Dafuq is a Walmart+
Is that like a Walmart but with extra weirdos from your local community?
I have a Walmart+ subscription, literally the only thing I’m subscribed to (beyond utilities or whatever).
Why?
I’m disabled, live off of only disability, my car got stolen.
Walmart accepts SNAP, and a + subscription gets you free, same day deliveries from your local store, as well as free 3 day shipping for something they retail but don’t have in stock at the moment at your local store.
Very, very useful for groceries when you have no means to get to a grocery store.
A subscription costs a bit less than $15 bucks a month, and deliveries cost $10 bucks minimum each time otherwise.
… Had I a car, I’d hobble to food banks. But I don’t, and am basically immobile, and still require food to not die.
…
You know all those meal kit delivery plans you see everyone advertising on their youtube videos?
Yeah, none of them (that I’m aware of) accept SNAP, even though they easily could, as they’re not sending you hot food.
Walmart+ is to Walmart as Amazon Prime is to Amazon.
That isn’t so stupid. The Marketing Dept. only has a Budget so big, and when that runs out they can no longer offer the Promotions.
Not to ruin the absurdity of it, but sometimes they have “until supplies last” on digital promotions because they have a limit on the total number of redemptions.
I think I’m a bit slow today, can I have an ELI5?
Edit: I don’t understand the downvote, I’m genuine about not understanding the thing about redemptions.
In a case like this, I would assume it is a budgetary thing - if your marketing campaign is budgeted at $100k, you wouldn’t want to give away a million dollars of free goods.
I’m so dense… who redeems on what?
Is it like “we didn’t meet the customers needed so we are ending this”? (If so they would need to refund the proprtional part of the 6 months that were not met or something, but I don’t know it this goes into the redemptions being talked about.)
The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the “cost” of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign… Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.
The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There’s no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.
Ugh, thanks, I focused too much on the title of the post and was trying too hard to apply the “supplies” in relation to the individual streamed contents, But it is more like the available spots for clients that can get the promotion.
You ruined the absurdity of it
One is zero is?
