WMT Plus is a Walmart membership program charge, not a refund or payment
WMT Plus on your bank statement is a monthly or annual charge from Walmart for their paid membership program. It is not a refund, a government payment, or a charge from a third party — it comes directly from Walmart and appears as a line item on your debit or credit card statement. The charge typically ranges from $6.99 to $12.99 per month, depending on which membership tier you chose, or a lump sum if you paid annually.
If you see this charge and do not remember signing up, or if you want to stop being charged, you can cancel the membership through your Walmart account online or by calling Walmart customer service. Cancellation is immediate, though you may still see a final charge if the billing cycle has already begun.
This charge is separate from regular Walmart purchases. If you buy groceries or other items at Walmart, those appear as separate transactions on your statement. WMT Plus only appears if you have an active membership.
Key Takeaways
- WMT Plus is a paid membership program from Walmart that charges your card monthly or annually for benefits like free shipping and fuel discounts.
- The charge appears on your statement as "WMT Plus" or "Walmart Plus" and is not related to individual purchases you make at Walmart.
- You can cancel your membership at any time through your Walmart account online or by contacting Walmart customer service.
- If you do not recognize the charge, check your email for a Walmart account confirmation or call Walmart to verify whether the account is yours.
What Walmart Plus membership includes
Walmart Plus is a subscription service that gives members benefits beyond a regular Walmart shopper account. The main perks are free next-day or same-day delivery on orders over a certain amount, fuel discounts at Walmart gas stations, and early access to online sales events. Some members also receive discounts on Walmart+ services like Paramount+ streaming.
The membership does not cover individual purchases — you still pay the regular price for groceries, clothing, and other items. It only covers the delivery and discount benefits. If you use the free delivery feature regularly, the membership may pay for itself; if you do not shop online or use fuel discounts, the charge may feel unnecessary.
How to find and cancel WMT Plus
To cancel your membership, log into your Walmart account on walmart.com or open the Walmart app. Go to your account settings, find the membership or subscription section, and select the option to cancel. Walmart will ask you to confirm, and the cancellation takes effect immediately. You will not be charged again after the current billing cycle ends.
If you do not have access to your account or cannot find the cancellation option, call Walmart customer service at 1-800-966-6546. A representative can cancel the membership for you over the phone and confirm that no future charges will appear on your card.
Keep in mind that if you cancel mid-cycle, you may still see one final charge on your statement for the current billing period. This is normal and is the last charge you will receive.
Why you might not remember signing up
Walmart Plus memberships sometimes get added accidentally during checkout when you are placing an online order. The option to add membership may appear as a pre-selected box or as part of a bundle offer, and it is easy to miss if you are clicking through quickly. Some people also sign up for a free trial and forget to cancel before the trial period ends, which triggers the first paid charge.
If you see a charge you do not recognize, check your email for a Walmart order confirmation or membership confirmation email. These emails usually arrive within a few hours of signup and will show the date you joined. If you find no email and believe the charge is fraudulent, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute it, and also contact Walmart to report unauthorized charges.
Checking your Walmart account for other subscriptions
While you are in your Walmart account canceling WMT Plus, check whether you have other active subscriptions. Some people sign up for Walmart+ and forget about it, or they may have recurring orders set up that they no longer need. Your account settings will show all active subscriptions and recurring charges tied to your card.
This is also a good time to review your payment method. If the card on file is old or you want to use a different card for future purchases, update it in your account settings. This prevents charges from failing and keeps your account current if you decide to use Walmart services again later.
Refunds for accidental charges
If you were charged for WMT Plus but canceled immediately, you may be able to get a refund for the current billing period. Contact Walmart customer service and explain that you canceled within a short time of being charged. Walmart sometimes issues refunds for memberships canceled within a few days, though this is not may provide and depends on how long ago the charge posted.
If Walmart declines to refund the charge, you can contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the transaction. Provide them with proof that you canceled the membership and ask them to reverse the charge. Banks can often recover funds for unwanted subscription charges, especially if you canceled quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund if I was charged for WMT Plus without my permission?
Contact Walmart customer service first and explain that you did not authorize the charge. If Walmart declines a refund, call your bank or credit card company and dispute the transaction as unauthorized. Banks can often reverse subscription charges if you canceled the membership promptly.
Does WMT Plus cover my regular Walmart purchases?
No. WMT Plus only covers delivery fees and fuel discounts. You still pay full price for groceries, clothing, and other items you buy at Walmart. The membership is only for the delivery and discount benefits.
What if I cancel WMT Plus but still see a charge on my statement?
A final charge may appear for the current billing cycle after you cancel. This is the last charge you will receive. If charges continue after your cancellation date, contact Walmart customer service immediately to confirm the cancellation went through.
How do I know if WMT Plus is worth keeping?
Review your Walmart purchases over the past few months. If you order online regularly and use free delivery, or if you fill up at Walmart gas stations, the membership may save you money. If you rarely shop online or use fuel, canceling will stop the monthly charge.
Is WMT Plus the same as a Walmart credit card?
No. WMT Plus is a membership subscription. A Walmart credit card is a separate product that gives you rewards on purchases. You can have one, both, or neither — they are independent of each other.
