REI Coupons & Promo Codes
Sitewide promo codes for the general public are almost nonexistent at REI. The most significant and reliable coupons are reserved for REI Co-op members, most famously the '20% off one full-price item' coupon that is released a few times per year. Savings for non-members are primarily found in the REI Outlet section. The real value lies in the Co-op membership dividend, member-only sales, and the Re/Supply used gear program, not in hunting for checkout codes.

REI discounts that work every day
Codes come and go. These are the standing programmes that are available whether or not a code is live, and for most shoppers they are worth more than a one-off code.
| Offer | Typical value | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| REI Co-op Membership | Typically 10% back annually on eligible purchases | Pay a one-time fee (currently $30) for a lifetime membership. The Co-op Member Reward (or dividend) is issued each March based on the prior year's full-price spending.The reward is issued as a store credit, not cash, and expires if not used. It does not accrue on sale items, gift cards, or REI Adventures trips. |
| Member-Exclusive Coupons | Typically 20% off one full-price item and one REI Outlet item | These coupons are automatically available to members during major sale events like the Anniversary Sale. They appear in your account and can be applied at checkout.These coupons have significant brand exclusions (e.g., Hoka, Yeti, most bikes and skis) that are listed in the fine print. The coupon is single-use per event. |
| REI Outlet | Commonly 30-70% off | The REI Outlet is a dedicated section on the REI website for new, past-season, overstocked, and end-of-line products at a discount. It is open to all shoppers.Sizes and colors are often limited. These items do not contribute to your annual member dividend. |
| Re/Supply Used Gear | Trade in for gift cards; buy used for significant discounts | Co-op members can trade in gently used gear in exchange for an REI gift card. Anyone can shop the Re/Supply section in-store or online for this used gear at a lower price.Trade-in values vary widely based on item condition and demand. The selection of used gear online and in-store is unpredictable. |
How to actually save at REI
REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.) is a member-owned co-op and a leading US retailer for outdoor gear, apparel, and footwear. Its approach to savings is fundamentally different from most stores. Instead of a constant stream of promo codes, REI's value is centered on its lifetime membership program, which provides an annual dividend, exclusive access to sales, and special coupons.
- Become an REI Co-op member. The one-time fee is easily recouped through the annual dividend and access to the exclusive 20% off coupons, which are the best single discount REI offers.
- Wait for a major member sale (like the Anniversary Sale in May) to make a big purchase. Use the member-exclusive 20% off coupon on a high-ticket, full-price item that is not excluded.
- Always check the REI Outlet before buying full price. It is the best source for year-round deals on new gear if you are not picky about having the very latest model or color.
- Shop the Re/Supply used gear section for staples like tents, packs, and jackets. The savings on gently used, high-end brands can be far greater than any sale discount.
- Stack your rewards by using your annual dividend to pay for items during a member sale. You can pay with a dividend credit and still apply a 20% off coupon to an eligible item in the same transaction.
When REI actually discounts
Timing beats codes at most retailers. This is REI’s real markdown pattern.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Anniversary Sale (May) | REI's biggest sale of the year. Features deep discounts across categories and a member-exclusive 20% off coupon for one full-price and one Outlet item. |
| Member Reward Issued (March) | Not a sale, but when members receive their annual dividend (typically 10% back on prior year spending). Often accompanied by a member coupon to encourage spending the new dividend. |
| Gear Up Get Out Sale (November) | REI's major pre-winter and holiday sale event. Focuses on cold-weather apparel, ski gear, and giftable items, and usually includes a member coupon. |
| Labor Day Sale (late August/early September) | A significant end-of-season clearance event for summer gear like tents, sleeping bags, and summer apparel. Discounts can be substantial. |
REI coupon questions
- Is the REI Co-op membership worth it?
- For anyone who spends over $300 a year at REI, absolutely. The one-time $30 fee is quickly earned back via the 10% annual dividend. The membership also grants access to the best coupons (20% off), special pricing on shop services, and the ability to trade in used gear.
- How does the REI dividend work?
- It's a Co-op Member Reward, not a direct discount. Each year, members get back roughly 10% of what they spent on eligible full-price items in the previous year. This reward is issued around March as a credit that can be spent at REI.
- Can you use REI coupons on anything?
- No. The popular 20% off member coupons have a long list of brand exclusions. High-demand brands like Hoka, On Running, Yeti, and many bike brands are almost always excluded. Always check the coupon's fine print before planning a purchase.
- What is the difference between REI Outlet and Re/Supply?
- REI Outlet sells new items that are discounted because they are from a past season or overstocked. Re/Supply is REI's used gear program where you can buy and (if you are a member) trade in gently used equipment.
- When is the best time to buy from REI?
- The Anniversary Sale in May is the single best event, offering the widest range of discounts plus a valuable member coupon. The seasonal sales in September (Labor Day) and November (Gear Up Get Out) are also excellent times for category-specific deals.

How we check REI codes
Most of the money at REI sits in loyalty mechanics rather than in a checkout code, so this page is built around verifying those against rei.com’s own published terms and treats codes as the smaller half of the story. Any code we do list came from a page we can point at, and carries the date we last saw it.
When a shopper reports a code worked or failed at checkout, that vote is recorded and moves the code up or down this page. We publish the failures next to the successes, because a page showing only wins is not telling you the truth about coupon codes, most of which do not work. Codes that keep failing come down rather than stay up collecting clicks. Need something more current? Run a live search for REI.
