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.
For Moosejaw Rewards members only. New members enroll for free during checkout.
You must use code GRAB20 to take the 20% off a full-priced item.
The deal is only on in stock items. Deal cannot be applied to prior purchases or with other promotions.
Load bearing climbing equipment, like a harness or carabiner, is final sale by law so if you don't like your climbing stuff just hang it on your wall to impress your friends - sorry for being so mean about it.

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.

I like the quality, would recommend an buy again.Works amazing and the quality is great for the price I paid, I got it 100$ off, full price would be a different story. It does use quite a bit of plastic but metal in the places that count. Satisfied overall. Also wish the locks were included but they make you buy that separately for whatever reason dispute the hardware already being included for the locks but no locks? Kinda silly lol.

Versatile and Easy to UseI bought this rack about a month ago and its been great! Installs on the roof by just tightening the 2 handles, so easy I usually just install and remove for each use. Although it can be a little difficult to get my 29er ontop of my SUV, I love that it frees up the interior space and tow hitch. Being able to quickly adjust to fit my 29er and carbon road bike (both with through axels) is a huge plus! Only downside is the extra charge to buy the locks...

great roof rackI've owned many of these. It's a great wheel on option. Just have to make sure the end will clear your hatch. Protip: don't back into your garage with it open after unloading your bike.

Easy to useI like that this rack doesn’t attach to the frame. It’s fairly easy to get bike into rack however I have to use a stool. Getting the bike down is a little more cumbersome but I blame that on my height (5’6). All in all a nice good looking bike rack.

Sturdy rack with good adjustabilityI like that this rack is sturdy and can adjust to hold smaller wheel bikes. I use this rack for my daughters bike since it only has 24 inch wheels. The rack itself is pretty easy to use although I also own the Yakima Highroad and prefer the positions and smoothness of the tightening knobs on that rack. Very sturdy rack and does what I need it to do.

Works greatI have used the Frontloader on several occasions. It works as advertised with my OEM aero bars from Mazda. It can be scary the first couple of times but as long as you follow instructions your bike will be safe. You need to be mindful of low tree branches. Unfortunately I hurt my shoulder in the gym so I have had a hard time getting the bike up there. Keep that in mind if you have rotator cuff injuries.
I having trouble finding a rack to fit a 2006 Lexus GS350. Can you suggest a brand/model?
Thank you
Asked by: Gaye
Hey there, Gaye!
You asked a tricky question, but we're always happy to do some research for our custies. We checked around, and found out that our friends at Yakima have an option for you.
They recommend their Q Towers for your base rack:
Tower: Q Towers 4 Pack
Front Clip/Pad: Q5 Clips
Rear Clip/Pad: Q34 Clips
Crossbar: Small (48") RoundBar Pair (2 CrossBars)
They said that any of their top-of-car bike racks would fit those bars. It's just a matter of whether or not you want to take the front bike wheel off. For wheel-off, you could do either the ForkLift or Highspeed. For leaving the wheel on the bike, you could do the FrontLoader or HighRoad.
We hope this helps!

Can anyone tell me if it can mounted in a Thule aeroblade roof rack!
Asked by: Sam41
Hey there,
Thanks for reaching out to Moosejaw! The Yakima Frontloader will fit crossbars that are up to 4 inches wide. Also, the center to center distance between the bars will need to be 16 to 48 inches.

I have a Burley Django recumbant bicycle. It has a 20" front wheel and a 26" rear. The wheel base is 46". Would the Front Loader work with this bicycle?
Asked by: Greg
Great question! Unfortunately, the FrontLoader is not compatible with recumbent and tandem bikes. I did some research and I actually could not find any Yakima product specifically for recumbent bikes. I was able to find a Thule bike rack that is designed specifically for recumbent bikes. It is called the Thule Tandem Carrier. While it says it is a tandem bike carrier, it converts to carry conventional and recumbent bikes. I included a link below. I hope this information helps!
