For other brands, our guide on how to check any gift card balance covers the steps for every major retailer.
Stacking with REI membership
REI members (one-time $30 lifetime fee) earn an annual dividend of about 10% back on eligible full-price purchases. You earn this dividend even when paying with gift cards. So you're getting a discount on the payment plus earning 10% back. That's a strong combined savings rate.
REI's member-only sales (Anniversary Sale, seasonal sales) offer 20-30% off. Your discounted gift card stacks with those sale prices too.
Why outdoor gear at a discount matters
Outdoor gear tends to be expensive. A good tent, sleeping bag, or pair of hiking boots runs $200-500. Bikes can be $1,000-5,000. Check the current discount above. The gift card discount makes a real difference on these purchases.
REI's return policy
REI has one of the best return policies in retail. Members get a one-year return window on most items. Refunds on gift card purchases are issued as REI store credit. Bikes, electronics, and outdoor electronics have a 90-day window.
Common questions
Do REI gift cards work on bikes?
Yes. Works on all products REI sells.
Do they expire?
No. No expiration, no fees. See our guide on whether gift cards expire.
Do I still earn my REI member dividend?
Yes. Dividends are earned on the full purchase amount regardless of payment method.
Can I use multiple gift cards?
Yes. No limit per transaction.
Do they work during REI sales?
Yes. Gift cards stack with all sale pricing and member deals.
Can I get cash back for a REI gift card balance?
Usually gift cards are not redeemable for cash, but some states require it for small leftover balances. California, for example, requires retailers to cash out gift card balances under $10, and several other states have similar rules with different thresholds. Check your state law for the exact amount.
REI promo codes and coupons
Searching for REI promo codes? Codes are hit or miss, expire quickly, and often exclude what you actually want. A discounted REI gift card works differently: it gives you a guaranteed discount on every purchase, stacks on top of any sale or coupon you do find, and never expires. Check the current discount above, then apply the card at checkout.
