Amazon rewards card so I'll give you the brief: Amazon card gas purchases are 2% cash back and Amazon online purchases and Whole Foods purchases are 5% cash back. Whole Foods is pretty far from my house. Till Covid, I shopped at a locally owned grocer but I've been shopping online at Walmart and picking up my orders. They haven't made any mistakes yet, and I don't have any complaints. Also, If you pay for a year membership in advance at Amazon, it's $119. If you pay for a year membership at Walmart (not monthly), it's $98. Anyway, I have lots of comments on how Amazon Prime has changed over the years, but I'm trying to make this 500 words or less. LUL! In practice, most of my Amazon Prime orders are showing up in 1 day.
To be honest, I just cancelled my Amazon Prime membership tonight. Reason being, the only perk I used from my Amazon Prime subscription is the 2-day shipping when I couldn't find something locally. Also, during the Covid crisis, all of my Amazon Prime orders were a mess. Customer service was useless resolving issues as well. I can live without the Prime membership. As for Walmart, I have at least 6 Super Walmart's within a 2-15 mile radius from my house. My husband & I love our local Walmart's & we shop with them all the time. The order online grocery pickup or delivery is our favorite perk. It saved us a lot of hassles during Covid lockdown. Will we give Walmart Plus a go? Absolutely! I'm signing up for a month tonight. We'll see how it goes.
I used the new Scan and Go at Walmart a few days ago. NOT the same as Sam's Club. It's a wonderfully easy experience at Sam's. But when you use S&G at Walmart, you still have to go to the Self Checkout registers, wait in line for an open register, scan the QR code that is on the register screen, wait for an attendant to come over and check id (for alcohol), show them your e-receipt on your phone, they verify your cart, a little barcode appears on your phone, then you can proceed to the exit. Not as easy as the Sam's Club just S&G and show your phone on the way out.
I do enjoy the free deliver/pick-up of Walmart Grocery. I just wish I could get a quicker deliver/pick-up day/time. Amazon PrimeNow never has what I need and if they do it's way over priced.
With that being said; 90% of my online purchases are via Amazon. So it's a give and take. Will probably have to keep both memberships.
During the pandemic I have purchased from Walmart and have received things free next day and two day shipping for purchasing $35...at no membership. And my husband has used the gas discount for years by purchasing a gas card from them inside the store. So, I’ll continue my Amazon (because I use multiple services they have) and use Walmart when I need to as a I don’t see a benefit to a membership at Walmart.
Tammy D yeah i don’t get this either. You can get stuff shipped to you from WM any day with I think $35 order, right?
@@dianasimplifies Walmart + also includes fresh grocery delivery, which costs eight to ten dollars without it. Locally, I've never seen a delivery time that was on the same day I shopped, so I really don't want to pay that much to get groceries some time the next day.
Wanda Setzer ooohhh I see! Ok thank you! We live too far to get grocery delivery so everything would have to be delivered to hubby’s office anyway, thx for the help!
Also many items at walmart ship to the store for free pickup, you don't even have to spend $35. I have bought many items this way
I shop weekly at Walmart (curbside) for groceries but 2-3 times a week at Amazon for everything, including groceries. Another perk is shopping at Whole Foods via Amazon.
Prime NOW is great when you need it and Amazon Prime music is super.
I'm sold on Amazon Prime (even though two-day shipping is not always two-day shipping all the time now that we're in the pandemic.
Good morning Matt and your family also people on here have a bless day
Good morning Ms. Lita! Thank you for being here, have a fantastic day!
@@thedealguy you too ty and ur welcome
I only use Amazon when my local Walmart doesn't have what i need. This way i get things cheaper and faster
My concern with Amazon is that they source the products from seemingly anybody that wants to sell it to them. Not good. Or am I wrong?
This has been a surprise for me too, and not a good one. Although I shop mainly with Amazon, I'm very careful not to buy from a third party. Returns are a nightmare.
Consumer is made aware of that at purchase so it's the consumers' responsibility & choice to make.
@@ChasingForever Twice I've ordered from Amazon, only to find out 2 weeks later, when my package didn't arrive, that the vendor had canceled the order without notifying me. OF COURSE, they were both gifts. I live in a rural area, and there is very little shopping other than Walmart. I'm elderly, and they are the cheapest usually, for prescriptions. I hate Walmart too, but am kind of stuck, although, I do use Amazon.
I have had some recent bad shipping and customer service experiences with Walmart, so I will stick with my Amazon account for now.
Kroger! Fuel perks & savings without paying for a membership.
Their membership fee is built into their product pricing... but if that works for you that's awesome.
If you hit their sales, often times they are cheaper than Walmart. And their store brand is usually decently priced as well.
Totally agree that we shouldn’t have to pay for the privilege of a great shopping experience - great point. But then there is The Marvelous Mrs Maisel... counter point
I won’t shop with either! I would rather put hot coals in my eyes than give Jeff Bezos a penny.
can't argue with stupidity
George Howard Because I refuse two corporations whose major business plan is to put out of business as many smaller businesses as possible? Obviously, you have the same game plan in life as Walmart and Amazon, except instead of putting small business owners out of business, you just stiff them.
I have Amazon Prime and I love it. I also shop at Walmart from time to time.
I must be a unicorn. I have never purchased anything off Amazon. I don't even know what Amazon Prime is. What I do know is that my neighbors order a lot of stuff, because they're deliveries daily. All I see are cardboard boxes overflowing from there trash bins. Poor trees.
As for Walmarts, I don't get the big whoop-de-doo about them. Mine is a half an hour away, too far unless I'm in the area. Their groceries are limited in variety & higher priced than my local Publix. Grant it, there are some items of value if you live nearby. I get way better deals watching the ads for bogo deals. And to have to buy $35 worth of stuff for free delivery, I would be buying just to buy. I dislike my Walmarts (Miami). None of the employees speak English other than the manager, they have no electric wheelchairs that work, half of the shelves are empty, the aisles are a hot & disorganized mess & one time they had NO BAGS for your purchases. Not to mention you have to wait in long lines to scan your own items. Who is paying me to play cashier?
for me, the same day free grocery delivery is what sets it apart. Groceries are a baked in part of life and amazon doesnt have the same offering in terms of groceries. For example, i cant order 1 onion, or cilantro from amazon. Walmart, i can. I know whole foods you can, but as of now whole foods is has pretty limited locations, not to mention they are expensive! Free same day grocery delivery is the game changer here. The scan and go also sweetens the deal but not enought to get me to switch. The grocery delivery however has me thinking.... Will have to analyse it a little more.
Bought grocery from walmart earlier this year. My order was messed up, lids were cracked or leaking. Won't order a delivery from them again.
1) When was the last time you actually had 2-day shipping from Amazon? I was told 4-6 WEEKS today on an Item I ordered with 2-day shipping 6 mos. ago. Also no 1-day shipping to me, Walmart 6 miles away.
2) $98/year for Walmart Plus, $119/year.
You meant $98 per year right? 10:49
Yes my bad!! $98 a month, can you imagine!!
@@thedealguy I caught that too but knew what you'd meant - I don't think Walmart would sell too many memberships for $1200/year ;-) But who knows perhaps if they do the list making, shopping and put things away, sort of like a personal shopper and butler I'd pay $100 for that...
@@thedealguy If Walmart is $98 then there is a $1.75/month difference not 4 cents as Amazon Prime is now $119.
@@pattyyung Like Patty says, the monthly price is much more than 4 cents less than Amazon Prime.
BTW, I saw that same error on some website... maybe Yahoo Finance.
I think that the people who love to shop at Wal-Mart will take advantage of that service...I shop at both Amazon and Wal-Mart. But I will definitely chexk out Wal-Mart online services . Thank you for sharing.
Doesn’t Walmart carry a lot of more items from China?
thawabu more than Amazon? I think a ton of amazon products are from China also.
@@dianasimplifies Almost everything that requires labor is from China or had some sort of connection
Every store in America carries over 90% of China goods. If it needs labor, most likely its from or at least parts are from China. Looks like Costco is better
Billy right, so I don’t think it matters much whether WM or amazon
Amazon prime: Prime Video (free movies & TV shows), no delivery fee, can order just 1 item for $1 and no delivery fee, amazon pick up / drop stations, amazon lockers, free reading material online, free storage for photos, can filter shopping to exclude 3rd party sellers (most suck), free music player.
Walmart: Promise of 1 day delivery & gas discount. Maybe SAM's Club discounts in the future.
From what I read, you still have to order $35 + to get free shipping from Walmart.. The only place I saw Walmart gas stations was in TX & a few areas on the east coast. I'll stick with Prime.
I have amazon prime and use the monthly savings❤️ (I do wish I could use the monthly savings to ship to my mother🤔) But I have a BJ’s credit card that I use on all my shopping to get cash back and I get Gas at BJ’s so I save on that ❤️
I only go to Walmart once a year(did go more before Amazon) 😬
Tami Johnson why can’t you ship to your mom. My hubby buys his mom stuff all the time on amazon and ships straight to her. I ship to other people too for gifts during the year. You can add shipping addresses.
Just create multiple ships to address. When you check out chose where you want to ship your purchase.
I’m talking about Amazon “ subscribe and save” I don’t believe you can have two different automatic shipments places a month I know you can ship to any address you want
@@tamijohnson3159 - Yep, multiple addresses on subs and save don't work. It will ship to your default address.
You can add her as a family member in your prime account. I have my mother and my son as family members. She has a different address. Ships directly to her. She doesn't have any subs but you should look into the Family Account.
Matt: wow I am doing a lot of hand motions and air quotations, you can tell I am excited, fired up
Matt’s 👐🏻: yeah we are free...free...we can express ourselves and get excited 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👋🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻....so guys won’t you give us the 👐🏻 a big 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why is everyone using the word "plus?" Like come on. Be more creative.
I just wanted to clarify the following since I work for Walmart..
1. The $98 price is for 1 full year
2. We offer a 15-day free trial so people can try before they go through with their payment plan of either $12.95/month or $98/year
3. We can double the 15-day free trial to a full month (30-days) if the customer answers 3 questions after starting the free trial
4. Having the experience of using Walmart+, it saves me plenty of time because I can just scan the QR code at a self-checkout register & be on my way.
hate walmart, quality is garbage
amazon has not let me down
