REI Member Week Is Here: My Favorite Deals (March 13–23)
If you spend any time hiking, backpacking, camping, or traveling outdoors, REI Member Week is one of the best times of the year to buy gear.
But first — if you’re not an REI member yet, this is actually the best time to join.
It’s a one-time $30 membership, and members get:
• Annual Member Rewards on eligible purchases
• Exclusive coupons and sales like the one happening right now
• Access to member-only gear deals and events
My rewards alone usually pay for the membership every year.
REI’s Member Week is happening right now, March 13–23, and members can:
• Save 20% on one full-price item
• Save an extra 20% on one REI Outlet item
• Use code MEMBER26
And if you’re a member, you may have already received your annual Member Reward.
I just opened mine, and this year it’s over $200.
Not complaining. 😅
I’ve been eyeing a pair of La Sportiva boots for my Dolomites trip later this year, so between my reward and the 20% member coupon, that’s probably how I’m treating myself this year.
If you’re not an REI member yet, I highly recommend joining.
The rewards alone usually pay for the membership.
