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.

Awesome snow shoesThese are by far the best snow shoes! The boot straps are very easy to use and hold your foot into the snowshoes effectively. Once you use these straps for your boots you well never recommend any other snow shoes that you have ever used. The snowshoes are very light and so easy to walk in. For walking up step inclines you can use the elevation features which reduces the effort for climbing. Really like the flat aluminum construction and the ice grips on the frames. These are well worth the cost!

Snowshoe system.They are great thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase these. I will be using them for both my employment with the Government of Canada as a field supervisor and for recreational use as well. I am very impressed with the design. I purchased the tail extensions, maintenance kit and snowshoe pack as well.

MSR Snowshoes are Alaska worthy.I have put hundreds of miles on these bad boys in some world class terrain. I have used these to climb the Grand Teton in winter, approached peaks on Thompson Pass and Hatcher Pass Alaska. They have proved worthy on short WI2 bulges and class 3 terrain. I have used these snowshoes so much I swear I have grown nerve endings on the bottom. On hard packed snow the crampons on the bottom are good enough to ascend up to 45-degree terrain.
The only con of these snowshoes is when ascending ski lines without skis I get some really dirty looks.

Anti-snowshoeI have been snowshoeing a few times. Each time I went I hated it, slower than skies and harder than walking with boots had been my experience. I avoided snow shoes for years. But I needed a pair for a trip and decided to get the best so hopefully snowshoeing would be, at least, tolerable.
The Ascent Lightenings showed up and sat int he box a few weeks as I wanted for snow. We just had some and I put the shoes on to take a quick walk in the backyard just to see if the bindings worked. The bidding are fantastic and I felt so good in the snowshoes I went for a 4 mile hike. Then went out the next day and the next day. WOW love these show shoes, I love snowshoeing!

Best traction in a snowshoeIf you’re winter hiking along steep trails, these are the best snowshoes you can buy.
I used the same pair of Lightning Ascent™ snowshoes heavily each winter across 5 years in the White Mountains of NH. Peaks here get very icy & very steep in the winter, so taking on any of the higher summits demands a snowshoe with impressive traction. Lightning Ascent™ snowshoes have the best traction on the market - there really isn’t another snowshoe that comes close, except for similar MSR designs. Most snowshoes have the bulky tubular perimeter, but the heavily serrated perimeter of these shoes cut into ice, along with the sharp crampon on the foot.
Be aware that the aluminum construction unavoidably makes the snowshoes much softer than steel. I used my shoes until the sharp sides were flat, and each tooth of the crampons completely snapped. While the crampons under the foot are replaceable, no amount of sharpening can enhance the dull sides.
PROS -
•Very lightweight
•Best traction of any snowshoe
•Replaceable parts
CONS-
•Aluminum less durable than steel
•Less flotation on snow than tubular snowshoes
Best snowshoe for steep winter terrain. For fluffy powder & deep snow, with little ice, snowshoes with a bigger focus on flotation rather than traction is preferred.

Lightning Ascent Short comings!I love the Lightning Ascent Snowshoes and have worn out several pairs. However the "New" Paragon Binding is not my favorite I would much rather have the the option of ordering the previous style binding. In soft snow the new heal strap is harder to get a good hold on.

Love the bindings, love the traction.Have put these through a few good snowy ascents. Bindings are quick. The televators are amazing. And the traction was solid. Ice/snow/packed powder.
