It is a truth universally acknowledged: YouTube ads are terrible. They interrupt your viewing experience far too often, and it’s even annoying having to press the skip button when it appears. You can get rid of the ads with a YouTube Premium subscription, but that costs money. Here’s a fun tip: if you have a Walmart+ subscription, right now, for a limited time, you can activate a free 3-month trial of YouTube Premium.
Better yet, if you’ve never subscribed to Walmart+, you can start a free 30-day Walmart+ trial and still get the YouTube Premium benefit for free. That’s a win-win.
Start a 30-Day Free Trial of Walmart+
Once you're signe up, all you have to do is head do the Walmart+ offer page to activate the YouTube Premium free trial, and you have three months of glorious ad-free YouTube viewing. It also gives you ad-free access to YouTube Music. It’s a lot of good stuff, and it lasts for three whole months, which is pretty generous.
Should you choose to continue with the Walmart+ membership after the free trial expires, it costs $12.95 per month or $98 per year. That’s significantly less than Amazon Prime, and if you regularly shop at Walmart it's a pretty good deal, especially considering the many benefits.
Walmart+ Benefits
In addition to the YouTube Premium offer, Walmart+ has plenty of other benefits. You get free delivery from your local store, free shipping with no minimum order, a free subscription to Paramount+ (which rules, by the way), and more.
In addition to those benefits that are always available, you also get access to a bunch of limited-time offers. One of them is the YouTube Premium free trial mentioned above. Other ones include 2 free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, 5 months of Apple Music, 4 months of Apple Fitness+, 4 months of Calm Premium, and more. It’s a lot. And you get access to all of the offers even with the Walmart+ 30-day free trial. If you’ve never done the trial, there’s no reason not to. For more info, check out our Walmart+ explainer.
