Walmart have announced the arrival of Walmart+ Weekend, an online savings event exclusively for Walmart+ members that stretches over three days.
The sales event starts on Thursday, the 2nd of June with the deals ending on Sunday, the 5th of June. It’s hard not to compare this with Amazon Prime Day which we expect to be held in July, so Walmart with their earlier date are getting in first.
Like Prime Day, Walmart+ Weekend is a membership sales event, so you’ll have to join Walmart+to get access to the deepest discounts on thousands of the hottest summer items, from a Shark vacuum to a Minnie Mouse playhouse and Samsung Galaxy S7. On top of the deals, customers who sign up in a Walmart store during Walmart+ Weekend and become a paid Walmart+ member will get a $20 promo code off their next online purchase.
Our Walmart+ members loved early access to our Black Friday events, so we were inspired to create an entire weekend dedicated to the best deals. Giving members more of what they want with exclusive, unprecedented Black Friday-like savings allows us to celebrate our members in a fun, new way.
– Chris Cracchiolo, senior vice president and general manager, Walmart
