Walmart+ Offers $1 30-Day Trial With Peacock or Paramount+

$1 now buys a 30-day Walmart+ trial that includes a choice of Peacock or Paramount+, plus grocery and pharmacy delivery, shipping perks and fuel discounts.
Walmart is using the bundle to lure new subscribers as streaming prices rise and consumers hesitate to commit to full-price monthly or annual plans.
After the trial, Walmart+ renews at $12.99 a month or $98 a year; students and government-assistance recipients may qualify for a 50% discount to $49 annually.
The annual Walmart+ price undercuts Peacock Premium's $110 yearly plan and sits near Paramount+ Essential at $90, while adding retail benefits beyond streaming.
Can Walmart's cheaper, grocery-focused subscription truly challenge Amazon Prime's dominance in the all-in-one membership market?
Is Walmart's $98 bundle with free streaming the final nail in the coffin for standalone subscription services?
Are we losing choice as retail giants bundle everything from groceries to streaming into one mandatory fee?
