One must have been employed by Walmart for 90 consecutive days in order to be eligible for a Walmart Associate Discount Card. You and your domestic partner or spouse who is your legal spouse become eligible for a discount card on your 91st day of employment.
“You don’t need to enroll for a discount card. In-fact it will be purchased for you and your spouse and mailed to your Associate home address,” states the Walmart Associate Discount Card handbook.
What you need to know about your Walmart Associate Discount Card
When you use your Walmart Associate Discount Card at any Walmart store in the United States as a Walmart associate, you will receive a 10% discount on normally priced general products and fresh produce. On some items at Walmart.com, you can also enjoy the same discount.
Instead of a Walmart discount card, Sam’s Club field associates receive a free Sam’s Club membership. Sam’s Club employees, on the other hand, are eligible for a 10% discount on fresh produce at Sam’s Club using their membership card.
Who is Eligible of Walmart Discount Card?
You are eligible for an associate discount card on your 91st day of continuous employment as a newly recruited Walmart associate, along with your domestic partner or legal spouse.
A discount card is automatically ordered for you and your spouse and mailed to your spouse’s home address; you do not need to enroll for one.
Your personnel representative should have your current home postal address. It may take longer to receive your discount card if your address is incorrect.
If you have an eligible dependant, he or she may borrow your discount card and make purchases on his or her own. An eligible dependant is defined as (1) an unmarried kid aged 19 or under, or (2) an unmarried child aged 22 or younger who is enrolled full-time in college. Children who are reliant on you will not receive a discount card.
Changes in marital status
If you marry, you can obtain a card for your spouse via the WIRE’s Online Discount Card Application or WalmartOne.com. Your ex-spouse is no longer eligible for any discounts if you get divorced. Using the Online Discount Card Application, please cancel their card.
Spouse/domestic partner eligibility
A spouse of an associate is defined by the legislation of the state in which the associate resides and includes spouses of the same gender.
Domestic partners who fit the description of domestic partners on the discount card policy are eligible for a discount card. The Discount Card Online Application, which is available on the WIRE or at WalmartOne.com, must be used to request a discount card for your domestic partner.
Tax requirements
Discounts obtained by a domestic partner or civil union partner of an associate must be considered as taxable income to the associate under federal tax law. State and municipal legislation may have standards that are comparable. For further information, contact your tax advisor.
Some states require associate discounts to be recognized as taxable discounts, and your discount may be recorded as taxable income in those states. For further information, you should consult with your tax adviser.
How to Properly use your discount card
You are solely responsible for the appropriate use of your discount card, whether it is used by you, your spouse, or any of your legal dependents as stated above. Please keep in mind:
