Walmart’s 2021 “Black Friday Deals for Days” sale ran as three November events, not a single Black Friday weekend. Its advertised iPhone 13 offer was a carrier-activation promotion with Walmart eGift cards—not an unconditional phone price cut—and the PS5 was listed at $499 online-only, with the Digital Edition at $399. These are historical advertised offers; the sale has ended.
How Walmart’s 2021 Black Friday sale was scheduled
Walmart described “Black Friday Deals for Days” as its second annual event. The company announced three events through November, with online launches ahead of the in-store start. Its October 18 announcement, updated with an editor’s note on November 15, set out this schedule:
| Event | Online start | In-store start | Walmart+ early access |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | November 3, 2021, 7 p.m. ET | November 5, 2021, 5 a.m. local time | November 3, 3–6 p.m. ET |
| 2 | November 10, 2021, 7 p.m. ET | November 12, 2021, 5 a.m. local time | November 10, 3–6 p.m. ET |
| 3 | November 22, 2021, 7 p.m. ET | November 26, 2021, 5 a.m. local time | Four hours before the scheduled online launch; the November 15 update did not specify a separate clock-time window |
Walmart said paying Walmart+ members could shop online four hours before the scheduled online launch. The company’s announcement gives 3–6 p.m. ET as the early-access window for events 1 and 2, ahead of each 7 p.m. launch. The announcement does not give a separate clock-time example for event 3.
What the iPhone 13 deal actually offered
BGR’s November 24, 2021 account of Walmart’s ad reported a $300 Walmart eGift card with AT&T or Verizon activation on each of these models: iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. It also reported a possible second Walmart eGift card worth up to $250 with a qualifying trade-in. The listed offer dates were November 22–26, 2021.

- What it was not: This was a gift-card promotion tied to activation, with a possible trade-in incentive—not a straight $300 reduction in the iPhone’s price.
PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition prices
BGR listed the standard PlayStation 5 at $499 and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition at $399. Both were advertised online-only, starting November 22, 2021. The article also reported that PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles were sold out everywhere at the time of its November 24 coverage. That is a contemporaneous stock warning, not a guarantee that a console could be obtained during the offer.
| Console | Advertised price | Channel and start |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | $499 | Online-only, starting November 22, 2021 |
| PlayStation 5 Digital Edition | $399 | Online-only, starting November 22, 2021 |

The available 36-page circular identifies the “Black Friday Deals for Days” advertisement and says the ad may vary by region; an applicable regional circular may apply instead. Its searchable text does not establish the detailed product listings, so the item examples above are attributed to Walmart’s announcement or BGR’s contemporary report, not to the circular.
