The Walmart+ subscription service is being updated by the retailer to help shoppers save some money at the pump to combat the increasing cost of fuel. The service is extending an instant discount of up to $0.10 off per gallon of fuel purchased at participating stations as well as 12,000 Exxon and Mobil locations across the US. Member pricing will also be available at the more than 500 Sam's Club locations to maximize access to fuel savings.
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Walmart+ Chris Cracchiolo commented on the Walmart+ subscription service fuel discounts saying, "Ninety-one percent of our customers are aware of the increased prices at the pump and nearly half of those told us they are changing behaviors because of them. More access to a bigger discount will make a difference for our customers. We want Walmart+ to help our customers save time and money, not only when shopping with us, but throughout their day. We’re excited to continue to find new ways to deliver for them."
