Backcountry.com Gift Certificate
Available Colors / Styles
Nothin' says lovin' like the gift of gear. Isn't that how the saying goes? In any case, the recipient of one of our slick electronic “Gear” Certificates will love the convenience of receiving a gift via email that they can immediately redeem online. With thousands of the best outdoor products, Backcountry.com has something for everyone. You can order multiple gear certificates for the same amount at once, and can send each to a different person if you'd like. After you click ‘Add To Shopping Cart,' you'll need to enter the name of the intended recipient. If you want the gift certificate to go immediately to the intended recipient, enter their email address. If you would prefer to forward the gift certificate to them on a later date, enter YOUR email address so you can forward the certificate when you like. To order certificates for *different* amounts or names, you must order each separately—after you've added the first certificate to your cart and completed the recipient information, click ‘Continue Shopping,' and make your way to the gift certificate page once again. To do this conveniently, enter "Gift Certificate" in our Search box. *Gift Certificates expires 2 years from the date of purchase. **GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE SENT VIA EMAIL; RECIPIENTS WILL NOT RECEIVE A HARD COPY.
Bottom Line: Gifts made easy.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Highly recommended: I just bought one of these as a gift for a friend. I messed up the email address and customer service was at a minimum 11 out of 10 stars in helping remedy the problem. I would not only recommend the Gift Card, but Backcountry.com for outdoor enthusiast equipment. They are awesome, have awesome products and great affiliate web sites...

Everybody love backcountry.com, so a gift cert is a great idea—BUT make sure you realize that they don't send them out immediately. So if you're doing last minute shopping, you should realize that the person you're ordering for won't receive their e-gift for about 24 hours.

It can come much quicker than that though. Also, if it is last minute once you get it all you have to do is print it out so it is better than having to wait on something from the mail to get to them.

No they do not. Only the "main sites" such as Backcountry and Dogfunk which has it's own gift certificate as well.

Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a Stand up Paddleboard (paddle, leash, etc.), and I was thinking about buying gift certificates over time, and using them as a sort of layaway program until I've bought enough to cover the cost of the purchases. Here's my question; say it takes me six months or so to save enough gift certificates to make the purchases, can I ensure the model I want (c4waterman standem) is still available? Thanks in advance for your time! Brooks

So I gave this gift certificate to my boyfriend, Zachary, and he took it to buy something and they did not let him use it! So then Zachary came to my house and broke up with me because he thought that I used it already and gave it to him still! I said I did not ( since I didn't) but then called him a liar and said maybe you used and told me this lie to get me to get him another one. I have not seen him since then and hope that he regrets this! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Thank you, Angus! In itself, as a response so promptly made and thoughtfully sent, I continue to be grateful for and inspired by Backcountry and the community that supports it.
My troubles with this Gear Certificate remain (for reasons I'll mention), but I wanted to mention that I made a purchase anyway, and regardless of the fate of a certificate I have only myself to blame for its datedness, I will continue to be a strong advocate of the Backcountry enterprise.
The paper Gear Certificate issued in 2003 has an "Authorized Gear Guru" signature on it, in real ink, (name of Guru: Gilbert) and because my brother was never in Utah, I conclude that the certificate must have been sent to him in the mail - perhaps before the e-certificates became a common practice. The certificate measures about 3.75in high x 8.5in. wide, and has the logo of a mountain peak in the background, stretching the width of the card.
But besides the 5-digit code, there is no further information.

That's the most positive response I've ever gotten. I'm actually so jaded that I thought you were being sarcastic at first. Given your new set of circumstances, it would seem that the protocol for gift certificates has changed since yours was issued. I'd get on Live Chat again, explain the situation again (including that you're now sure it's the right store), and maybe they can send you a new one. You'd think the old one would be on record somewhere so they could verify it. Otherwise, assuming you already tried entering the code where I told you and that didn't work, you may just have to cut your losses. Hope there wasn't too much money on the certificate (and that you can actually get to it somehow), and good luck!

I have a paper gift certificate that is quite old...a gift from my brother for my birthday in 2003. While the gift certificate states that it will not expire, and while there is a 5-digit code stamped on the front, I do not know how or indeed if it can be redeemed via your on-line store.
I received great help from one of your staff with whom I "chatted" on-line. At the end of that conversation, I had convinced both him and myself that I had mistaken "The Backcountry Store" with Backcountry, given that the certificate listed the following website: "www.backcountrystore.com."
But when, subsequently, I searched on-line for "The Backcountry Store," every search directed me to your store. And for further confirmation, I checked other details on my paper certificate: and indeed, the telephone number and location matched up exactly with yours.
This leaves me wondering what to do with this "Gear Certificate"? And ultimately can it be redeemed?
By: Victor
January 7, 2010
When you get to checkout, look for a little link that says "Gift Certificate: Click here to redeem." I attached a photo of what that looks like; it'll be under item 5: Enter your Payment Information if you're not signed in or under item 1: Verify your Payment Information if you are. Hope that helps and hope you get your money. Excellent sleuthing work too.

One of the best gifts you can get!
By: Matt R
November 3, 2011
Actually my first experience with this was when Backcountry.com sent me an email telling me that I got $10 off my next order. The email said that it was just $10 off, straight up, no strings attached. The offer expired in a few weeks so I didn't want a free $10 to go to waste. I decided to put the "no strings attached" promise to the test. I was happy to discover that I could indeed use my free $10 towards a $25 gift certificate, locking in this free money for two years. I later used this gift certificate towards the purchase of much needed clothing. Can't think of too many places I'd rather get a gift certificate for.

I have run into the problem of stocking up on gift certificates. Ordering online did not support it. However you can jump on chat with backcountry and they will complete the order for you or even issue a brand new certificate that consolidates all your gift certificates into one.
By: Joshua Moore
January 9, 2011
Also, keep in mind that you can only use ONE certificate per online order, so don't stock up on $50 certificates thinking you can use three of them on your $150 order.
By: SnowBird
October 8, 2010
Absolutely. It's like store credit, you can spread it out as much as you want. I'd advise purchases no smaller than $50 though, you don't want to spend your certificate on shipping.

I purchased over $75 of North Face tee shirts for my husband. They are the best shirts in the whole wide world, and pricey.
I did not notice the discloser that free shipping was offered only to the lower 48 of which Hawaii is not. I contacted them to cancel my order when I received my email receipt. To my surprise, they offered me free shipping for this order. I realize this is a one time gesture, and I really appreciate that. As much as I am discouraged by shipping costs (the reason for the 4 stars, instead of 5), I will certainly shop here again. Their retail prices are REALLY, REALLY good.

The discount code on the certificate can be used by anyone. Whatever email you put in the box when you ordered it is where it'll go, so if it went to you then just forward the email and if it went to her, she already has it.

Come on.....what can you really say in a review about a gift certificate!?! Okay, every time I've gotten them they've shown up to the recipient within 1-2 hours of purchase, if you get them before the afternoon mountain time, otherwise sometimes they can take overnight. And they work at the coolest gear store on the planet:)

It can be refunded to the original card it was purchased with. This gift certificate is in electronic form via email, not a physical "certificate", working like a discount code more or less. If you by chance didn't receive your gift certificate in your inbox before the expiration date, then it could refunded if you contact at Backcountry.

Then just write the gift cert # and password on it, throw it under the tree, and you're good to go.
