Walmart isn’t taking this year’s Amazon Prime Day sale sitting down. The retailer has announced plans for this year’s Walmart Summer Deals promotion, which will kick off the day before Amazon’s big annual sale. Walmart held a major sale alongside last year’s Prime Day, too — it seems mega-retailers competing with Amazon have become as much of a tradition as Prime Day itself. Here is what you can expect from Walmart Summer Deals this year.
What is the Walmart Summer Deals Sale?
Walmart Summer Deals is Walmart’s answer to Amazon’s Prime Day. It is both an in-store and online sale, with deals to be had on most things that Walmart sells (save for groceries). Although the name might vary a bit from year to year, Walmart hosts a big sale every year, around the same time as Prime Day.
When Does the Walmart Summer Deals Sale Start?
The Walmart Summer Deals sale starts Monday, June 22, at 12 a.m. ET for Walmart+ members — a day before Prime Day begins at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23 — with an online-only, curated list of “high-demand Deal drop items” during the first 24 hours of the event. Essentially, this means Walmart+ members will get first dibs on these exclusive deals. The general sale will start on June 23 at 12 a.m. ET and run through June 28.
Do You Need to Be a Walmart+ Member to Shop?
You don’t need to be a Walmart+ member to shop the Walmart Summer Deals sale. But if you are a Walmart+ member, you’ll get early access to the sale beginning Monday, June 22, at 12 a.m. ET.
Typically you can sign up for a free 30-day Walmart+ trial or get the annual plan for $98 (or $12.95 per month); however, Walmart is currently offering its Walmart+ subscription for 50% off, bringing the total yearly cost to $49. Since it’s for a full year, you’ll also get to use it for early access to Black Friday and other major sales. There are plenty of other benefits, including free next-day or two-day shipping, free grocery delivery on orders over $35, your choice between Paramount+ and Peacock for a year, and more.
