As an added bonus, those who sign up by November 12, 2026, will also receive a $30 gift card, which they can use on whatever they please for 30 days after they sign up. To be eligible to receive this gift card, all you have to do is make a $50 purchase at REI and buy your membership in the same order. This means your $30 one-time membership fee is basically free once you take advantage of the gift card.
Trade in used gear through Re/Supply, get REI gift cards
Give your gear and clothing a second life when you trade in gently used products to REI’s Re/Supply platform—and receive a gift card for eligible items. Simply fill out the trade-in form to get an estimate on your product’s eligibility and credit value. Then drop your products off at your nearest REI store. Once your trade-in is complete and your product has been evaluated, you’ll receive an email with an REI e-gift card that you’ll be able to use to purchase more of your favorite gear.
Your used products will head to REI’s Re/Supply shop. Not only is this a great way to keep textiles and other items out of landfills, but you’ll get money back to spend on something else. These gently used secondhand products are shoppable as well, and at great discounts, so if you’re open to taking home a pre-loved item rather than springing for a new piece, expect to find some excellent savings. The brand is closing its online version of the shop, but customers can still purchase gently used items in its brick-and-mortar stores.
Earn 15% in rewards and a $100 gift card with an REI credit card
One final way to keep to your budget and still get some great deals is by signing up for the REI credit card. Customers who open an REI Co-op Mastercard get a total of 15% in REI rewards (5% card rewards on all REI purchases and 10% Co-op member rewards). Cardholders also earn 1.5% in rewards on all other purchases when not shopping at REI. As a bonus, there is no annual fee, and the rewards no longer expire.
REI credit cards are only available to members, so you’ll have to complete the one-time sign-up and $30 membership fee, but once you do so, you’ll be able to sign in online and validate your Co-op membership to join and start racking up rewards. All rewards are ready to be redeemed online and in stores at REI as soon as they pop up in your account. As a bonus, customers can expect a $100 REI gift card after their very first purchase outside of REI, but use it quickly, as the gift card expires 60 days after your account is opened.
How to fix an REI coupon that’s not working
If your REI coupon isn’t working, there are a few things you can do before deeming it a lost cause. First, check to ensure that you’ve typed in the coupon code correctly. Capital letters, accidental spaces, and numbers that look like letters can sometimes be the culprit. If everything looks in order, take a glance at the coupon code’s terms and conditions. Has the code already expired? Perhaps you haven’t reached the minimum spend threshold or are trying to use it on a product that is excluded from the promotion. If that doesn’t seem to be the issue, consider restarting your browser, switching to a different device, or clearing your cookies and cache to rule out any personal hardware or software issues. If all else fails, reach out to REI’s help center for more personalized help.
