July 12-23 will likely be reruns of the Season 38 Secret Santa weeks, with new SPIN IDs, because the official rules for the Christmas in July Secret Santa sweepstakes say that it will take place during the weeks of July 12 and 19. www.wheeloffortune.com/summer-secret-santa-rules
Added the July Secret Santa reruns even though they're not officially listed yet.
Also added a column denoting any rerunning episodes that were pre-empted in significant areas during their original airings. "M: CBS-E", for example, would mean that Monday's episode was originally pre-empted on at least some East Coast CBS affiliates.
July 26-30: California Coast (Apr. 19-23). Yet another one-win week. Only five Bonus Round wins total for the month of July; six or seven if you count Saturdays. Also another $100K loss. Where are all the wins?

Most likely they chose to rerun Fabulous Food and Shopping Spree before the Secret Santa replays so they can keep the promos for Secret Santa in those weeks, and then of course it's Secret Santa the two weeks following. But yeah, they could've selected a better week for the last week of July reruns.
Wheel will be pre-empted on nearly all NBC stations on 7/23, the last night of Summer Secret Santa, due to the primetime coverage of the opening ceremonies, which will start at 7:30 Eastern. I'm sure many 7:00 airings will be replaced with Jeopardy! as well since they're still doing new episodes and will likely have their highest ratings the following Monday. This plus more pre-emptions from NBA Finals and the MLB All-Star Game, combined with all the confusion from the casuals in the Facebook group about whether the SPIN ID's will be new since the TV listings still list them as reruns, I doubt more than 20% of the SPIN ID winnings get claimed. I know July is a sweeps month, but it's clear somebody at Sony doesn't pay attention to what weeks have the most pre-emptions, and Wheel and affiliates will just say, "Go to the website and click the button that tells you if your SPIN ID won."
With this, it is no longer possible for all six grand prize wins to get summer reruns. Home Sweet Home week is usually towards the end of the hiatus, but hopefully they remember to put all the $100K wins in next season's Saturday rotation if their weeks don't get picked in August or September.
It was pretty much a given they would rerun Home Sweet Home week since the house was won. I assume they won't be doing the home viewer giveaway again and the plugs will be edited out.
As with the S37 Saturday reruns, any episodes that originally aired with the CBS Television Distribution logo have it replaced with the CBS Media Ventures. Interestingly, Wheel is the only CBSTVD/MV show that is doing this with reruns. Judge Judy, J! (both Daytime J! and J! Weekend), and The Drew Barrymore Show reruns all still have the CBSTVD logo, despite those shows having multiple daily runs and Wheel only having one.
The promos that aired this week, and presumably next, make no mention of Secret Santa. Instead, they are they generic "play-at-home Toss-Up puzzle" promos with summer-themed puzzles. The one for Friday had a faked puzzle; they didn't even bother to center it right.
