How to Save on Gas and Get Free Peacock or Paramount+ in the Process

As gas prices skyrocket, we’re always looking for ways to save. Thankfully, we know a workaround that can help you save at the pump and cut your streaming bill in the process.

In the end, it’ll cost you $6.08 a month and that gets you discounted gas and a free streaming service!

Here’s how it works.

A service called Walmart+ gives you a 10¢ discount per gallon at 13,000+ gas stations from Walmart, Exxon, Mobil, and Murphy. You’ll also get the same price as members at Sam’s Club, even if you don’t have a Sam’s Club membership.

Walmart+ has several savings perks, but you also get free Peacock or Paramount+. You can switch your choice every 90 days.

While Walmart+ costs $98/year ($8.17/month), we know how to knock that price even lower! Just sign up for AARP – no, you don’t have to be retired. If you grab a membership through this link, you’ll get your first year for just $15. And that membership gives you $40 off a year of Walmart+!

Let’s break down the savings to see if this makes sense. (Spoiler: It does.)

If you’re not sure if you want Walmart+, you can give it a 30-day free trial. Just remember to get that AARP deal to lower the overall cost.

What Are the Benefits of AARP?

Although AARP is technically for retired people, there’s no rule against anyone joining. That $40 off Walmart+ is reason enough to join, but there’s more to love.

AARP also gives you cheap UPS shipping, discounts to Lenscrafters, Visionworks, and Target Optical, up to 35% off car rentals, and deals on airfare, hotels, and vacation packages. Grab movie tickets for 25% off. There are also discounts to Universal and Disney theme parks. You’d also get free movies with the AARP Streams app.

AARP gives you discounts to Papa John’s, Outback Steakhouse, TGI Friday’s, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Auntie Anne’s, Denny’s, and many more restaurants.

If you sign up for the AARP Essential Rewards credit card, you’ll get 3% cash back on gas, making those savings at the pump even higher.

There’s no reason to wait until you’re retired to start saving money.
