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.

2nd failure of new TrailShotWent on a long day scramble to Bean Peak in the Teanaway Washington State. This is my second failure of a TrailShot, this time the filter was brand new, first time use and all I could get was bareley a teaspoon with each hand pump. There is either a manufacturing or engineering flaw with this product causing these type of reported failures. I love MSR products, the stoves, tents, snowshoes. and my current Mini Works filter that I still use all ay back when it started out as a two stage carbon and paper filter. Having said that the TrailShot has a problem that needs to be fixed and I hope MSR is working for a solution.

CrapThe first time I used this was in a very clean stream. The second time was also in a very clean stream, but the filter was so clogged up from the first time that the flow rate had slowed to a dribble. Literally only tiny droplets would come out. Took me an hour to fill up a Nalgene. Luckily I had brought Aquamira, which enabled me to survive through the rest of my trip. I tried cleaning out this filter when I got home but it’s still useless. Everything I’ve ever bought from MSR has been terrible. Only company whose products I’ve ever had a real problem with. Not sure why they’re still in business. Will never buy anything from them again.

Worked great for 7 daysI love this filter and used it in western Oregon for 7 days on the trail last year with great success but this year when backpacking with my son it had very little flow. Hardly even used it and I needed it. I tried to free it up as suggested but now looking to replace the guts for about the price of a new one.

Trail shot MSRonly used it a handful of times last summer. Used it last night on a bike packing trip and seemed to be clogged and very slow flow. I like the compact size for bike packing but I had a hard time using it efficiently on my trip ! I took care of it well but didn’t last.

Works well for a quickWorks well for a quick filter on the go. As far as filtering multiple bottles worth of water, it would be kind of annoying but doable. Very simple, easy and light.

Easily CloggedI have only filtered approximately 2 liters of water through my trailshot. 1 liter was tap water just to test it's function. The other liter was from water that had virtually no sediment in it. It worked fairly well for these instances. I then stored the filter for about a year, and when I tried to use it again it had no flow. I flushed it as per the owner's manual 5 or 6 times but the flow rate would not restore, as advertised. And the cost to replace the filter did not match the performance I was given. Overall, I would not rely on this filter, especially in the backcountry. I have used katadyn filters and they worked very well, I will likely continue using them.

My Trail Shot clogged after little use in clean water.I guess I have the same complaint as so many of the other reviews. When it works, it is wonderful. But mine has about 1/3 of the original flow after very little use under relatively optimal conditions. I wonder if you could advise me on maintenance, how to back flush, etc. Would freezing cause clogging?

SatisfiedUsed on one hike, works well so far. Vey comfortable to use (you don't have to float rubber bottles empty-handedly in cold stream water at -6C like with other filters). I hope it will last.
How do you know when the filter has reached its maximum cleaning capacity to operate at full functionality? Also, can you/should you backwash the filter?
Asked by: Dean
Hey Dean,
Thanks for the question. You can backwash this by shaking it! As for checking the filter, MSR recommends doing the following steps to check it's functionality:
1. Hold the filter at about 45° and prime it by squeezing the Bulb (G)10 times. 2. Pump 3/4 liter of water into a bowl or pot.
3. Unsnap the Prefilter (M) from the Female Check Valve Housing (L) (put it in a safe spot).
4. Unscrew the Female Check Valve Housing from the Male Check Valve Housing (J).
5. Remove the Check Valve (K) and reverse its direction. Place it back into the Female Check Valve Housing.
6. Screw the Female Check Valve Housing back onto the Male Check Valve Housing.
7. Remove the Spout (B) and Umbrella Valve (C).
8. Place the Cap (D) into the bowl/pot of clean water and pump 1/2 liter of clean water backward through filter.
9. While the Cap is still submerged, squeeze and hold the Bulb. Then remove the Cap from the water and release the Bulb.
10. If Bulb re-inflates within 30 seconds, the filter is NOT SAFE. (NOTE: If a few bubbles escape the Check Valve, unscrew the Female Check Valve Housing, reseat the Check Valve, and screw the Female Check Valve Housing back onto the Male.) Then test the filter again.
11. If Bulb stays compressed, the filter is safe to use.

How to store for the season?
Asked by: Seabreeze
Thanks for the question! Below are the pack & storage instructions for your filter. I also included a link to the manual. Hope this helps!
1. Remove Prefilter from water.
2. Squeeze Bulb to purge excess water.
3. Replace Clean Side Cover.
4. Before long-term storage, remove Filter Cartridge (See “Replacing the Filter
Cartridge”) and let Bulb and Filter Cartridge dry out at room temperature for
at least one week. 5

It is "field cleanable to restore flow" - but does the filter ever need to be changed? If yes, how much are they?
Asked by: Dave
Hi there Dave!
The MSR Trailshot's filter does need to be changed after filtering 2000 liters of water. We do carry the replacement filters:
