| Can My Husband Use My Walmart Plus Membership |
Step 1: 🧐 Get the Scoop on the Official Policy (The "Buzzkill" Section)
Alright, let's hit the books. When you first signed up, you likely agreed to a Terms of Use that's about as long as a summer blockbuster movie. The official word on Walmart Plus sharing can be a little wishy-washy depending on when you ask, which makes things super confusing.
The core of the matter? Walmart Plus is generally set up for single-user access tied to the primary account holder. Think of it as your personal VIP pass.
1.1 The Primary Account Holder is the MVP
You, my friend, are the Primary Account Holder. This means:
You're the one whose credit card is on file (which, let's be honest, is a big responsibility).
Your login credentials (email and password) are the keys to the kingdom.
The "mobile Scan & Go" benefit is linked directly to your login on your phone's app. If your husband tries to use his separate Walmart account, he's just going to get a digital shrug emoji.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
1.2 The "Family Plan" Factor: A Shifting Target
Now, here's where it gets messy. While some services like Amazon Prime have a clear "Amazon Household" feature for sharing, Walmart+ has been a bit on-again, off-again with an official "Add a Member" feature.
Note: In the past, or for certain promotional plans, Walmart has allowed the primary member to "invite" another user, typically a spouse, via email. Always check your current 'Manage Membership' section because this feature pops up and disappears like a magician's rabbit! If you see the glorious "Add Member" button, then bingo! You've hit the sharing jackpot, and you can officially add your husband.
If you don't see it, well, prepare for the legendary workaround.
Step 2: 🤝 The Legendary Workaround (The "Sneaky but Smart" Section)
If the official "Add Member" button is giving you the cold shoulder, don't throw your remote at the TV just yet. Most couples who live under the same roof tackle this by simply sharing the single account login.
This is where you give your husband the old 'What's the password?' routine. Gasp! Is it against the rules? The official terms usually restrict transferring or assigning your membership. Sharing your login credentials is in a bit of a grey area, but since it's a household membership and you share an address, many people do this without a hitch.
2.1 Sharing the Keys to the Castle
The easiest way to let your hubby get his shop on is to use the exact same login info on his device.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Have him download the Walmart app (if he hasn't already—what's he waiting for?).
Have him log in using your email and password. Yes, your main one.
Both of you will now be operating as the Primary Account Holder on separate devices. It's like being two secret agents with the same identity!
2.2 Mastering the Multi-User Delivery Game
This is a game-changer for the free shipping and delivery benefits.
You can both order groceries or stuff online and select different delivery addresses, as long as they are within the service area (i.e., your house).
He can place an order for the house while you're at work, and you can place one later for those forgotten snacks.
Pro Tip: Make sure your husband adds his preferred payment method to the 'Wallet' in the shared account. This way, his charges go to his card, and yours go to yours. It keeps the budget straight and avoids any 'Who bought all the artisanal pickles?!' fights.
2.3 Fueling Up: The In-Store and Gas Pump Hustle
This part is where sharing gets a tad clunky, but it's totally doable.
For Scan & Go (In-Store Shopping): Your husband will use the shared account logged into the Walmart app on his phone. The Scan & Go feature is tied to the app login, not necessarily the person. He should be able to scan and checkout like a champ.
For Fuel Discounts: The discounted fuel price is accessed via the Walmart app at participating stations (like Murphy or Walmart stations). When he pulls up to the pump, he needs to open the app, select 'Services,' then 'Fuel,' and follow the prompts. The discount is applied through the app on the shared login, so you're all good. Just remember: no discount, no driving.
Step 3: 🛑 A Few Words of Caution (The "Don't Be a Goose" Section)
Look, sharing is caring, but you have to be smart about it. A little common sense goes a long way to keep your account safe and your membership active.
3.1 Trust is Everything
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
When you share your login, your husband has full access to the account.
He can see your entire order history. So, no surprising him with that giant novelty garden gnome you bought him for his birthday.
He can see and potentially change your payment methods and address book. Make sure you trust this man with your life (and your credit card numbers).
3.2 The Employee Discount Conundrum (If Applicable)
If you are a Walmart Associate and your membership includes an employee discount, this is a HUGE deal.
The Associate Discount is only for the Associate, their spouse, and dependents.
Improper use of an Associate Discount can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Seriously, this is not a drill.
If your husband is using your account, he must ensure he is eligible for and correctly applying (or not applying) any employee discount when he checks out. Don't get yourself fired over a bag of potato chips.
3.3 Simultaneous Use (The "Digital Traffic Jam" Section)
While the app is usually pretty chill, occasionally having two people trying to do major, complex things at the exact same time can cause a temporary log-out or a digital traffic jam.
Rule of Thumb: Don't both try to 'Manage Membership' settings at 10:00 AM on a Tuesday. Ordering groceries at the same time is usually fine, but heavy account management should be done one at a time.
Step 4: ✅ The High-Fives and Happy Ending
So, can your husband use your Walmart Plus membership? The short answer is: Yes, probably, with a strong wink to the 'sharing-a-login' workaround that most people use for household benefits. As long as you both live at the same address and you trust him with the login, he can enjoy the free shipping, the fuel discounts, and the glorious Scan & Go feature.
You've successfully turned your single-person VIP pass into a couples shopping dream team. You go, power couple! Now go forth and save some bucks!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
FAQ Questions and Answers
FAQ Questions and Answers
How to officially add my spouse if I have the feature?
If your "Manage Membership" settings (found under your Account page on Walmart.com or the app) show an "Add Member" or "Invite Family" option, click it! You'll typically enter your husband's email address, and Walmart will send him an official invitation to create his own linked login profile under your primary account.
What specific benefits can my husband access with my login?
He can access almost all major benefits: free shipping (on eligible items), free grocery delivery, member pricing on fuel (via the app), and the mobile Scan & Go feature in-store, all by using your shared login credentials on his own device.
What happens if we both try to place an order at the same time?
The Walmart system is usually robust enough to handle simultaneous ordering. You might see a shared order history, but you can both check out with separate items at the same time, especially if you use different payment methods you've both saved to the shared account's 'Wallet.'
Can my husband use his own email and password with my membership?
Not unless you can officially add him as a member (see the first FAQ). If you're using the workaround, he has to log in using your primary account email and password because the membership is tied to that specific login.
Will using the same account affect my delivery preferences or payment information?
It can! Since you are sharing one account, if one of you changes the default delivery address or payment method, it affects the entire account. Just be sure to always double-check the delivery address and select the correct payment card at checkout to avoid a major shipping mishap!
