## Walmart bundles two memberships into one
Walmart announced a joint membership combining Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus for one hundred twenty dollars per year, nearly one hundred dollars less than buying both separately.
## What the membership includes
The membership gives access to Sam's Club warehouses, free delivery from both chains, Peacock or Paramount+ streaming, gas savings and two percent Sam's Club cash on eligible purchases.
## CEO frames it as raising expectations
Walmart CEO John Furner said the membership gives customers more money in their pockets and more time to call their own for one hundred twenty dollars a year.

> For $120 a year, we're raising expectations for what a membership can deliver: more money in their pockets and more time to call their own.

## Employees get joint memberships as benefit
Walmart said employees at both stores will receive joint memberships as part of their benefits, and the membership program changes are not expected to materially impact fiscal third-quarter or full-year guidance.
## Key takeaway

Walmart launched a joint Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus membership for one hundred twenty dollars per year, bundling delivery, gas discounts and streaming access to drive sales amid consumer spending pressure.
