Im already trying to map out my spending for late next year since we're finally finishing our basement in Seattle around then and I really need to snag a high-end OLED for the wall. Budget is around 1500 so every discount helps. I did some digging and saw some people on Reddit saying Walmart might change how their plus early access works for 2026. Some posts say theyll keep the 7-hour window but I also saw a rumor suggesting they might move to a full 24-hour jump start to compete with Prime. Its confusing because the fine print is super vague about future seasons. Does anyone know if they actually confirmed early access for the 2026 online members yet?
I haven't seen a 2026 confirmation yet. Last year I compared Walmart Plus Membership to waiting, and Plus was way safer for securing my LG C3 OLED 65 inch before stock ran out.
Thinking about your basement project... super exciting! I had a massive win last year because I stayed wired in. Honestly, using a hardwired connection instead of Wi-Fi was a total game changer for me! The speeds were amazing and I didnt drop out once during the rush. I totally get the nerves about the timing tho. If they actually go to 24 hours it would be fantastic for peace of mind!
