Walmart now offers Peacock Premium as a Walmart+ benefit, making it possible for Walmart+ members to stream the Peacock library at no additional cost. Walmart+ members will need to manually redeem and activate their complimentary Peacock Premium subscription before gaining access to the streaming service.
Key Takeaways
- Walmart+ members can now stream Peacock Premium for free, but must manually activate the benefit via the Walmart+ Benefits Hub.
- While members must choose between Peacock Premium and Paramount+ Essential, they also have the option to switch service every 90 days.
- With Walmart+ costing $98/yr, it can be a more cost-effective way to access Peacock Premium (normally $10.99/mo).
While Peacock Premium is now available at no additional cost, Walmart+ members will need to decide whether they want free access to Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential.
Although Walmart offers access to both streaming services at no additional cost, Walmart+ members can only redeem one streaming service at a time. However, members do also have the option of switching between the streaming services every 90 days.
Following July’s price increase, the addition of Peacock Premium means Walmart+ members can save on a subscription worth $10.99 a month. This compares to the $7.99/mo cost of a Paramount+ Essential subscription.
When also considering Walmart+ costs $98 a year, signing up to the membership program to access Peacock Premium is technically cheaper than paying the $10.99/mo or $109.99/yr cost of signing up to Peacock directly.
Walmart+ members interested in getting started with Peacock Premium can enroll and activate their subscription by selecting Get Peacock in the Walmart+ Benefits Hub.
For reference, Peacock Premium is an ad-supported subscription. Walmart+ members interested in streaming without ads can upgrade their free subscription to Premium Plus by agreeing to pay an additional $5.49/month or $64.99/year.
Although this is an additional cost each month, it is significantly lower than the usual $16.99/mo or $169.99/yr Peacock charges for its Premium Plus plan.
