Amazon Prime Day is just days away (July 11 and 12), and Walmart aims to steal the online retail giant's thunder with an incredible deal on its rival membership, Walmart Plus

Starting today at noon EST, you can score a rare 50% discount on an annual Walmart Plus membership, bringing the price down from $98 to just $45. This is the biggest discount we've seen on a Walmart Plus membership – and at just $45 a year, it's a whopping $94 less than Amazon Prime. 

Walmart is looking to entice customers to sign up for Walmart Plus ahead of its massive Wamart Plus Week sale, which takes place next week on July 11-13, with early access for Walmart Plus members a day earlier on July 10.
