How to maximize the sale
Customers who are not yet members can join the REI Co‑op for a $30 fee and receive a $30 bonus card, effectively covering the cost of membership during the sale. Members also enjoy free shipping on qualifying orders and exclusive offers such as 25 % off bike installation services.
The Labor Day event marks REI’s last major discount period before its annual November holiday sale, which traditionally coincides with the retailer’s #OptOutside commitment to close stores on Black Friday.
Where to find the deals
All discounts are available online at rei.com and at participating REI stores nationwide. Shoppers should act quickly, as inventory is limited and popular items tend to sell out fast.
