Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart has announced the Walmart+ Weekend, an online savings event exclusively for Walmart+ members that stretches over three days online from June 2-5.
Walmart+ members will have access to large discounts on thousands of summer items, from a Shark vacuum, a Minnie Mouse playhouse to a Samsung Galaxy S7. Members will also have the opportunity to grab items like PlayStation 5 consoles, Pit Boss Pellet Grills and Gateway Laptops. On top of the deals, customers who sign up in store during Walmart+ Weekend and become a paid 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,” said Chris Cracchiolo, SVP and general manager. “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.”
To help spread the news about Walmart+ Weekend, the retailer is taking a new approach with its deals. The company will be sharing videos from celebrity comedians to share “what’s the deal” featuring the biggest deals of the event. Jim Gaffigan, Ken Jeong, Franco Escamilla and Iliza Schlesinger will be sharing their hot takes on the deals via social media.
Once members fill up their shopping carts online, their total shipping cost is zero and will continue after the event. Online shipping is free for Walmart+ members, no matter the order size.
At the end of April, the company increased its fuel discount, giving members up to 10 cents off each gallon they pump at more than 14,000 stations nationwide. Walmart+ membership also provides unlimited free grocery deliveries from stores as well as Scan & Go capabilities for a quick and contactless checkout experience in stores.
