When is Walmart+ Week 2024? Here's all you need to know about the big summer savings event
We've got big plans this summer and it has nothing to do with our vacation. Each year, retailers kick off summer with super savings events and this year, the fun is starting even earlier than last year. Walmart announced its annual Walmart+ Week will last a full seven days, running from Monday, June 17 through Sunday, June 23. It will give Walmart+ members deals on name brands, free delivery, and discounts on gas, travel, and more. The earlier-than-usual sale places Walmart's event weeks ahead of other retail giants. Yes, we are talking about Amazon's Prime Day event. While we don't know the dates just yet, we can expect that major event sometime in July. As a departure from previous years, the two mega-sale events won't overlap. That's why we're saying, we've got big summer plans.
The major catch for this event is that you need to be a Walmart+ member in order to reap all the benefits. You can benefit from an annual membership all year long, but it will be the only way to take full advantage of Walmart+ Week 2024.
