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

Good for ScoutsWe were looking for a 1p tent for our (then) 13yo Scout to take on campouts. This has been a perfect choice! It is super easy for him to set up and break down on his own, and this is a kid who isn't the most coordinated or gifted in gross motor skills. He is average for his age and has plenty of room for his pad, bag, and backpack. The little vestibule is a nice spot to drop muddy shoes. He can sit up and change his clothes easily. He's used it in various weather types and has stayed dry and warm (with a sleeping bag liner for the teens). We love this tent for car camping situations, but it is likely a bit heavy for backpacking. It would probably work in a pinch, but there are definitely better choices if backpacking will be your main thing. All in all, the ease of setup while meeting all of the basic needs makes this a recommendation from us.

Kelty Moosejaw 1P TentAwesome quality construction and design by Kelty, but this tent weighed the same as my two person big Agnes tent. It is too bad but it is too heavy for a one person tent.

Rapid setupVery happy with the tent, setup, and interior space. Vestibule is a little small for keeping gear dry. Only tent still standing in a field of tents during a storm.

Fantastic tent!!This is a great tent!! It is well thought out and constructed very nicely, it has strong reinforcements for the tent poles and strong zippers. Kelty knows what they are doing!! The packaged arrived on time with no issues and had a sticker that said “sealed with a kiss”! So thank you Moosejaw!!

Kept me warm and dry through a stormI bought this for my first ever backpacking trip in the Sierras (Desolation Wilderness). Chose a weekend that was gusty and rainy, and this tent kept me warm and dry throughout. Not the lightest, but it was a great beginner backpacking tent.

Very nice tent.I bought the Kelty Late Start 1 for my 5 day Grand Canyon hike. It is very easy to put up and take down as well lighter than most others in it's class. It has 3 interior pockets to store your small items at night.
I would definitely recommend this tent.
When this is packed what is the general size? I don’t see the specs listed for packed size. Going on a long whitewater overnight in the big ditch and I’m not sure what to bring for sleeping quarters yet. I can fill up one bils bag.
Asked by: Brian
Hey Brian, thanks for the question! The packed dimensions of this tent are approximately 15" x 7" x 7", I'll make sure we get that information added as soon as possible. I hope this helps!

Is this free standing? Is there any ventilation once the rainfly is zipped down? Does it come with a footprint and if not, what is the weight of the footprint? Are there any pockets, lofts or tabs to attach a loft or items inside the tent?
Asked by: Last Minute
Hey there, thanks for the question! The Late Start is a free standing tent, zipped up it doesn't have the most ventilation from end to end, but the vestibules do offer some cross-ventilation. The footprint does not come included with this tent so I will leave a link for you to check it out down below, in the meantime I will also go grab the weight for that footprint. Sadly, Kelty does not have any gear loft attachment options at this time. I hope this information helps, and I'll be back with that footprint weight as soon as possible!

Hello, between this Kelty tent and the The North Face Stormbreak 1 Tent, what would be your go to tent? I like both, but this Kelty tent seems to be a bit roomier...
Asked by: Aminadab
Hey there Aminadab, great question! Both are great tents, but between the two I would recommend the Late Start. It does have a bit more square footage and in my opinion is built with a little more thought and efficiency in mind. I hope this helps!

I’m 5’9” 290lbs. Is changing in this tent difficult?
Asked by: RomanBuddha201
Hi RomanBuddha201,
I suppose it depends how flexible you are! The tent is 36.5 inches tall at its highest point. I always think it's difficult to change in a tent I can't stand up in but if you are a Twister Champ it might not be so bad.
