How do I cancel my Walmart+ membership?
You can cancel your Walmart+ membership through these two primary methods:
- Online via Your Walmart Account: This is often the easiest and quickest way to cancel. Simply log into your Walmart.com account, navigate to your Walmart+ membership settings, and follow the cancellation prompts.
- By Contacting Walmart Customer Support: If you prefer a more personal touch or are experiencing difficulties online, you can call Walmart Customer Support or use the online chat feature on the Walmart website and request cancellation assistance from an agent.
Let’s delve into each method in greater detail:
Method 1: Cancelling Online Through Your Walmart Account
This is the preferred method for many due to its convenience and speed. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Log in to Your Walmart.com Account: Head over to Walmart.com and click on the “Account” icon, usually located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Enter your username and password to access your account dashboard.
Navigate to Your Walmart+ Membership: Once logged in, look for a section labelled “Walmart+” or “Walmart+ Membership.” It might be listed under “Account” or “Services.” Click on this section to view your membership details.
Find the “Cancel Membership” Option: Within your Walmart+ membership details, you should find a clear option to “Cancel Membership” or “End Membership“. The wording may vary slightly, but it should be easily identifiable.
Confirm Your Cancellation: Walmart will likely present you with a few screens attempting to retain you as a member, perhaps highlighting the benefits you’ll be missing or offering a discount. Persist through these screens and confirm your cancellation request. You may be asked to provide a reason for cancelling.
Receive Confirmation: After completing the cancellation process, you should receive a confirmation email or see a confirmation message on the screen indicating that your Walmart+ membership has been successfully cancelled. Keep this confirmation for your records.
Method 2: Cancelling via Walmart Customer Support
If you’re having trouble cancelling online or prefer to speak with a representative, contacting Walmart Customer Support is a viable option.
Find the Walmart Customer Support Number or Chat Feature: The easiest way is to Google Walmart Customer Support. The phone number and the link to start a chat will be displayed.
Explain Your Request: When you connect with a customer service representative, clearly state that you want to cancel your Walmart+ membership. Provide them with your account details, such as your name, email address, and phone number associated with your Walmart+ account.
Answer Verification Questions: The representative will likely ask you a few questions to verify your identity and confirm that you are the account holder.
Confirm Cancellation and Request Confirmation: After verifying your identity, the representative will process your cancellation request. Be sure to ask for a confirmation number or email as proof of cancellation. Note the date and time of the call, and the name of the representative you spoke with.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Cancelling Walmart+
Here are 12 frequently asked questions that shed more light on the intricacies of the cancellation process:
1. Will I receive a refund if I cancel my Walmart+ membership?
The refund policy depends on when you cancel your membership. Walmart+ offers a refund if you cancel within the first 15 days of your paid membership. If you cancel after the initial 15-day period, you generally won’t receive a refund for the remaining time on your current billing cycle. Your benefits will continue until the end of the billing period.
2. What happens to my Walmart+ benefits after I cancel?
Your Walmart+ benefits will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. Once that cycle ends, your membership will officially terminate, and you will no longer have access to Walmart+ benefits like free shipping, free delivery, and discounts on prescriptions.
3. Can I pause my Walmart+ membership instead of cancelling?
Unfortunately, Walmart+ does not currently offer the option to pause your membership. The only options are to continue your membership or cancel it entirely.
4. How do I confirm that my Walmart+ membership has been cancelled?
The best way to confirm your cancellation is to check your email for a confirmation message from Walmart. You can also log into your Walmart.com account and navigate to the Walmart+ membership section. If your membership has been successfully cancelled, it should be indicated there. If you cannot access the website you can call Walmart Customer Support to confirm.
5. Can I reactivate my Walmart+ membership after cancelling?
Yes, you can reactivate your Walmart+ membership at any time. Simply log into your Walmart.com account and navigate to the Walmart+ section. You should see an option to reactivate your membership.
6. What if I’m having trouble cancelling my Walmart+ membership online?
If you encounter difficulties cancelling online, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies or using a different web browser. If the problem persists, contact Walmart Customer Support for assistance.
7. I signed up for Walmart+ through a promotional offer. Does that affect my cancellation?
The cancellation process is the same regardless of whether you signed up through a promotional offer. However, be aware that if the offer involved a discounted rate or a free trial, reactivating your membership later might mean you no longer qualify for the same promotional terms.
8. Can I cancel my Walmart+ membership through the Walmart app?
Yes, you can cancel through the Walmart app. The process is very similar to the website. You will need to navigate to your account section in the app to cancel your membership.
9. If I cancel my Walmart+ membership, will my Walmart account also be cancelled?
No, cancelling your Walmart+ membership only cancels the benefits associated with that program. Your regular Walmart.com account will remain active, and you can continue to shop online and in-store without being a Walmart+ member.
10. I’m being charged for Walmart+ even though I cancelled. What should I do?
If you’re being charged after you cancelled, immediately contact Walmart Customer Support and provide them with your cancellation confirmation (email or reference number). They can investigate the issue and ensure that the charges are stopped.
11. How soon after signing up for Walmart+ can I cancel?
You can cancel your Walmart+ membership at any time after signing up. However, remember that you’ll only receive a full refund if you cancel within the first 15 days of a paid membership.
12. Will I lose any rewards or points I’ve accumulated through Walmart+ if I cancel?
Cancelling your Walmart+ membership will not affect any rewards or points you’ve accumulated through other Walmart programs, such as the Walmart Rewards program. Those rewards are tied to your Walmart.com account, not specifically to your Walmart+ membership.
By following these steps and referring to the FAQs, you can confidently and efficiently cancel your Walmart+ membership without any unnecessary hassle. Remember to retain your cancellation confirmation for future reference.
