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.

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.

Randomly turns off due to faulty power switch designThe power switch doesn't have any sort of "lock" to keep it in place, and with the slightest bump it turns itself off (I failed a group check because of this, and when I took my beacon out, I noticed it was off even though it was still in the "On" position). I re-confirmed later that the slightest bump to the switch can turn it off sometimes... can't imagine what an avalanche would do to it. Not sure there's any point in buying a beacon that can turn itself off just when using it normally, let alone in an avalanche...

Great BeaconGreat beacon don't be scared off by the alarmists on the proximity sensor, about 5 minutes of coaching and both my 12 and 8 yr old were switching easily between modes with no problems as we ran drills and practice with it and another beacon.
Great size and weight easy to use. Yes the proximity sensor takes a minute or two to get used to, take 5 and read the manual, really the biggest thing to remember is make sure it is unlocked and signals cleared before you put it back into send mode, once you make that routine (honestly takes like 2-3 mode switch practices) it is a very simple straight forward effective beacon.
Like I said my 8 yr old picked it up in about 10 minutes and was adept and locating the other beacon and switching between modes as needed.
Very happy with the product so far.

Great Beacon!As part of a Mountain Search and Rescue Team, our gear has to be built to last and offer us the best Tech on the market for a good price. This product checks all of the boxes. Light years ahead of our old Avalanche Beacons with some very handy new features and still easy to use in the field with heavy gear on. I would for sure Recommend this product.

Amazing beacon with new technologyI read some reviews that were not to positive, the micro comes with simple new technology, and the review I read all had to do about problems switching from send to search, the simplest things that this beacon offers. Just remove from harness and it switch by itself, no buttons, no special secret move. Take it out of the harness (harness has to be worn to fonction) then it switches by itself. Please read the manual otherwise you’ll miss some other functions that will slow down your search. Technology is moving fast, great transceiver when you read the instructions and practice, practice, practice. Way to go black diamond, you just saved me seconds to start searching while others are (not all) removing their gloves to switch from send to search. Large screen, clear flagging in case of multiple, etc... again what Was supposed to be a problem was from people who were looking for a way to go from send to search. IT DOES IT BY ITSELF. THIS IS MY 8th BEACON AND THE BEST ONE... I only go into the Backcoutry knowing my friends have read, tested and practice how to operate their transceiver.

Great size, trying to understand the features!Great size! I need to read the manual and practice practice practice with this new probe. I had trouble with it automatically switching from send to find during Avi training, but pretty sure it was user mistake. Once I get it figured out I think it will be great.

Too BadAs an avalanche educator, I teach a lot of students and see all the different beacons in use. The Pieps Sport and DSP Pro are some of the best on the market. I was interested in checking out the Pieps Micro. In an attempt to make it easier to use (no simple Send/Search Switch), I think they made it more complicated. It's a cool idea that when you take it out from the harness or the bag, that it automatically goes to search. However, the timing of turning it on and then getting the sensor covered is tricky. Also, if practicing, it's crucial to get the sensor covered quickly when going from Search back to Send. The only advantage I have found with the Micro is that it is smaller and lighter. However, even with a bunch of practice, I find it difficult to use and nerve racking. I certainly would not recommend the Micro for students fairly new to the avalanche game. Sorry BD/Pieps.

Great beacon after initial learning curveI have used this beacon on 7-8 tours and finally understand it enough to review. I was initially confused about how to operate the thing and honestly a little scared when it seemed like the tranceiver wasn't working properly. After a little yard practice I think it deserves 5 full stars.
Here are the basics. The beacon has a simple ON/OFF knob that seems to just rotate the battery into position to power the unit. The beacon has one button marked with a flag, and it has a "proximity sensor" that determines if the unit is stowed in your holster/pocket or outside ready for action. This simple interface works because the unit has a carefully thought-out sequence that makes it safe and relatively idiot proof.
Here's the sequence. After the beacon is turned on it does a self check. Make sure the beacon is out of your holster/pocket while it initiates. (See hints below for more on this) After initial checks it then goes immediately into SEARCH mode. Once you stow it away, it switches to TRANSMIT mode and beeps and vibrates a bunch of times so you know for sure that you can go skiing. Easy so far: outside=search / stowed=transmit. A diagram on the screen displays the current mode.
When you take out the beacon again, it switches back to SEARCH and LOCKS in this mode. The screen displays a lock. Even if you stow it at this point it will NOT switch back to TRANSMIT unless you lie very still for a full minute (in the event of a secondary avalanche). When the beacon has been still for a minute while in SEARCH mode it AUTO-REVERTS to SEND mode. Still with me?
The SEARCH-LOCK scared me at first, but now I think it is an important feature. It keeps gumby's like me from accidentally stowing the beacon in the middle of a search and inadvertently transmitting. It helped my confidence to test the AUTO-REVERT to SEND feature. (See hints below)
To get back to TRANSMIT mode, hold down the FLAG button for 3 seconds and stow the beacon. Confirmation that you are transmitting will come in the form of beeping and vibrating. (It beeps 4 times and vibrates 10 times.)
There are more advanced features like multiple burials, group check mode, bluetooth customization and firmware upgrades, and error codes. I dove too quickly into trying to use these features (because I thought I was a pro) before I really understood the basics.
Four hints for success with this newfangled technology:
1. Do NOT use the ON/OFF switch as a toggle for going between SEARCH and SEND. If you end up doing this a bunch, you need to read the manual again.
2. You can fool the beacon into thinking it is stowed by putting your finger over the proximity sensor. This is useful while training with it and to visually check when in TRANSMIT mode. After some practice I know where to grab the beacon to do a quick visual check mid-tour without switching modes.
3. Do NOT turn the beacon ON while it is stowed or while covering the sensor. During the initial self-checks the beacon will assume that the proximity sensor is DAMAGED and will go SEND mode and display the error code E7. If this happens, turn off the beacon and restart it without covering the sensor. If E7 is displayed you can manually switch between SEND and SEARCH by holding down the FLAG button. The sensor will do nothing. At first I thought this was a stupid feature, but in the event of a damaged senor, this makes the unit useable
4. Test the AUTO-REVERT-TO-SEND feature at home. Get the beacon into SEARCH-LOCK mode by turning on, stowing it, wait for the burst of vibrations that signals TRANSMIT mode and then removing it. Now just like it down on the ground and let it sit motionless for 1 minute. After a minute it will make a terrible alarm sound and switch to TRANSMIT. The alarm will continue indefinitely until you press the FLAG button and switch it back to SEARCH. Now imagine getting caught in a secondary slide and having to listen to that MF alarm until you die.
Pros:
-Small, lightweight
-Long range (tested ~50m)
-One AA battery, long life (user manual says ~300 hours on SEND)
-After intial learning curve, intuitive and simple interface
-Great for gumby guides, gumby clients, all of us other gumbies.
Cons:
-Takes practice to use intuitively and efficiently. Pretty much like every other beacon.
-I think that annoying AUTO-REVERT alarm should also go off when I'm making a stupid decision that could get me killed. Maybe that will come with the next bluetooth firmware update. :)
