Activate Walmart Plus for Employees and Associates
When you activate Walmart Plus as an employee or an associate, the process is quite different. But before that, you need to meet the following eligibility criteria to activate Walmart Plus as an employee or associate:
- First, you need to be clocked in and must use a work computer for the activation process. This means that you can only activate Walmart Plus while you are at work using a computer at the workplace.
- You must have a minimum of 90 consecutive days of employment to be able to activate Walmart Plus. If not, you cannot activate the Walmart Plus subscription.
- You must also cancel any ongoing Walmart Plus subscription to get the free one as an employee or an associate.
Now that you know the eligibility criteria, let us see how you can activate Walmart Plus:
- On your work computer, go to the Walmart Plus sign-up page and click on the enrollment link.
- If you can’t find the link, simply go to the search bar and search for “W+.”
- Now, you need to watch a couple of training videos that are about 10 minutes combined.
- Once you have watched all the videos, click on “Accept & Submit.”
- Enter your email address. This email address will be used to create your Walmart Plus account.
- If you see a tax charge on your paystub related to your Walmart Plus account, don’t worry. Walmart will reimburse you for this charge in a subsequent paycheck.
- Congratulations! You have successfully activated Walmart Plus.
