Over time, some of the components of Walmart Cash will expand to all customers, while additional ways to get Walmart Cash will remain exclusive to members, like Walmart+ Travel.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about how to become a Walmart+ member, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/plus<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;For example, if the package consisted of a hotel + flight, the Walmart Cash&nbsp;received&nbsp;would be 5% Walmart Cash on the hotel element and 2% Walmart Cash on the flight element.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning today, Walmart+ members can book getaways through WalmartPlusTravel.com and get Walmart Cash.
