Walmart Will Compete Against Prime Day 2024 With Its “Largest Deals Event Ever”
Walmart has revealed the dates for its big, new summer sale event, Walmart Deals. It’s not the most creative name for a sale, but at least it’ll be easy to remember. This year’s Walmart Deals event will take place from Monday, July 8, through Thursday, July 11. Though Amazon hasn’t revealed this year’s dates for Prime Day, we know it’ll take place in July. Walmart is the first major retailer to announce a Prime Day 2024 competing sale, but it certainly won’t be the last.
While the sale will be accessible to all customers, Walmart+ members can access the discounts starting at 9 am PT/Noon ET. All non-members will gain access to the deals five hours later at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Normally, Walmart+ costs $13/month or $98/year, but new members can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Walmart+ and get early access to the Walmart Deals event without having to pay for a subscription. Members get free online shipping, free local delivery on orders of $35 or more, the ability to have your returned items picked up from your home, a Paramount+ streaming subscription, and other exclusive discounts.
Walmart Deals Preview (July 8-11)
Walmart is calling its upcoming sale “its largest deals event ever.” This likely alludes to the sheer number of planned deals, which is in the thousands, but the bold phrasing also suggests the retailer is making a big push to seriously compete with Amazon Prime Day, which has become the best-known sales event in the US outside of Black Friday.
