Just ahead of Labor Day travel, Walmart+ is teaming up with about 12,000 Exxon and Mobil stations to double the gas benefit for members

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walmart+ is helping steer members toward some serious savings on fuel, just in time for the busy travel holiday weekend. The retailer is joining forces with Exxon Mobil to double the discount Walmart+ members currently receive at Exxon and Mobil stations nationwide, from 10 cents to 20 cents off every gallon of gas. The 2x discount will begin August 15 at about 12,000 participating stations and will continue to pump savings into members’ wallets through September 15.

“We know that fuel savings is a huge benefit for our Walmart+ members, one that really adds up,” said Venessa Yates, SVP and general manager of Walmart+. “As gas prices have fluctuated over the last few months, we wanted to do something special to give our members a break, whether they’re hitting the road for the holiday, or just getting back into the busy back-to-school shuttling season.”

Last year, Walmart+ expanded the footprint of its savings benefit sixfold with the addition of about 12,000 Exxon and Mobil stations nationwide. Since that time, Walmart+ members have benefitted from millions of dollars collectively in fuel savings alone.

“We are excited to continue to grow our collaboration with Walmart+ members by offering them 20 cents off per gallon at about 12,000 Exxon and Mobil stations across the country,” said Troy Simms, US Consumer Marketing Director Retail Fuels at ExxonMobil. “We understand the importance of helping families stay budget conscious, while still getting the opportunity to fill up with our Synergy™ fuel technology that not only helps improve fuel economy, but also protect car engines and enables better vehicle responsiveness.”

A trip to the pump is just one of the many ways Walmart+ is a pathway to savings. From unlimited free deliveries to their door, the recently launched Walmart+ Travel, which gives members Walmart Cash on vacation getaways, or Paramount+ at no extra cost, Walmart+ is consistently evolving to deliver what’s most important for members.
