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.

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.

Lightweight, rugged, functional trail running packSince picking up the BD Distance 8, I've put it through the ringer. Several ultra adventures in a variety of terrains and conditions and this pack refuses to quit. The size is great for the essentials + some wiggle room for some extra items. This piece of gear is great for the beginner or expert trail runner. The only minor quarrel I have is access to stowing my poles; they lock in good an tight with the durable, cinching cord setup but often I have to take the pack on and off to stow. I can usually pull them out just fine. Overall, highly recommend for your longer trail adventures

Great Pack. Terribly small bottle holders.The quality of the pack is great. Running with it is even better. Fits snug and no movement even when lightly loaded. My only complaint is the upfront pouches are way too narrow and do not stretch enough to accommodate a variety of flasks making them challenging to use. That is the only thing this pack needs to be 10/10 for recommending to others; instead I give it 6/10 because IMO this is a big miss.

Super comfortable and lightweight. Perfect for putting dog bowls in along with smaller gear that is nice to have on a trail run.

Perfect fitI used it only once but so far it holds up to m’y expectations. The shoulder straps sit perfectly on my chest and rib cage for a great snug that prevents the bag from bouncing. The front pockets hold my phone perfectly. i used an 1.5 bladder bag . I took a fall during my trail run and tumbled. Was expecting some damages to the bag but nothing... not a scratch

Solid packI’ve yet to take this on the trial due to an injury, but the build is great and the trekking pole sleeves are awesome. The construction is great, it seems like it’ll be very durable. Looking forward to getting out with it soon.

Super comfortable and practicalI have only used this for short hikes and I love it. It’s very comfortable and has a lot of room and great features, especially the front water bottle pockets. They only fit the long, skinny running bottles, but it is all I usually need. You can also put in a bladder.
Only thing that is missing is a smaller internal pocket for keys or a phone. But I’m sure that cuts down on weight and complexity.

Everything I was looking for in a packLight pack jam packed with a ton of neat features that will allow you to accomplish your adventure goals. Bought this for my boyfriend, who is big into trail running and ended up getting one myself. The pack is very comfortable and has plenty of storage. Front pockets can easily fit snacks/phone and there are attachment points for poles/ice axe. There is also an internal pocket for a water bladder.
