Sorry, this deal has ended. Click here to find other discounted REI gift card deals. |
Update 5/10/21: This offer was due to have ended last month. Both my wife and I used the offer and so it’s no longer showing in the app for us which means I can’t check whether it’s been extended again or not.
Update 3/11/21: This offer briefly disappeared, but it’s back with a new expiry date of April 15, 2021. If you’ve used this offer before, it doesn’t look like it’s returned.
Update 2/20/21: This REI/Google Pay offer has returned with a new expiry date of March 31 – perfect timing as I need to get some new hiking boots. This should still work on gift cards if you want to max it out that way, so I’ll likely add a gift card when checking out to bump it up to as close to $250 spend as possible.
Update 1/16/21: This offer was due to expire on January 15, but it’s now showing as being valid through January 31. I hadn’t used this offer yet, so I don’t know if the past offer got extended or if it’s a brand new offer. Hopefully it’s the latter as that would presumably mean that if you took advantage of it last time then you could use it again.

Tips & Ideas
This is an excellent deal, not only because 20% cashback is a great for REI, but because it’s valid on $250 of spend.
This will stack with REI’s current deal offering a $20 bonus card when buying a $100 gift card online. That requires buying a $20 lifetime REI membership which is worth it if you know you’ll be shopping there.
Past Deals
- December 16, 2020-January 31, 2021
Just keep in mind that the $20 bonus card is only valid 12/26-01/04, and limit 1 bonus card per membership so a second $100 GC purchase would not yield a second bonus card.
Hi giftcard purchase will trigger Google’s cashback?
In this case, yes it will.
So to be clear, use a card linked to Google pay, not Google pay? Also, the $20 card is for new members only
Correct. You have to make sure the offer is activated in Google Pay and that the card you’re paying with is enrolled in that offer.
Used your referral link, thanks for keeping the blog up to date.
Thank you!
Dumb question, but how is the offer activated in GPay?
Tap on the offer in GPay, then you should see a blue ‘Activate’ button.
@Stephen Pepper, can you advise how we can find offers ourselves in the Gpay app? When I open in app on my Ipad, I cannot find any rewards menu. Thanks.
At the bottom of the app, there are three tabs – the tag on the left is where the offers show up. If you’re not seeing those, it might be that you need to update the app in the app store to have the latest version.
Anyone know what does one transaction mean? Does that mean the cashback will only be applicable to one item purchased OR does it mean that the cashback will only be for one purchase upto $250 in value even if that purchase include multiple items.
It’s on one entire purchase. For example, I bought hiking boots, hiking socks and a gift card in-store and paid for all three at the same time – I earned 20% cashback on the entire transaction. The only danger when doing that online is if the retailer takes payment for each item individually.
thanks
Can you post a screenshot of the rei offer and expiration date? Gpay support can’t tell me why I don’t see the offer and asks for a screenshot.
I’m afraid both my wife and I have used it and so I don’t have it showing in the app anymore.
