Trader Rewards - By The Numbers

Trader Rewards - By The Numbers

If you surf, fish, camp, or spend weekends chasing another good day outdoors, you’ve probably got a shopping cart on our site filled with gear. A wishlist worked through whenever there’s spare cash, a sale or a deal too good to pass up. Trader Rewards is our way for that spending to give back. No gimmicks or points you'll never use. A reliable mechanism for your cash to work harder.

GETTING IN COSTS NOTHING

You sign up, create an account, and you're a Trader. There’s an immediate 10% off your first order. From there, you're earning every time you shop.

The process is about as simple as these things get: you earn one point for every dollar you spend. Spend $50, you've got 50 points. No tiers to decode, categories with differential earn rates, or fine print waiting to trip you up. It doesn't matter whether you're buying online or in-store. It's all one account, and it all counts the same. You don't have to think about it or change how you shop.

EVERY CENT ADDS UP

Say you pick up a leash and some wax, grab a couple of tees and a pair of boardies before summer, replace a set of fins, add a beanie for those colder mornings. Gear you'd buy across twelve months. Average $40 a month and that's 480 points in a year. 

Cross 300 points and you unlock $30 off your next purchase of $50 or more. A year of ordinary buying hands you thirty dollars back, ready to put toward whatever's next. And the points don't stop! The more you spend over time, the higher it climbs: 600 points earns $60 off, 900 earns $90, and on it goes.

THE EXTRA BONUSES

Two additional perks are the cherries on the cake : Free standard shipping on every order, as long as you're logged in, which can save you more across a year than the points do. And 50 points land in your account each year during your birthday month. Happy birthday from us!

Trader Rewards stretches your budget further. Every dollar you spend buys back a little of itself. If you're saving toward something bigger, like a new board, it gets you there sooner. And if you're not counting at all, it simply means more bang for your buck on the gear you love, from a shop that's glad you're here.

Sign up, shop the way you always have, and let the numbers work for you.
