REI Reviews

At Rei.com, customers can make purchases using a variety of payment methods. One of the options is the REI Co-op Mastercard. Customers can earn a $100 REI gift card after their first purchase outside of REI within 60 days from account opening. This card can be managed online, including making payments and managing account preferences.

In addition to the REI Co-op Mastercard, customers can also use other Credit/Debit Cards. When updating the payment method, customers will be asked for the card number, expiration date, and CVC.

It's important to note that net purchases made at REI retail locations and REI.com using the REI Co-op Mastercard will earn 5% in REI Co-op Mastercard Rewards. This includes full-price and discount-price items, REI gift cards, services, fees, and REI adventure travel-invoiced trip payments.

At REI, the return policy is built on a foundation of customer satisfaction. If a customer is not satisfied with a purchase, it can be returned for a replacement or refund— with a few exceptions. For REI Co-op Members, the return window is 365 days from the date of purchase. For non-members, the return window is 90 days for most items, except for outdoor electronics, which have the same 90-day return period for everyone. Some items like in-store Re/Supply used gear purchases, REI Co-op Memberships, lift tickets, passes, and gift cards are considered final sale and cannot be returned. Returns can be made either by mail or in person at any REI store. If a customer chooses to return by mail, a $5.99 fee will be deducted from the refund for using the prepaid shipping label, unless the item is oversized or multiple orders are being returned in a single box.

As for the shipping policy, REI does offer international shipping. However, delivery of orders might be delayed due to increased demand. The company is committed to fulfilling orders as quickly and safely as possible. If a customer needs to return items purchased online or in a retail store, the mail-in return process can be started online. With an REI shipping label, the return can be dropped off at any Postal Service™ facility or mailed directly from home. If the return is accepted, the shipping charges will be refunded.
