Walmart Business+ Is Basically Paying You to Sign Up Right Now
Here’s one of those deals where you almost have to re-read it to believe it: Walmart is giving new Business+ members $100 in Walmart Business Rewards when they sign up for a membership that costs just $98 a year. That’s a net gain of $2 on day one — before you’ve used a single perk.
This offer is part of Walmart’s Small Business Month promotion, and it’s aimed squarely at small business owners, side hustlers, and anyone who buys in bulk for work or resale.
What You’re Actually Getting
The Walmart Business+ membership runs $98 per year and is designed for small business owners, not individual households. Along with the $100 in Walmart Business Rewards you get for joining, members also get benefits like free shipping on eligible orders, cash back on purchases, and tools to manage business spending.
The math is simple: you’re essentially getting the first year free plus $2 back, then deciding if the ongoing perks are worth renewing. For anyone who already shops at Walmart for supplies, inventory, or bulk household goods, that’s a very easy yes.
Who This Deal Is Built For
This one has a more specific audience than most deals we cover, but if you fit the profile, it’s a no-brainer:
- Home-based sellers on platforms like Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, or Amazon who buy packaging, supplies, or inventory at Walmart
- Farmers and ranch operators who regularly pick up feed, hardware, or equipment at Walmart Supercenter or Neighborhood Market locations
- Small service businesses — think landscapers, cleaners, or handymen — who buy supplies in bulk
- Side hustlers and resellers stocking up during clearance or seasonal sales
- Southern families running small operations out of the home who already make Walmart a weekly stop
If you’re a pure household shopper with no business angle, this isn’t the right membership — Walmart+ (the consumer version) would be a better fit for you.
A Quick Reality Check
A few things worth knowing before you click:
- The $100 comes as Walmart Business Rewards, not cash back to your bank account. You’ll spend it at Walmart Business, which is fine if that’s already where you shop — just don’t expect a check.
- This is for new Business+ members only, so existing members don’t qualify.
- It’s a Small Business Month promotion, which means the window is limited. If you’ve been on the fence about trying Walmart’s business tools, now’s the time to act.
- The membership auto-renews at $98/year, so set a reminder to evaluate whether you want to keep it before renewal hits.
Is It Worth It Compared to Alternatives?
For pure rewards value on a membership, it’s hard to beat getting more back than you put in. Business credit cards with annual fees in the $95–$99 range (like many popular small business cards) typically require significant spend before you break even on the fee. Here, you’re already ahead from day one.
If you’re already a Costco Business member or Sam’s Club Plus member, this doesn’t necessarily replace those — but it could complement your bulk shopping rotation, especially if you’re near a Walmart with competitive pricing on the categories you buy most.
How to Grab It
Head to the Walmart Business+ signup page [AFFILIATE:walmart_business] and start a new membership. The $100 in Walmart Business Rewards should be applied to your new account. As always, read the terms to confirm the rewards delivery timeline before completing checkout.
Bottom line: if there’s any small-business angle to your spending, this is one of the cleanest “instant value” membership deals we’ve seen this spring.
