I seem to recall that REI usually has another 20% off coupon around Memorial Day. Is that right? Thank you for any tips.

May 18. At least according to the sales rep I talked to over the phone a few weeks ago.

I don't recall what the last one said. Gotta shoe purchase coming up and should wait for the sale if I can save a few bucks.

I have bought shoes with mine before.. So yep

I need a bike rack.

20% off covers just about everything. The exceptions are on the big items, like kayaks. Shoes are definitely covered.

I applied for a US Bank, REI card, I won't get to fulfill the requirements in time to get a $100 gift card and take advantage of the next big discount. Bummer. Looking to get a Omnifuel stove, like I need another stove, I have 77 now, just counted my list up again.

Hi Duane,

I got my $100 gift card a couple of days after I received my first bill. I applied for the REI Visa card the first week of April and made my first purchase on 4/13. The whole process went much faster than I expected.

I'm looking for a new pair of shoes as soon as the next 20% coupon comes out...

Don't forget that the REI annual sale will happen in the next couple weeks. They usually have good deals on all sorts of gear.

Eric, my understanding is you have to make a purchase with the REI card, make payment, then they would send you the $100 gift card. Sounds like USBank and REI were not communicating. There was a slight snag for my Visa card, I get mail at a POBox and the online app thru USBank needed a physical address, but their program said I had a address the Postal Service did not recognize (home delivery not available where I live) when I used my physical addy, but when I entered my PO Box, the app went thru, but USBank caught this and sent me by snail mail a letter givng me 10 days to respond with a physical addy. So we'll see. Their hours did not allow me to call, but I had the option to fax the needed info in.
Man, 20% off and the $100 gift card would get me a few small items or a big drop in price on a new winter volume pack.
