Frequently Asked Questions
How does the birthday offer work?
Enroll in the program at least three weeks before your birthday, provide the date (just the month and day!), and we’ll send you a special discount based on your tier level. The discount code will come in an email about two weeks before your birthday and is one-time use only. If you forgot to add your birthday when you enrolled, contact a Gearhead to add it for you. Once you add a birthday, it can’t be changed. See terms and conditions for additional details.See terms and conditions for additional details.How do I earn points?
You’ll earn points on eligible full-price purchases from Backcountry.com, CompetitiveCyclist.com, and Backcountry retail stores. To get credit for your purchase, make sure you’re logged into your account when ordering online, or provide the email address associated with your account to a Store Associate when purchasing at a Backcountry retail store. There’s no limit to the number of points you can rack up over a period of time—the more the merrier! But there is a cap on how many points you can earn on a single order: 25,000.When do points show up in my profile?
Expect to see your points in your profile after all items in your order have shipped or your retail purchase is completed (typically within 24 to 48 hours). Points will initially appear as pending, and switch to active 30 days after your order has fully shipped or 30 days after your retail purchase.Where can I learn more about the program?
Check out the full program terms and conditions here.Will my rewards expire?
Yes, rewards expire 90 days after they’re issued.How can I move up tiers?
Keep growing your gear closet! Pretty much everything is on the table. Even if something you purchase isn’t eligible to earn points, the money you spend still counts towards your next tier. The only exceptions are donations, gift cards, shipping, taxes, and other fees. Spend between $201 to $999 in one calendar year (January 1-December 31) to get to Switchback and spend $1,000 + in one calendar year (January 1-December 31) to get to Summit. If you qualify for Switchback or Summit status between January 1 - December 31, you’ll enjoy that status for the entire next calendar year. See our tier and rewards table for the benefits these tiers deliver.What happens to points when I return all or part of my order?
Those points are adjusted accordingly or removed from the total shown on your account page. For example, if you returned a $25 order and are earning 5 points per $1 spent, 125 points will be deducted from your profile. If you’re earning 10 points per $1 spent, then 250 points would be deducted from your profile.How does Expedition Perks work at Backcountry retail stores?
