If you’ve ever wondered whether or not REI provides discounts for military members, the short answer is no. Unfortunately, such a program doesn’t run within the REI system, but we still have something to learn about it. For instance, even if REI did not provide a military discount, there are still a few additional methods that service members might use to save money when purchasing outdoor goods. Quite impressive, isn’t it?!
We’ve compiled a smart mini-guide on what you should know about REI’s discount policy and some other stores that offer military discounts.
What is REI’s Discount and Coupons Policy?
As was said before, REI does not provide a military discount or a discount for veterans; however, the company does provide a few additional ways in which service members may save money on outdoor goods. To begin, on the REI website, you will need to navigate to the page labeled “Official REI Coupons, Coupon Codes, Discounts & Rebates” in order to obtain all of the information in an accurate way. You’ll also gain some insight into REI’s Deal of the Day and have the opportunity to shop at REI Outlet this way.
In addition, if you browse the website of REI, you may find information about bulk discounts, which allow you to save around 10% when you buy more than one of the same item. Take note that there is a rule that stipulates the minimum quantity of a product that must be purchased in order to qualify for a volume discount differs from product to product.
And if you think you might be lucky enough to try something new at REI, you can always sign up to become a member of the REI Co-op for only twenty dollars. The fact that you earn a discount of 10% on most of your purchases is a wonderful perk offered by this choice. Neat!
