Walmart Plus is the mega-retailers answer to Amazon Prime. For a monthly (or annual) fee, shoppers get access to a range of member benefits, freebies and exclusive discounts. The two services have been pitched as rivals pretty much since day one, and Walmart just struck a bow that Amazon isn’t currently able to match.
Just confirmed in an official press release, Walmart is adding a host of travel-related perks to its service. Starting today (July 27), Walmart Plus subscribers will receive Walmart Cash (essentially in-store credit) when booking vacations through Walmart Plus Travel. Members will receive 5% cash on hotels, car rentals and activity bookings and 2% back on all flights, as well as a blended rate of Walmart Cash when purchasing a holiday package.
