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.

Not what I thoughtI bought this to use as a bladder while hiking and sip off a hose. Thought I think you can use it for that the top also opens up with just a typical zip lock where the handles are. I had planned on putting it in my backpack lid but am not willing to be the guenie pig tester to see if the zip lock leaks. They either have to improve the zip lock or eliminate it and filling would go through the screw off cap. I sent this back with out use.

Has anyone on the Platy payroll ever used the Platy Water Tank?I purchased the 6 Liter Platy Water Tank a few years ago. I 'zipped' the first couple of times, but after that, not possible without a rubber mallet. This has been EVERY Water Tank I have seen since the Sierras and the AT. It leaves it, literally, a bucket, not a tank. Web-wide reviews reflect this as so the inablilty to work with Sawyer products. But virtually everybody is using Sawyer, Smart Water bottles and CNOC. Can Platy staff not figure this one out?

Awesome for car camping/road tripsI've been using these reliably for over a decade and, while the zipper closure does take some care and maintenance, the function of having a couple of these to stash around in empty voids is amazing. For the people who can't figure out the zipper: Keep it clean and use a silicone lubricant to assure a good and easy seal. The silicone does tend to attract dirt, so apply it and then take a pass over the track with a paper towel to remove excess lube. To get that seal, start at one end and pinch. You'll feel it seal if it's lined up properly. Then work your way down the closure, giving a slight bend between forefingers and thumbs, like you're bending a stiff wire, until you feel that subtle "click" of the seal. If you force it and it's not lined up, you can damage the track, so take your time until you get the hang of it. In no time you'll get it and it becomes totally easy. it's worth the learning curve. These things rock. I still have a few that are at least ten years old.

^6 Liter closure does NOT sealI purchased this based off of my experience with Platypus products in the past which I found superior to most anything, especially on the subject of durability. Unfortunately, the bag seal quit working after 2-3 times. It will not close at all now, rendering the bag useless while still new. As with ever having to send anything back, the postage was just not worth it. After the last 2 years of backpacking, I have yet to see one of any size that 'works.' Lots of gripping and complaining, same issue. Platy let us down on this one. Bag material I will still consider the best in the hydration areana, but.........

Nice bag.Easy to load and flow out too. Be sure to secure the seal on the "zipper-like" closure. Nice carrying handles.

Poor Closure DesignAlmost impossible to get the bag to stay closed. We had a half mile hike from the spring to our camp and lost almost all the water in the bag. We had two new platy water tanks and both had the same issue.

When you don’t need/want to a carry a 5-7 gallon water canWriting this in the midst of a 24-day mountain bike trip. I purchased on a whim hoping it would fill the void between a typical MSR dromedary and the ole Reliance water can. So far, the platy has performed flawlessly. I heeded the advice and pre-treated the zip with food grade mineral oil and we haven’t had an issue, easy to close and stays sealed. The flat bottom is great for picnic table convenience. Holds enough water that we aren’t making a million trips to the spigot (3 adults and 1 toddler). When we pack up to move on it rolls small and disappears into the kitchen box. A welcome addition to a car camping set up for a small crew.

Warning: Do not pack in a backpackThis product will not function in a way that makes it useful for packing. It will burst and lose all your water. The product description should probably say something to that effect. It's a shame, because they could fix it easily by sticking a slide lock on it and attach the handles to the slide lock. Their sister company has a similar product, MSR DromLite bags, that does function in this way, but tastes terrible. It would be very useful if they came up with a backpacking water storage solution with more than 3L capacity.
Is the outlet spout a standard water bottle size threaded opening? Was thinking about using this as a large capacity dirty water reservoir and attach a Sawyer mini filter to the outlet.
Asked by: Mazzo
Thanks for the question! The Platypus Water Tank has a standard size pouring spout. Anything with a standard size bottle thread should fit on the pouring spout :)
