What happened
Walmart launched a new annual membership bundle combining Walmart+ and Sam’s Club Plus for $120. This price is nearly $100 less than purchasing the two memberships separately and rivals the annual cost of Amazon Prime, which is $139. The bundle includes benefits such as free delivery, member-only pricing, gas discounts, and a choice between Peacock and Paramount+.

Why it matters
The launch intensifies operational competition between Walmart and Amazon across retail and e-commerce markets. This move follows Walmart reporting that membership fee revenue increased 17% in its second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call.
