Walmart Promo Code & Coupons December 2025

More Ways to Stretch Your Budget at Walmart

Apply a Walmart Promo Code, Step by Step

Getting your discount to show up at checkout is straightforward once you know the process. Here's exactly how to make sure your savings stick:

1. Add items to your cart and proceed to checkout on Walmart.com or through the Walmart app
2. Look for the promo code box during the payment step — it's usually labeled "Promo Code" or "Gift Card"
3. Enter your code carefully and click "Apply" to see the discount reflected in your order total
4. Double-check your savings appear before completing your purchase, especially for free shipping offers
5. Screenshot your confirmation if you're stacking multiple offers or using Walmart Cash rewards

Pro tip: If your code isn't working, make sure you've hit any minimum spend requirements and that the items in your cart are eligible. Some offers exclude marketplace items or require a Walmart+ membership to activate.

Get 50% Off Walmart+ for Students and Assistance Recipients

This is where Walmart makes membership accessible to everyone. If you qualify for government assistance or you're a college student, you can snag Walmart+ for just $49 per year instead of the regular $98. That works out to about $4 per month for all the membership perks.

The eligibility process is straightforward — you'll need to verify your status through their system. For students, that means providing your .edu email or student ID information. For government assistance recipients, you'll verify through their Walmart+ Assist program. Once approved, you get the same benefits as regular members: free delivery on orders over $35, gas savings, pharmacy delivery, and early access to deals.

Free Delivery That Actually Makes Sense

Grocery & Essentials Delivery

Unlike some competitors who set high thresholds, Walmart's free delivery kicks in at just $35 for groceries and essentials. That's basically one decent grocery run, so you'll hit it without trying. Walmart+ members get same-day grocery delivery as fast as today, plus free next-day and two-day shipping from Walmart.com with no order minimum for members.

Pharmacy Delivery

The pharmacy delivery is particularly clever since most people need prescriptions regularly anyway. Walmart+ members get free pharmacy delivery with no minimum order — perfect for prescription refills. You save the $9.95 delivery fee, and you can get medications delivered the same day in many areas. It's not available for InHome delivery, and eligibility varies by medication type, but for routine prescriptions, it's a solid money-saver.

Earn 5% Cash Back with Smart Credit Card Strategy

The OnePay CashRewards Card is designed to work with Walmart+ membership for maximum returns. Walmart+ members earn unlimited 5% cash back at Walmart, while non-members get 3%. You'll also earn 1.5% on all other purchases with zero annual fee.

The welcome bonus sweetens the deal: spend $75 within your first 30 days and get $35 cash back. If you're already shopping at Walmart for groceries and household items, this bonus is easy to hit. The math works especially well for families who spend $200+ monthly at Walmart — that extra 2% cash back for members essentially pays for the entire Walmart+ membership.

Gas Savings That Add Up Fast

Walmart+ members save 10¢ per gallon at Walmart, Exxon, Mobil, and Murphy stations, plus get member prices at Sam's Club gas stations. In Alabama and Oklahoma, the savings drop to 5¢ per gallon, but it's still money back in your pocket.

For context, if you fill up twice a week with a 15-gallon tank, you're looking at about $156 in annual gas savings. That's more than the cost of the Walmart+ membership right there, before you factor in any delivery or shopping benefits.

Stack Walmart Cash with Partner Offers

This is where things get interesting. Walmart's partnered with services you might actually want to try, and they're throwing Walmart Cash on top of free trials:

• Apple Music — up to 5 free months with no additional Walmart Cash, but solid value
• Crunchyroll Premium — 30 days free plus $5 Walmart Cash
• eMeals — 60 days free plus $10 Walmart Cash for meal planning and grocery delivery
• HOMER reading app — annual subscription nets you $50 Walmart Cash
• Wag! pet services — spend $20, get $30 Walmart Cash back

The key is only signing up for services you'll actually use. The Walmart Cash is nice, but don't let it trick you into subscriptions you'll forget to cancel.

Walmart App Perks That Save Time and Money

In-Store Shopping Features

The Walmart app isn't just for ordering — it's packed with money-saving features that work in-store too. Scan & Go lets you scan items as you shop and pay through your phone, skipping checkout lines entirely. You can also scan barcodes to check prices and see if items are in stock at your local store.

Exclusive App Benefits

The app offers exclusive discounts you won't find on the website, plus features like Virtual Try-On for beauty and clothing purchases. For furniture and decor, you can use AR to see how items look in your space before buying. It's like having a personal shopping assistant that actually knows what it's talking about.

$4 Generic Prescriptions and Pharmacy Savings

Walmart's pharmacy pricing is legitimately competitive. A 30-day supply of generic prescriptions starts at just $4, which beats most insurance copays. Walmart+ members get free pharmacy delivery with no minimum order, saving the usual $9.95 delivery fee.

The delivery service covers most medications and arrives the same day in many areas. It's not available for InHome delivery, and eligibility varies by medication type, but for routine prescriptions, it's a solid money-saver.

Returns Made Simple

Walmart's return policy is refreshingly straightforward. You get up to 10 business days for most credit and debit card refunds, and they'll process returns to your original payment method. In select locations, they'll even pick up returns from your home — no repacking or printing labels required.

If you don't have a receipt, bring valid government-issued photo ID. They'll look up your purchase in their system and offer an exchange, Walmart gift card, or manufacturer repair if available. It's the kind of hassle-free experience that makes online shopping less risky.

Early Access and Seasonal Deals

Walmart+ members get early access to deals during Black Friday, Walmart+ Week, and other major sales events. It's online only and while supplies last, but it gives you first crack at doorbuster deals before they sell out.

They also run seasonal "rollback" events where prices drop across multiple categories. Unlike flash sales that last hours, rollbacks typically run for weeks, giving you time to plan purchases around the best prices.
