Major Sale Event & Early Access Watch

Why this is recommended

Knowing that the event starts Tuesday with member early access on Monday, that the price was lower in March, or that the Anniversary Sale preview opens by card tier turns a $500 purchase into a $350 one, several times a year.

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Confirmed dates and early-access windows for Prime Day, Big Deal Days, Target Circle Week, Walmart Deals, Way Day, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the Sephora and Ulta events, REI, Best Buy and Costco events, Black Friday ad releases and price-match rules, invite-only deal programs, early-access eligibility and membership requirements, price-history warnings on inflated event prices and event outages, with the retailer first and the dates in the title.

Track major retail sale events in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: confirmed dates, early-access windows and eligibility rules for Amazon Prime Day and Big Deal Days, Target Circle Week, Walmart Deals, Wayfair Way Day, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the Sephora Savings Event, Ulta 21 Days of Beauty, the REI Anniversary and Member Sale, Best Buy Member Deals, Costco Member Savings, Home Depot and Lowe's holiday events and other events at top-25 retailers; Black Friday and Cyber Monday ad releases, price-match and price-protection rules; invite-only and lightning deal program changes; price-history analyses from Camelcamelcamel, Keepa, Honey and established reporting that show event prices above prior lows; and event outages, order cancellations and delivery issues. Prefer retailer announcements, event pages, price-history tools and established retail reporting; ignore leaked-ad sites without confirmation and affiliate roundups. Put the retailer first in the title with the dates and the access rule. Use high severity for an event starting within 7 days, an early-access window opening within 48 hours, or a price-match rule change. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the dates, who gets in early, what to check, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
