REI Co-op members can now access their annual Co-op Member Reward and special discounts for March – including 20%-off promotion

SEATTLE, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialty outdoor retailer REI Co-op is marking the distribution of its annual member reward with additional ways for members to save and get outdoors. Active REI co-op members* can now find their Co-op Member Rewards for purchases made in 2022 reflected in their respective accounts, which is typically 10% back on last year's eligible full-price purchases**. REI Co-op Member Rewards are immediately redeemable for purchases made online, in-stores or via the app.

This year's Co-op Member Reward comes with deep deals for members. From March 17-27, members can score an additional 20% off on one full price item; and an extra 20% off on one REI Outlet item using coupon code "MEMBER23" at checkout. Additional offers, including exclusive collections and savings on REI adventure travel trips, will also be coming to members this month.

"We're excited to give back to and honor our members – a community of 21 million strong that's transforming the co-op and the outdoors, for the better," said Clay Walton-House, REI divisional vice president for membership. "For every member who joins the co-op, we donate $5 to REI's Cooperative Action Fund, which supports nonprofits and projects that protect, and expand equity in the outdoors."

REI is a different kind of company. Along with many attributes that make REI a special place, including being a member-owned co-op, and investing in nonprofits dedicated to the outdoors, the Co-op Member Reward is an annual benefit that gives profits back to the source. Last year, REI gave a total $234 million back to its members.

REI Co-op Mastercard holders can earn an additional 5% back in rewards. Members will receive a notice with their reward via mail or email. They can also check their account to view their award, which is redeemable now through Jan. 5, 2025.
