REI Co-op Deals & Sales FAQ
What is REI Co-op's biggest annual sale?
The Anniversary Sale in mid-to-late May is the largest event on REI's calendar. It's the retailer's own pick for biggest sale of the year, with deep price cuts on tents, sleeping pads, backpacks, cycling gear, and trail apparel.
Does REI run an in-store Black Friday sale?
No. Under its permanent #OptOutside tradition, REI closes all physical storefronts, warehouses, and corporate offices on Black Friday. Staff get a paid day outdoors. You can still submit orders online, though warehouse fulfillment pauses until the following day.
How does the 14-day price adjustment policy work?
If an item you bought at full price drops in price within 14 days of purchase, REI refunds the difference upon request. The item needs to match the same product, color, and size. REI Outlet items priced with a $0.73 ending don't qualify for this adjustment.
Do you need a paid membership to shop REI sales?
Anyone can browse and buy from general clearance, REI Outlet, and major seasonal promotions. A one-time $30 membership unlocks dedicated perks like Member Days specials, trade-in credit access, and early product releases.
Do discounted and clearance items earn Co-op Member Rewards?
No. The annual reward (formerly known as the member dividend) applies only to eligible full-price merchandise. Items bought on sale, clearance, or through REI Outlet don't earn the typical 10% reward, and that rate isn't guaranteed even on qualifying purchases.
What is REI Outlet and how is it different from regular sales?
REI Outlet is a continuous online storefront dedicated to overstock, closeouts, and discontinued previous-season goods. Regular sales feature current-season gear for a limited date range. Outlet runs year-round with permanent price drops on brand-new items.
Can international shoppers purchase gear during REI sales?
Yes, REI ships internationally to many countries via postal and courier carriers with a $60 flat shipping charge. Select brands enforce export boundaries that block overseas dispatch. Check product eligibility before placing your order.
What is Re/Supply and how does it save you money?
Re/Supply is REI's marketplace for pre-owned outdoor gear and apparel. Members trade in used equipment for store credit, while buyers can find inspected jackets, backpacks, and camping essentials at steep markdowns.
How can you get free shipping on discounted orders?
All US shoppers get free standard shipping on orders of $60 or more, and sale items count toward this total. REI Co-op members enjoy free standard US shipping with no minimum spend required. In-store and curbside pickup at any local store stay free for everyone.
Does REI offer bundle discounts on gear purchases?
Yes. REI maintains everyday volume savings on practical categories outside scheduled sales. Buying three or more pairs of full-price socks together, or picking qualifying camp-sleep bundles, unlocks extra savings. Accessory bundles also apply when outfitting a new Co-op Cycles bike.
