Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
Earn 10% back on all full-priced purchases on Moosejaw.com or at our shops (2.5% for discounted items).
The program is FREE. Just register and join during the checkout process. So Easy.
After joining the program, you'll receive your MJ$ as soon as your order ships. Then the next time you shop at Moosejaw, you can redeem those MJ$ to get awesome gear for way less.
"Get it by" - For in-stock and ready to ship items, choose the your shipping speed at checkout to get your items by the "get it by" date. Your items will ship SAME DAY for orders placed before 3pm EST.
"Oversized" - This means the item is large and can only be shipped using 4-6 Day ship speed. Additional shipping charges may apply.

If you have any questions, please Live Chat or call us at 877-666-7352.
Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.
The BearVault Model BV 500 Food Canister is a large container for keeping your food out of the bear's hands. Bigger in size than the 450, this polycarbonate cylinder secures a 7 day food capacity. Fill it up with all your yummy favorites, close up the lid and it will just become a little toy for the local grizzly or black bear to bat around on the ground. I'm sure it will get discouraged and amble off eventually. The bear, not the canister. Once it's safe, grab your stash and have yourself a meal.

Large opening, clear plastic and screw capThe large opening and see through plastic makes it easier to see specific items and get them out. The screw on top keep water out as long as it is upright when at camp. It also makes a good bench. I purchased this for kayaking the inside passage.

Feels indestructibleThis model's large size makes it super versatile for any kind of camping situation. It's also not too large that you can't take it backpacking

Easy to useSo much easier to open than my previous bear can. Also love that it’s transparent so you can see where your items are inside, and it can be used as a stool or small table.

Great dealHaven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but the product is as expected. Got a great deal thanks to Moosejaw. Allegedly, not recommended for use in the Adirondacks in NY.

Great food security in grizzly countryUsed in backcountry in Lake Clark NP with food safely secured. I esp liked how able to fit the canister horizontally in my Gregory 75 liter pack.

High Quality and Easy to UseI used this on a backpack trip earlier this week and it was very easy to use. There were no issues in opening it after overnight storage. In addition, it does work great as a camp stool.

No food for you, bears!Worked great! We packed food for two of us for a 3-night backpacking trip in this canister. It was tight, but it all fit. I like that it is transparent so I could see what I was looking for in the bin without taking everything out. The bin also served as a sturdy, and much appreciated, camp chair!

Heavy but necessaryTaken this on two week-long trips and it’s a necessity in California. Easily holds 7days of food and other smellables for one person and I could probably squeeze up to 9 days if I ditch the ramen. Makes the perfect camp stool in my opinion.
I haven’t used this specific model, so I don’t wish to review this product; however, I have used ones that visually look identical and have witnessed a black bear tear the lid off at its weakest spot. So my question is how does this lid fix to the can?
Asked by: Adk hiker
Hey there Adk Hiker, thanks for the question! This features threading around the rim and has a stopper similar to a child-lock to keep it in place. I hope this helps!
