Pump Up Your Savings: How to Use Walmart+ for Gas (and Not Look Like a Doofus at the Pump)
Let's face it, gas prices are about as predictable as a toddler's mood swings. One minute they're low enough to make you consider a road trip to Alaska, the next they're reaching for the stratosphere. But fear not, weary traveler (or just someone who needs to get to work without filing for bankruptcy), for Walmart+ offers a sweet, sweet discount on that precious pump juice.
Hold on, what's this Walmart+ thingamajig you speak of?
Glad you asked! Walmart+, my friend, is a membership program that unlocks a treasure trove of benefits, including free grocery delivery, exclusive discounts, and yes, gas savings. We're focusing on that last one today, because let's be honest, who doesn't love saving money, especially when it involves things that keep your car (and your social life) moving?
Alright, alright, enough chit-chat. How do I use this magical gas discount?
Here's where things get exciting, my friend. But before we dive in, a word to the wise: don't be that guy who holds up the pump line fumbling with their phone. No one wants to be stuck behind you while you decipher ancient hieroglyphics on the Walmart app. So, take a deep breath, channel your inner tech whiz, and follow these steps:
-
Download the Walmart App (unless you're living under a rock): This is your key to unlocking the gas savings kingdom. Download it, sign in to your Walmart+ account, and bask in the warm glow of your impending discount.
-
Find a Participating Gas Station: Not all gas stations are created equal, especially when it comes to Walmart+ discounts. Use the app's handy dandy station finder to locate participating Exxon, Mobil, Murphy USA, Murphy Express, Sam's Club, and even select Walmart stations. Pro tip: Participating stations might offer different discount amounts, so a little comparison shopping can go a long way (just don't spend more gas than you save!).
-
Activate Your Discount (Here Comes the Fun Part): Depending on the station, you might need to:
- Scan a QR Code: Look for a little square barcode on the pump. Open the Walmart app, navigate to the "Member Prices on Fuel" section, and scan that bad boy with your phone's camera. Presto! Discount activated.
- Enter a Discount ID: Some stations might require you to enter a special ID number from the app. Find it in the same "Member Prices on Fuel" section and punch it in on the pump's keypad. Easy peasy.
- Fill Up and Save! Now comes the best part: pumping gas and watching those precious cents shave off the total. Feel free to do a little victory dance. You deserve it.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget, you can use your Walmart Pay (linked to your Walmart+ account) to pay at the pump for an extra layer of convenience (and maybe a few more points for your inner gadget geek).
There you have it! You're now a master of the Walmart+ gas discount. Go forth and conquer those high gas prices, my friend. Remember, knowledge is power, and the power to save money on gas is a superpower everyone should possess. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a road trip to Alaska to plan (or maybe just a grocery delivery to take advantage of).
