Amazon Prime Day may be on the top of everyone’s minds now that the event is about a month away, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited about what other retailers are bringing to the deals table. The competition on deals from major retailers is stiffer than ever for summer savings events, and Walmart+ Week is about to heat things up even more. Walmart is teasing exclusive access to members-only items, along with a “mystery offer” that will be unveiled on June 20.
Ahead of the second annual sale, we’re priming you on all the perks and benefits of scoring a Walmart+ membership so you, too, can get in on all the great deals on everything from home goods to toys, tech and so much more.
When is Walmart+ Week?
All the savings start on June 17 at noon EST. That means that Walmart+ Week this year will be kicking off a bit earlier compared to previous events and also beats Amazon to the punch for a summer sale. Last year’s event brought some real doorbuster-caliber deals to the party, and we’re expecting to see much of the same for next week.
You’ll be able to shop the savings through June 23. Walmart+ members will get early access to all the deals next week, many of which may sell out ahead of opening up to the public.
What is Walmart+ Week?
Walmart+ Week looks to offer a little extra savings for those with a membership. It takes many of the existing perks you’ll already enjoy for being a subscriber and supercharges them, giving you double fuel savings and an extra 20% back in Walmart Cash on flights, hotels, car rentals and activities booked through the company’s travel portal. There’s also free express delivery and much more.
And then there’s deals. Deals are the biggest reason to pay attention to Walmart+ Week, as the retailer looks to offer deep clearance discounts, deals on new releases and so much more. Previous years have seen some pretty enticing offers go live, and with Prime Day still several weeks away, this will be setting the pace for the whole summer shopping season.
