How To Cancel Walmart Plus In 2026: Refunds, Trials And Peacock

Short answer: sign in at walmart.com or open the Walmart app, go to Account, then Walmart+, then Manage membership, tap Manage beside your Walmart+ plan, then Cancel beside Cancel membership, and confirm. Do it before your renewal date, because the fee is non-refundable once it is charged. Paid members keep their benefits until the end of the term; trial members can lose them straight away.
Walmart+ is one of the simpler memberships to leave. There is no app store billing layer to untangle for most people, and the cancel button lives in the same place on the website and in the app. What trips people up is everything around it: the retention screens that look like a confirmation, an annual fee that does not come back, a streaming perk that disappears the moment the membership does, and Amex cardholders who assume closing the card ends Walmart+.
This guide covers the full process on the web and in the app, the 2026 prices, the difference between cancelling the renewal and losing access immediately, the Walmart+ Assist and student plans, the Paramount+ and Peacock benefit, the Amex Platinum route, and what to do if you were charged anyway.
First, Check Who Is Billing You
Almost every Walmart+ member is billed by Walmart itself, but the card that pays and the account that holds the membership both matter. Check your statement before you start.

Where to cancel
A Walmart or Walmart+ charge for $12.95 or $98
Walmart directly

A Walmart+ charge followed by a matching Amex statement credit
Walmart, with American Express reimbursing you
Still walmart.com or the app; Amex cannot cancel it for you
A $49 or $6.47 Walmart charge
Walmart, on the Assist or Student plan
walmart.com or the Walmart app, same steps
PEACOCK or PARAMOUNT+ charges
The streaming service, or Walmart for an ad-free upgrade
Upgrades: your Walmart account. Separate subscriptions: Peacock or Paramount+ directly

In the US, Walmart+ costs $12.95 a month plus tax, or $98 a year, which works out at about $8.17 a month on the annual plan. People who receive certain government assistance, and college students, pay half: $49 a year or $6.47 a month. The price shown at sign up, or on your Walmart+ page, is the one that applies to you, and renewals are charged at the rate in force at the time plus tax.

Trial

Converts to a full price monthly or annual plan
Walmart has run the trial as a free 30 days for years; the current offer on the Walmart+ page is 30 days for $1. Either way, the terms say every trial auto-renews into a full price monthly or annual membership unless you cancel, and only one trial is allowed per customer.
When To Cancel So You Are Not Charged
Walmart does not publish a fixed cutoff in hours, unlike some memberships. The rule that matters is simpler and stricter: once the renewal fee has been charged, the terms say it is non-refundable except where the terms or the law say otherwise. So the deadline is the renewal date itself, and the safe habit is to cancel at least a day or two before it, not on the morning it renews.
Find your date first. Your next billing date is on the Walmart+ page of your account.
Paid members lose nothing by cancelling early. Walmart’s terms say you can keep using the membership until the end of the term you paid for, so there is no reason to wait until the last day.
Trial members are different. Cancelling during a trial can end the benefits immediately, so if you want to use the full trial, set a reminder for two or three days before it ends.
Use Remind Me Later if you are undecided. Walmart’s help page offers this option in the cancel flow: instead of cancelling, you get an email three days before renewal.
How To Cancel Walmart Plus On The Website
This is the route Walmart’s own help page describes, and it is the easiest place to see your renewal date and billing history at the same time.
Sign in at walmart.com. Use the account that holds the membership. If your household has more than one Walmart login, check which one is paying.
Open Account, then Walmart+. The Walmart+ page shows your plan and next billing date.
Select Manage membership.
Select Manage beside Walmart+ plan. This is where you can also switch between monthly and annual.
Select Cancel beside Cancel membership.
Get past the retention screen. Walmart now shows three choices: confirm the cancellation, view an exclusive offer, or keep your membership. Only the confirm option cancels. An offer screen is not a confirmation.
Check the result. Your Walmart+ page should show the date your membership ends rather than a renewal date. Screenshot it and keep the confirmation email.
How To Cancel Walmart Plus In The App
The Walmart app on iPhone and Android uses the same account and the same membership, so the steps mirror the website. Walmart’s terms describe the app route as Account, then Walmart+, then the gear icon.
Open the Walmart app and tap Account. It is the profile icon in the bottom menu.
Tap Walmart+.
Tap the gear icon or Manage membership. The label varies slightly between app versions.
Tap Manage beside your Walmart+ plan, then Cancel membership.
Confirm the cancellation on the final screen, skipping the offer and keep membership options.
Reopen the Walmart+ screen and check that it now shows an end date.
Unlike many subscriptions, Walmart+ is not normally sold as an Apple or Google in-app purchase, so you will not find it under iPhone Settings or Play Store subscriptions. Cancel in the Walmart app or on the website whichever phone you use.
How To Cancel Walmart+ By Phone
If you cannot sign in, or the cancel option will not load, the Walmart+ terms list Walmart Customer Care at (800) 924-9206 as a cancellation route. Have the email address on the account ready, ask the agent to confirm the date the membership ends, and ask for the cancellation to be emailed to you. A phone call is also the place to raise a refund request for a charge you believe was wrong.
Cancelling The Renewal Vs Ending It Now
Searches for turning off Walmart+ auto-renew usually come from people who want to stop the next charge but keep what they paid for. On a paid plan, that is exactly what the standard cancellation does. There is no separate auto-renew switch to hunt for.
Situation
What cancelling does
When benefits stop
Paid monthly plan
Stops the next monthly charge
At the end of the current month
Paid annual plan
Stops next year’s renewal
At the end of the 12 month term
Trial
Stops conversion to a paid plan
Possibly immediately, per Walmart’s terms
You change your mind
Reactivate membership on the Walmart+ page
Nothing is lost if you do it before the term ends
If you need access to end today, for example because you are closing the account, cancel online first and then contact Customer Care. Ending a paid term early does not by itself bring any money back.
How To Cancel The Walmart Plus Free Trial
You cancel a trial with the same steps as a paid membership. Two rules in the Walmart+ terms are worth knowing before you do.
Benefits can end on the spot. The terms say that if you cancel during a trial, Walmart may end the membership immediately and you lose the trial benefits right away. That includes free delivery and the streaming benefit.
No refunds on trials. If you paid $1 for the trial, that does not come back.
The practical approach: if you have a large order or a show you want to finish, use the trial first and cancel two or three days before it ends. If you already know you will not keep it, cancel now. Note which plan the trial is set to convert into, because some sign ups default to annual, which turns a forgotten trial into a $98 charge.
Cancelling An Annual Walmart+ Membership
This is the edge case most people get stuck on. The annual plan is the better deal, but it is also the one where a missed renewal hurts most, and Walmart’s terms do not offer a prorated refund for the unused months. The membership fee is non-refundable except where the terms or applicable law require one.
Cancelling mid-year stops the renewal, not the current year. You keep free delivery, fuel savings and the other benefits until the anniversary date.
Cancel early, not late. As soon as you decide you will not renew, cancel. You lose nothing and remove the risk of forgetting.
If the $98 renewal just hit and you have not used any benefits, contact Customer Care promptly and ask. A refund is not guaranteed, and asking the same week is far more likely to succeed than asking months later.
Consider switching instead. If you only need Walmart+ for part of the year, the monthly plan costs more per month but lets you drop it between busy seasons.
Walmart+ Through Amex Platinum
The US Consumer Platinum Card from American Express gives a statement credit of $12.95 plus applicable taxes each month when you pay for Walmart+ with that card. The credit only applies to the base monthly plan, not the annual plan, and the membership itself is still a normal Walmart+ membership billed by Walmart.
Cancel in your Walmart account, not with Amex. Walmart’s Amex page says you can cancel any time through your account, using the same steps as above.
Closing or downgrading the card does not cancel Walmart+. The membership keeps renewing, and if Walmart charges a different saved card, nothing reimburses you.
Switching to annual ends the credit. If you move to the $98 plan to save money, you lose the monthly Amex credit, which makes it more expensive for a Platinum cardholder.
Check the credit is still posting. If you see the Walmart+ charge but no matching credit, confirm the payment card on the Walmart+ page is the Platinum card.
Walmart+ Assist And Student Memberships
Walmart+ Assist is the half price plan for people eligible for SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, TTANF, NSLP or LIHEAP. Walmart+ Student offers the same discount to students at Title IV accredited colleges. Both currently cost $49 a year or $6.47 a month.
Cancelling works the same way. Account, then Walmart+, then Manage membership, then Cancel.
Verification lasts one year. Walmart’s terms say your verified status is valid for a year from when the paid Assist or Student membership starts. If you stop qualifying, or do not reverify, check your Walmart+ page so you are not moved to full price without noticing.
Consider downgrading rather than cancelling. If you are paying $12.95 a month and now qualify for Assist, switching may suit you better than leaving altogether.
What Happens To Paramount+ Or Peacock When You Cancel
Walmart+ includes one ad supported streaming service at no extra cost: Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium. You pick one and can switch once every 90 days. The benefit depends on an active Walmart+ membership, so it goes when the membership goes.
Your streaming setup
What to do when cancelling Walmart+
Included Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium only
Nothing extra. Access ends with your Walmart+ membership.
Ad free upgrade bought through Walmart
Upgrades require an active Walmart+ membership and their fees are non-refundable. Cancel the upgrade in your Walmart account before its renewal date.
A separate Peacock or Paramount+ plan you pay for directly
Not affected. Cancel it with the streaming service if you no longer want it.
You want to keep watching
Subscribe directly with Peacock or Paramount+ after your Walmart+ benefit ends.
If you are only keeping Walmart+ for the streaming, compare it with paying for the service directly. If you are leaving Peacock too, our guide on how to cancel Peacock covers the separate billing routes.
What Happens After You Cancel Walmart+
Once your term ends, everything tied to the membership stops at the same time.
Walmart+ benefit
After cancellation
Free delivery from your store and free shipping
Standard delivery fees and shipping minimums return
Fuel savings at participating stations
Ends
Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium
Ends; ad free upgrades also end
Plus Up add ons
Ended automatically, per Walmart’s terms
Partner perks such as restaurant discounts
No longer available
Your Walmart account, orders and payment methods
Unchanged
Place big orders before the end date. Free delivery ends with the membership, so a large grocery order belongs before it, not after.
You can reactivate before the term ends. Walmart’s help page says you can select Reactivate membership on the Walmart+ page if you change your mind before the billing cycle closes.
You will not get another trial. The terms allow one trial per customer, so rejoining later means paying from day one unless Walmart sends you an offer.
Cancel Walmart+ Or Delete Your Walmart Account?
People searching how to cancel a Walmart subscription sometimes mean the whole account. These are different actions, and most people only need the first.
Cancel Walmart+
Delete Walmart account
Stops the membership charge
Yes
Cancel Walmart+ first to be sure
Keeps order history and receipts
Yes
No
Keeps the ability to shop online
Yes, without member benefits
No, you need a new account

Yes
No
Reversible
Yes, rejoin or reactivate any time
No
Where to do it
Account, then Walmart+, then Manage membership
Walmart’s privacy request process
If you do want the account gone, cancel Walmart+ first and wait for the confirmation email, so there is a clear record that the membership ended before the account did.
Can You Get A Walmart Plus Refund?
As a rule, no. The Walmart+ terms say the membership fee, Plus Up fees and streaming upgrade fees are non-refundable except as the terms expressly allow or as applicable law requires, and trial fees are never refunded. That applies to both monthly and annual plans, and there is no prorated refund for the unused part of a term. The exceptions are narrow:
Walmart ends or changes the programme. The terms say that if Walmart terminates memberships, it may refund any term that has not expired.
A charge you did not authorise. If you never signed up, or a household member did on your card, contact Customer Care quickly with the date and amount.
A renewal you cancelled before. If you have a screenshot or email showing you cancelled before the billing date, Walmart should reverse the charge. This is why the confirmation matters.
State consumer law. Some states have automatic renewal rules that give extra rights. Walmart’s terms carve out refunds required by law.
A bank chargeback is the last step, not the first. Walmart can restrict accounts with disputed charges, and Customer Care usually resolves a documented error faster than a dispute does.
