Hey everyone, want a $100 REI gift card? I know backpacking is an expensive lifestyle. I'm working on figuring out how to fund my hike this summer. Luckily, I work for REI, and for everyone who signs up for a visa with them, I get a sizable bonus, and you get $100.00 gift card to buy new gear, plus 5% dividend/cash back on in store purchases, 1% everywhere else, for no sign up fee, and no annual fee. It's perfect for gear loves, and you'd really be helping me out. All you have to do is apply and put in my employee referral code. I'd really appreciate the help.

Interesting. Usually these offers require a certain amount of spending in the first few months to get the free money... Your link only has details about the card, nothing about the offer or how to sign up.
I'd consider it if the $100 is really just for signing up, but that's never the case in my experience.

Actually, I believe you also have to be an REI member, which if you aren't already will cost you an additional $20 (lifetime). The $100 gift card arrives in 6 to 8 weeks after you use the card for a purchase (anywhere) the first time, which you MUST do within 60 days of receiving the card.
It actually isn't a bad deal for REI members as you get an additional 5% back on your member refund every year on REI purchases (1% on everything else). Similar to the LLBean CC which issues coupons instead.
Whether or not WB is the proper place to cold call solicit such an offer, which is more usually done when people are already engaged in a purchase with an REI salesperson, is a different question.

for what it's worth I have an REI visa and it's a no brainier. use it for purchases and get free gear every march. that said, us bank is a brutal company to deal with , and any type of groveling is met with derision around this forum. folks here made pretty big sacrifices to make their hike happen and they sometimes take offense. I give u some advice, if you really want to Fund your hike, get a part time job and put all that aside. save10% of your income for the hike. you only need a few grand. also some people get fired and collect unemployment. or you can be like me and many others here and spend a few decades earning , raising a family , working your tail off so u can retire early and hike the trail, God willing.
that said, Rei visa is a great deal, even if their products are way over priced.

I'll agree... Just need some more info in here before I'm totally comfortable. Then again, anyone who signs up for credit cards without reading the fine print has it coming to them anyway.

Thank you all, even for just talking about it. I will not dispute world bank is a pain in the butt to deal with, and you do need to use the card once to get the hundred dollars, sorry to have left that part out. But, to be fair, you can use it that once to buy a cliff bar and then never use the card again. If you shop at REI a lot, it's a great deal, and if not, use it that once, get the gift card, and then don't worry about it ever again. Still a sweet deal. As for whether or not WB is the appropriate place to put this, I did consider that. My conclusion was that WB was a community of people who would actually benefit from this too since REI is where many of you already shop. I completely understand that many people don't want another credit card, or don't even want one credit card. But knowing about it doesn't hurt, and it's the only way I'll be seeing any real white blazes this summer. Thanks again.

I have a REI card that I picked up during one of these promotions. It mostly goes unused but comes out for the 20% off Sale a couple times a year. I'm about ready for another one of those.
Anyway, I never regretted it.
In this instance she's not 'working' to fund her hike. She's willing to sell others the temptation of financial servitude to US bank to get what she wants. Sounds like networking for the 1%'ers to me.

Your next 20% off should come out March 18, and winter clearance is currently going on.
Come on. This is a great idea. The corporation is going to try and give you a credit card every time you shop there anyway. Help a fellow hiker out and get a benefit in return. Sounds like sour grapes cause you didn't think of it. Better yet get the card and never pay for it. That will show them!

Oh good gawd. Its a frickin credit card. Which everyone should have at least one anyway. Plus you get a hundred bucks. She gets a little something too. Big deal.
I got the deal last year. Picked up the $129 Jet Boil on sale for $89 and "paid" for it with the $100 gift card.

C'mon... The servitude comes when you don't know how to handle being given credit, not from the credit itself. If I do this I'll buy a cheap item I planned on buying anyway, pay it off immediately, then shred the card. I've done it countless times with other businesses. They're willing to give me the $100 because they know some sorry sucker is gonna go nuts with his card and end up in the servitude you mention... If that's you then that's your problem, not Alpine Bomber's.
Alpine Bomber sent me a friendly message (thanks AB) reminding me of the interest rating, to help me avoid that scenario as well. Sounds like he (or she) just wants to earn an honest buck while getting us some free cash... Quit whining.
I think all thru-hikers should jump on this and support REI considering how much they support us. Just think of all the refunds they give to hikers that quit, finish or just wear out their gear and return it. That's gotta be worth something. :)
All kidding aside the REI/Visa program is a good deal.
...If I do this I'll buy a cheap item I planned on buying anyway, pay it off immediately, then shred the card. ....
Just a quick note: not sure if it is still this way but used to be that the Credit Card available limit still shows up in your credit reporting until you get the account cancelled completely. While it may not be important to many, if someone goes for a mortgage, etc, the credit evaluation (whether you get your mortgage or not) is based on your total available credit line from all credit cards etc whether they have been used or not. Not saying this isn't a good deal, just cover all your bases.

Good idea Bomber. This is using your REI job in a smart way!!
Already got my REI Visa. Had it within a week. Had my $100 gift card within 2 weeks.

At least her post had to do with hiking the AT, unlike yours which has to do with politics. How about we stay away from politics.

Notice how these promotions work. You don't get the $100, nor the 5% cash back unless you actually use the card. REI is betting you'll spend much more than $100 with the card because you're obviously a sucker for promotions (which they're famous for) - USBank is betting few people will pay off their balance every month (statistics prove them right) and 90% of those will be saddled with 22.99% interest (a few will qualify for 10.99% because they don't really need credit anyway).
LOL
CC companies and REI make these offers because they know for certain that X % of cards they issue will result in spending beyond means and interest being paid by the borrower.
It's a mathematical certainty.
As such, OP is saying that she's ok with putting some members here at risk. And she is def seeking to network here on behalf of a large financial institution.

When I first saw your post headline, I thought here's another lazy wannabe thru-hiker looking for a free handout. But, not only do you have a job, but sought to creatively supplement your earnings, as well as help a few White Blazers see what a good deal signing up for the card may be. So in the end, I'm okay with your post, and I'll go ahead and sign up for the card using your number. Have a great hike!
Alpine Bomber
02-16-2014, 19:58
Thanks for the support everyone! Just to clarify, credit cards come with risk. If you feel that your financial situation would be poorly impacted by applying for this card, please don't apply. It's not worth hurting your credit to get a gift card, a higher dividend, or to help me out. Remember, if you do apply, this is a card that must be paid off every month. 22% is no joke, and they will not let you off the hook. Gervias, I should have included such a disclaimer when I posted this, thank you for correcting that oversight. Everyone else, I sincerely appreciate the support, and hope to see you all on the trail this summer!

Since I have always paid cash for everything I own and have always been 100% debt free, they wouldn't give me the card even if I wanted one, since I have no credit history. I tried once just to see what would happen and that's what I was told. One of those catch 22 type of things. I suggest everyone cut up what ever credit cards you have, pay off the balance and don't look back. Stop making the rich richer and think of what you could do with all that interest you have been paying to those thiefs.
Is there a single AT thru hiker that actually works to save for their vacation! Between badger and this, enough is enough.

I signed up for a free (first year) Chase Sapphire card last summer to get 40,000 airline miles (1:1 transferable to number of airline programs). I pay my balance in full and will gladly accept the two round trip tickets they are giving me. REI's deal is good, but there are even better deals out there.

Personally I am more shocked than an REI employee is contemplating a Thru-hike :eek:
Good for you; If this works and you worked for me I'd promote you to marketing- at least you are providing value and working, not just mooching.
Never be afraid of credit, that's the way the game is played. If you really want to stick it to the man; sign up for every deal like this you see. I make about $1000 a year signing up for checking accounts, card bonus's like this and other deals. Got one from TCF bank last month- $200 for putting $60 a month in for three months- well over 100% R.O.I.
In retail it's called a loss leader- give something away in hope of making money on something else. Take the giveaway and refuse the something else. Read the fine print, but most deals aren't as full of catches as you think- especially with recent credit card reforms. My credit score is in the high 700's. As Slo said- gotta use credit to get credit- comes in handy once you have it. No harder than scoring a hot dog at a hiker feed, with no risk of catching Norovirus.
FYI- it's not debt if you pay off the card when the bill comes- it's just a delayed cash transfer.
Wish you the best Alpine Bomber. You handled yourself well.
Good info overall, but actually JB, I thru-hiked much of the PCT with a member of the Board Directors for REI and another who was an Asst Store Mngr. I also have met some 5-6 REI Associates that have thru-hiked either the AT or PCT or both and a few more that have thru-hiked other trail(Long Tr, Colorado Tr, Arizona Tr). Some REI stores have a very outdoorsy accomplished staff.

Alpine, sorry for the negitivity.

This is may not be the best advise for everyone. Multiple credit checks -- the kind of checks that are done each time you apply for a card or loan -- can have a negative impact on your credit score.
Everyone's situation is different.
I would love to help you out and sign up, but I already have an REI card. Use it exclusively for gear purchases, pay it off every month, and enjoy the refund every March.
Good luck on your fund raising and I hope you have a great hike!
(BTW, US Bank has done good by me in the few years I have had the card. I had a couple of purchases that weren't mine and they credited the amounts back right away and I had a new card within a week.)

Someone needs to lighten up here. It's only "servitude" if you spend beyond your budget and/or don't pay your bills. If you think you'll abuse the credit card, then don't get it. If one were considering applying for an REI Visa, using Alpine Bomber's referral number costs neither you nor REI anything - it comes from US Bank (and their customers who carry balances).
Besides if you really wanted to put it to US Bank, get the card, get the $100 gift card, and pay your bills in full each month. Sure, they'll get transaction fees from the merchants when you use the card, but the big money is made in monthly interest charges - and its easy to avoid those.

Maybe this should be linked to the good reads thread that is going. But, maybe those worried about the use of credit should read Dave Ramsey. He is an advocate of debt-free living. Credit (credit cards) is a tool. It can be used wisely or poorly.
On another level, this thread has been quite entertaining. Really, "financial servitude"? 1%ers? I love the hysteria.
I use credit cards for almost every single purchase and get paid to do so due to Discover Card's 1% rebate. I have had credit cards for over 20 years and have never paid a dime in interest. But people need someone or something to blame for their own lack of self control in money matters, obesity, smoking, etc.. the list goes on.

When I first saw this thread, I had a very negative reaction being completely anti-credit card/debt. It appeared to me that you were actually being audacious enough to ask people to open credit card accounts for your benefit. "NO COMMENT" was the order of my day.
But I've followed, and considered, and I choose to believe that what's going on here is that you are simply notifying members that the offer exists, and if they were interested in it, AND GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT ANYWAY, could they please use your code so that one of their fellow WB members might also benefit.
I don't know for a FACT that this was your thinking, but in my rose-colored world it is what I will furthermore choose to believe. :rolleyes:
Good Luck then.

I charge everything possible for cash back.... All of our insurance, medical, groceries, utilities, etc. If you can charge it, I charge it. Makes record keeping simple too.
Amex Blue Cash Preferred - 6% cash back on groceries

Capital One Quicksilver - 1.5% cash back on everything (use if Amex isn't accepted.)
In 2013 I got back $1867 in cash rewards.... That's about $156 a month.
I would not get a credit card that was limited to 1 store or didn't give cash rewards.
Credit is a great tool if you're disciplined and can pay off the balance each month.

Hello again everyone, although I'm attempting to not respond to every post that that isn't positive to avoid a good old internet battle :P, I would like to clarify a few things. I have been a wb member for years, and value and love this community. I spent a good amount of time considering whether or not it was ethical for me to post this. In the end I decided to because I legitimately think this is tool that could help a lot people save money while financing their hikes. Notice I posted in a forum for thru-hikes still in planning mode, not on the main forums where it would get the most traffic. Over the course of the last 3 years, since my first thru attempt I've spent over 2000 dollars on gear. Granted, I didn't get the cheapest gear on the market, but most people don't. 5% back out of 2000 dollars adds up quickly, and so i genuinely believe that this is helpful to people even beyond the 100 dollar gift card. Yes, I am absolutely benefiting, but I can tell you I'm not getting close to 100 dollar gift card for each of these. company policy dictates I can't post how much I get, but it's not even half what the applicant gets. Therefore, I decided that White Blaze is an appropriate place for a post like this, and at the same time I fully understand why people disagree with that. I was on the fence about it myself. I apologize if you feel that it doesn't belong here.
As far as how credit cards impact credit history, it is true that inquiries and more cards lower your score, but if that card is paid off responsibly it will raise your score, so over the course of a few months you're building credit, not hurting it. That said, getting a credit card is a big decision and many factors influence whether or not getting one is a good financial move for someone. Please don't get one if you doubt it will help you.
Thank you for everyone's support. Oh, and I was long distance hiker long before I was an REI employee!

So, has anyone signed up for one of these cards yet or is it too early to tell? At least all this discussion has kept the subject alive for you. Otherwise, it would have just disappered into the general noise as soon as it was posted.
Anyway, the way this site works with the daily post listing, it really doesn't matter what forum you initally post in, although some forums have stricter rules about the kind of responses which can be given. Humm, maybe there should be a financial forum for these kinds of things, seeing that it is a popular subject...

$25. When I worked at REI, that's how much employees got for REI Visa sign ups. So it's not much, but it helps. (This was several years ago, but I doubt it's much more than that now.) It's a good deal, in my opinion, as long as you manage your credit card debt wisely.

Hey everyone, want a $100 REI gift card? I know backpacking is an expensive lifestyle. I'm working on figuring out how to fund my hike this summer. Luckily, I work for REI, and for everyone who signs up for a visa with them, I get a sizable bonus, and you get $100.00 gift card to buy new gear, plus 5% dividend/cash back on in store purchases, 1% everywhere else, for no sign up fee, and no annual fee. It's perfect for gear loves, and you'd really be helping me out. All you have to do is apply and put in my employee referral code. I'd really appreciate the help.

Possibly too late, but was signing up for the REI visa last night, and found your code and entered it. I figure that it doesn't cost me anything, I wanted the card anyway, and when I typed 'REI referral code forum' into google, I ended up here. Hope you get $20

Why not just start a thread and beg for money. Most of us work hard and save money as we can to fund our trips. This seems like someone looking for a hand-out. Even hobos work for any funds or food they receive.

My guess is that this is absolutely against company policy, and if some supervisor finds out, it may be a long time before she takes a hike anywhere except to the unemployment line.

Hmm, brings up ideas for a spin off series, "The Hiking Dead".
They wouldn't need sleeping bags, zombies don't sleep.
They couldn't die from hypothermia.
GORP could now stand for, "Good Old Real People".
No issues with hiker funk. NOBO could stand for, "Necrobiotic Obnoxious Body Odor."
They could survive by eating hiker brains. Okay, so they'd have to search around a bit.
They'd keep the shelter mice under control. And BSA troops too.

I wonder if Spielberg is looking for a project....
