Amazon plans its annual Prime Day sale, which will happen in just a few weeks – July 11-12. It will also have some company from Walmart.
Walmart is joining the summer sales events with Walmart+ Week, running from July 10-13. Walmart+ members will get early access to sales, starting at 12:00 p.m. ET on July 10, and all customers will be able to shop from 12:00 p.m. ET on July 11, through 7:00 p.m. ET on July 13.
“We’re thrilled to offer our Walmart+ members the chance to get summer’s hottest deals first, with 24-hour exclusive access to shop Walmart+ Week before it opens to all customers,” Venessa Yates, general manager of Walmart+ told ConsumerAffairs. “Events like these allow us to celebrate our members in a fun way, while they enjoy benefits that add to real savings, not just for a week, but all year long through free delivery and shipping, content streaming, gas discounts, plus so much more.”

Amazon vs. Walmart…again
This isn’t the first time Amazon and Walmart have gone head-to-head for their members’ sales events.
In October 2022, Amazon hosted a second Prime Day event from October 11-12, and Walmart hosted a Rollback and More sale from October 10-13. Within a few months, the retailers are at it again with similar sales.
Walmart will offer free shipping on all orders over $35, and the company has yet to announce if it will be doing same-day delivery for Walmart+ members. Additionally, Walmart has said it will not be price matching Amazon prices for any items listed during Prime Day or Walmart+ Week.
