Walmart doesn’t have a teacher discount. The best way to save there is cash back: Fluz gives 2.5% back when you buy a Walmart gift card through it, and TopCashback lists up to 8% back on Walmart.com orders, depending on what you buy.
Walmart does have a year-round tool for classroom shopping, a Classroom Registry on Walmart.com and in the Walmart app where you can plan, shop and share your classroom wish list. Parents and relatives can buy straight from it, which helps if you’re stocking a room on your own dime.
How To Get The Walmart Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to verify and no code to enter. Here’s how to get 2.5% back with Fluz instead, which works at the register and online:
- Create a free Fluz account.
- Find Walmart in the Fluz app and buy a digital Walmart gift card for the amount you plan to spend.
- Pay with that gift card in a Walmart store or on Walmart.com, and Fluz gives you 2.5% of the card’s value back.
You can use up to 5 gift cards on one order. Check the rate on Fluz before you buy, since it changes.
Other Ways To Save At Walmart
- TopCashback, up to 8% back. TopCashback lists up to 8% back on Walmart.com orders. The rate depends on the category, so look at the number for what you’re buying before you click through.
- Rakuten, no cash back. Rakuten doesn’t pay cash back at Walmart, so skip it for this store.
- Teacher gifts from $2.48. Walmart sells a collection of teacher gifts starting as low as $2.48. It’s for families and students shopping for a teacher, so it won’t lower your own classroom costs, but it’s a good link to send to a parent who asks what you need.
Pick one cash back route per order.
The Teacher Event That Ended
Walmart ran a teacher-exclusive savings event once, and it’s the reason older articles say Walmart gives teachers 10% off. During one Teacher Appreciation Week, teachers who shopped in Walmart stores could register their receipts and get a Walmart eGift Card for 10% back on nearly 15,000 products. It lasted one week and it ended, so there’s no 10% back to claim with a school ID or a pay stub now.
