My summary of 3 different stores;
qty 3 - order cancelled
qty 3 - all manufactured 2018
qty 1 - manufactured 2017
Still haven't tried repurchase, return strategy yet.
I personally did this with the one from the target deal back in 2019. I got the last two on shelves and google replace it after troubleshooting it.
You can check the serial number, char 9 and 10 are the manufactured year. I've confirmed this on all 4 old packaging units and thats the way to tell.
As far as the new packaging units go, looks like that is NOT the case. Perhaps its Char 11 and 12, but both my new packaging units have 222000 in the middle, so hard to tell if the 11th and 12th are actually the year or not.

The TLDR version is, it worked for me for 1 unit.
Looking at the app while I was in store, it showed no availability at that particular location. I asked a clerk, and he found 2 Protects in the newer box. The serial numbers indicated they were exactly 1 year old.
Since my prior purchases were for a quantity of 1 and a quantity of 3, I figured I needed to purchase those same quantities, so I only bought 1 of the 2. As I walked out the store, the doorman marked my receipt.
I went to my car, grabbed the old single unit I had previously purchased, and walked back in. The doorman stopped me, and I stated that it wasn't the one I wanted and I needed to return it. He put a sticker on the item and directed me to customer service.
The gal scanned my receipt and both the UPC and serial number. There was a couple minutes of silence, and I suspect she was struggling with the serial number mismatch, but she never mentioned it to me. She accepted the old unit and gave a full refund of the $119 purchase price.
I tend to think it's a crapshoot if someone can return an old unit that doesn't match the receipt. Maybe a 50/50 chance. I dress nicer, so probably have better odds than someone that looks like a tweaker.
Haven't decided if I'm driving 40 minutes to another store to try my luck on the remaining 3 units. We've already gone way past the time wasting vs cost saving threshold to solid Sunk Cost Fallacy territory. It's also entertaining to me to some degree, so I justify the time waste by learning how to navigate the Walmart system.

1 was delivered directly from my local Walmart (even though it shows no stock) and was from 2018.
3 were delivered via FedEx. 2 were from 2022, and 1 was from 2015. I think I'm just going to return all of them at this point since I needed 5 in the first place but could only order 4 before they sold out.
