About Walmart
Walmart Inc. is the world's largest retailer by revenue, operating over 10,500 stores and clubs in 19 countries. Founded by Sam Walton in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas, the company has grown from a single five-and-dime store into a global retail powerhouse headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. Walmart's mission — "Save Money. Live Better." — drives its commitment to delivering everyday low prices across groceries, electronics, home goods, fashion, and more.
In the United States, Walmart operates approximately 4,700 stores alongside a rapidly expanding e-commerce platform at Walmart.com. The company has invested heavily in digital transformation, offering services like curbside pickup, same-day delivery through Spark Driver, Express Delivery in 30 minutes or less, and the Walmart+ membership program. With its Marketplace platform hosting over 150,000 third-party sellers, Walmart.com now offers hundreds of millions of items online.
Walmart's key differentiators include its unmatched price leadership, extensive physical store network enabling omnichannel fulfillment, a growing financial services arm (Walmart OnePay), and its commitment to sustainability with a goal of zero emissions by 2040. The Walmart+ membership ($98/year) includes free delivery, fuel discounts, and exclusive early access to major sales events like Walmart Deals Week.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Walmart Deals Week 2026 and when does it start?
Walmart Deals Week 2026 runs from June 22 through June 28. It is Walmart's biggest summer savings event, competing directly with Amazon Prime Day. The sale features up to 50% off electronics, fashion, toys, furniture, skincare, and more. Deals go live online at 12:01 AM ET on June 22 and in stores at 6 AM local time. You do not need a Walmart+ membership to shop, but members get 24-hour early access to the hottest deal drops.
2. How much does Walmart+ cost and is it worth it?
Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.95 per month. It includes free delivery from your local store with no order minimum, free shipping on Walmart.com orders, fuel discounts at 14,000+ stations, and early access to major sales events. Students and government assistance recipients qualify for a 50% discount ($49/year). If you order groceries regularly or shop during sales events, the membership typically pays for itself within a few months through delivery fee savings alone.
3. How do I apply a Walmart promo code?
To use a Walmart promo code, add items to your cart on Walmart.com or the Walmart app. At checkout, look for the "Promo code" field below your order summary. Paste or type your code and click "Apply." The discount will reflect in your total before you complete the purchase. Note that most promo codes cannot be combined — only one code per order. However, codes do stack with Rollback prices and Walmart Cash rebates.
4. Does Walmart offer free shipping?
Yes. Walmart offers free standard shipping on orders of $35 or more with no membership required. Walmart+ members get free shipping with no order minimum. Express Delivery (items arrive in 30 minutes or less from your local store) costs $19.99 per order but is free for Walmart+ members. Walmart also offers free curbside pickup at over 4,700 store locations nationwide.
5. What is the Walmart OnePay card and how does it save money?
Walmart OnePay includes both a debit card and a credit card designed to maximize savings at Walmart. The debit card offers 10% cash back on your first online order and 3% cash back on all subsequent online orders. The credit card earns 5% back for Walmart+ members and 3% for non-members on Walmart purchases. Both cards work in-store, online, and at Walmart fuel stations. There are no annual fees.
6. What is Walmart's return policy?
Walmart accepts returns on most items within 90 days of purchase with a receipt. Electronics and certain specialty items have a 30-day return window. Items can be returned in-store (even if purchased online) or by mail. Walmart.com orders include a prepaid return shipping label. Some items like opened software, video games, and hazardous materials may have restrictions. Marketplace seller items follow the seller's return policy, which must be at least 30 days.
7. Does Walmart price match?
Walmart does not formally price match competitors. However, Walmart's "Everyday Low Price" strategy means their prices are generally competitive. If you find a lower price on Walmart.com versus in-store, you can show the lower online price at checkout and the store will typically honor it. The best strategy is to compare prices using the Walmart app's barcode scanner while shopping in-store.
8. How does Walmart Cash work?
Walmart Cash is a rewards program available through the Walmart app. Browse the "Walmart Cash" section in the app, tap to activate offers on specific products (like "$6 back on Schwarzkopf" or "$2 back on Colgate"), then purchase those items. Your Walmart Cash balance accumulates and can be applied to future purchases online or in-store. It works alongside promo codes and Rollback prices for stacked savings.
9. Can I use multiple Walmart promo codes on one order?
Generally, Walmart allows only one promo code per order. However, promo codes stack with other savings: Rollback prices, Walmart Cash rebates, and OnePay card cash back all apply on top of a promo code. For maximum savings, activate Walmart Cash offers in the app, apply your best promo code at checkout, and pay with your OnePay card to earn additional cash back.
10. Does Walmart offer student discounts?
Yes. Walmart offers a 50% discount on Walmart+ membership for eligible students, bringing the annual cost from $98 down to $49 per year. The student discount is verified through SheerID. Additionally, government assistance recipients (SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, SSI, and TANF) also qualify for the 50% Walmart+ discount. The discounted membership includes all standard benefits: free delivery, free shipping, fuel discounts, and early access to sales.
