What is the Walmart+ charge?
A WM+ MEMBERSHIP, WALMART*PLUS, or WALMART.COM* MEMBERSHIP charge on your bank statement refers to the monthly or annual fee for Walmart's premium shipping and benefits program. Launched to compete with Amazon Prime, Walmart+ offers members free professional delivery from stores, fuel discounts, and early access to deals. The charge typically appears as a flat rate of either $12.95 (monthly) or $98 (annually), plus any applicable local taxes.

Is This Charge Legitimate Or Fraudulent?
Unrecognized Walmart+ charges are frequently caused by "Silent Trial Expirations." Walmart aggressively promotes 30-day free trials at points of sale and online checkout. Many customers opt-in to save shipping costs on a single large order and forget to cancel. Once the trial expires, the "Continuous Billing" cycle begins. Fraud involves "Account Takeovers" where a thief gains access to your Walmart.com login and upgrades your account to Walmart+ to gain free shipping for fraudulent orders placed with your saved credit card.
Why Does This Charge Appear On My Bank Statement?
Walmart+ is a recurring subscription service. Common reasons for the charge include:
- Auto-Renewal: Your membership renewed for another month or year automatically.
- Promotion End: You were on a discounted promotional period (often offered for $49/yr) that has now ended and reverted to the full $98/yr rate.

How To Dispute This Charge
Always attempt to resolve billing errors with Walmart Customer Support first. They are generally helpful with membership refunds if the charge happened within the last 48 hours and you haven't used any delivery benefits since the renewal.
Dispute with your bank if:
- A Walmart+ charge appears but you do not have a Walmart account and have never shopped at their stores (identity theft).
- You cancelled your membership weeks ago, have the confirmation email, but were still billed for a renewal.
- You were charged the full annual rate ($98) when you explicitly signed up for the monthly plan ($12.95).
Timeline guidance
Contact Walmart support within 48 hours for the best chance at a membership refund. Bank disputes should be filed within 60 days of the statement date.
