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.
3X Rewards means you earn MJ$ at triple the normal rate: 30% back on regular-priced items (instead of the regular 10%) and 7.5% back on discounted items (instead of the regular 2.5%).
Promotional Moosejaw Reward Dollars cannot be earned on Gift Cards, Bikes, Cargo Boxes, Kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards.
Additional exclusions may apply.
You must use code ICECREAM during checkout to get the extra rewards.
This promotional code is good through Sunday, June 18th, 2023.
Your reward dollars won't show up in your account until after your order is shipped.
Moosejaw Reward Dollars cannot be earned on Gift Cards.

"Oversized" - This means the item is large and can only be shipped using 4-6 Day ship speed. Additional shipping charges may apply.
"Freight" - This means the item is too large for standard shipping methods, and must be shipped by truck freight for an additional fee. Someone must be present to inspect, sign, and accept delivery, so we will call you to schedule delivery.
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 MSR Elixir 1 Tent is a backpacking tent for the single hiker. Backpacking as one requires lighter equipment, but hey, a person has to have enough space too. The large vestibule stores your gear as you snooze, especially handy when the rains are falling. The single door opens wide for entry and exit and the body features a combination of mesh and fabric to let air flow and provide privacy when the fly isn't up.

Been motorcycle camping for 20+Been motorcycle camping for 20+ years and saved the best for last. Used in one of the worst rain & hail storms I’ve been in and all was good. Plenty of head and sleeping room. Packs small, well thought out and quick set up. Many thanks for a great tent

Great solo tent for a lot of reasonsGreat solo shelter from MSR. Not the lightest MSR offering but has a lot of other wins. Material is tough and slightly less mesh makes this a great cold weather or light duty winter solo shelter. Includes the footprint and you can go ultralight in mild conditions with just the fly and footprint. At is price point it is about the best solo tent available and MJ will drop that thing on your porch in like 30 minutes they ship so fast!

Very Well-DesignedEverything about it is designed with the camper in mind. Very pleased. The glow in the dark zippers is q brilliant addition, it is compact yet spacious... Only good things to say about this product.
What is the largest size sleeping pad this tent can handle ?
Asked by: Bubba
Hey hey, great question! The interior dimensions of this tent are 32" x 84"; so you will be good to go with any pad smaller than, or up to that size. I hope this helps!

Can you use traditional tent stakes to stake down the tent in dirt?
Asked by: melissaanna
Thanks for the question! You can honestly use any stakes you like. Most people prefer the included Aluminum because they are lightweight. But if you want to hammer the stakes into the ground it would be best to use steel or something similar as Aluminum has a tendency to bend.

Picture shows it set up with just fly and a footprint. Is footprint included?
Asked by: Nate
Hey, Nate! Good news, you found a great value of a tent as it does indeed come with the footprint! You, too, can be all minimalist and just throw up the fly on the included footprint. Hope you take the Elixir on some awesome adventures!

Freestanding???
Asked by: Mitch
Hey there, Mitch.
Straight to the point, I see!
Yes. Freestanding. Unless windy. Then no.
To clarify: this tent, on clear, calm days, will stand there all tent like without the assistance of stakes. So if you had to pitch this on a cement pad or inside a hiker shelter, make sure you are not expecting any wind or pitch in a way that will help buffer any wind, otherwise it will dance around you as you try to sleep.
