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. 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 best of the best.I bought my first evo velocity in 2015 and climbed hard on it until it got stuck on Castleton Tower. I though it was gone forever, so I immediately ordered a new one. This gorgeous silver bipattern. I’ve since bought Ion twins, a Biathlon Pro, a slim gym and a third 80m velocity. I’ve also had Mammut, Edelrid, Maxim, and BD ropes (which were all good too). Sterling’s are the best. They are hands down the most knottable, manageable, usable ropes you can buy. They’re strong, and the dry treatments are great. So many times I’ve been convinced I’d see core or find a flat spot after a fall etc, and the just keep going. Even though they’re more expensive, they’re still by far the best value because of both their longevity and performance. I’ll get a Sterling every time I have to buy a rope.

Good rope!I've only used it a few times so far, but it's been holding up great. Will update review as time goes on and we see some more wear on the rope.

Perfect rope!Bought the 70m bicolor, which is super nice and worth the money if you do a lot of multipitch that requires rappelling. I use it for sport also, and while it's not a 'skinny' rope, i've found that anything under 10.0mm works great. I expect years out of this rope, and will likely buy another when it's retired.

Don't Waste Your Time or MoneySterling had two chances to impress us with this rope. The first one we ordered was frayed at the mid-point between the bi-coloring. We figured it had to do with interweaving sheath fibers but when we contacted Sterling even they agreed it was extensive so they sent us a new one.
Which was great until we took it out ONCE for a day of climbing and came back with a sheath that looks like this. Don't waste your time or money.
I honestly thought my boyfriend accidentally bought a gym rope.
1 star. Straight Up Sucks.

New Ropes are always greatLove having a bi-color pattern to make rappelling easier. Went with the 70M for longer climbs. I mean also who doesn't love a new rope, its so shiny and clean. It weighs 8 lb. 6. oz just like a brand new baby but better because it won't cry and way more fun.

Safe and Secure Climbing RopeI needed a 70 m rope (to climb with peace of mind on the longer routes) and I wanted a better solution for finding the midpoint of ropes (I had been using a Sharpie pen to mark the midpoint of my Sterling Marathon Pro 60 m rope) - which led me to this (truly wonderful) bi-color rope. It was so easy to find the midpoint (and ease is what you want when you are standing on a small ledge at the rappel rings). It handled great with my grigri bringing up the second and belaying. It probably weighs about the same as my older 10.2 mm Sterling Marathon rope. It was great for climbing routes at the Gunks.
