REI gift cards are available at REI stores, on REI.com, or by calling REI. You can choose either a physical gift card or an e-gift card, and you can get it in any amount between $10 and $1,000. Further, you can also buy REI gift cards at authorized resellers. We have more details on where to buy REI gift cards below.

Who Sells REI Gift Cards?

To find out where you can purchase REI gift cards, we contacted a variety of stores. We found that REI gift cards are available at authorized resellers such as grocery stores and superstores, and most places don’t charge additional fees or shipping. Some places only carry e-gift cards, but others carry both physical and e-gift cards. We have the list of where to buy REI gift cards below.

Note: Some of the places we contacted told us availability varies by location, so if you’re looking to purchase a physical gift card in-store, it’s a good idea to call ahead and make sure it’s in stock.

Albertsons

Note: Albertsons operates multiple supermarket chains including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, and a number of others. The brick-and-mortar stores we contacted all sold physical gift cards but didn’t necessarily carry REI gift cards. For example, we contacted an Albertsons store that said it stocks REI gift cards, but a nearby Safeway store said it does not.

Kroger Co.

Note: The Kroger Co. includes 2,764 grocery stores that operate under a variety of names. This includes Kroger, City Market, Dillions, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Ralphs, and several others. Most of these stores carry third-party gift cards, and the ones we called said that REI gift cards were in stock.

Gift cards available: E-gift cards and physical gift cards
Gift card amounts: Available in amounts of $25 and $50. Note that Staples charges a fee of $1.99 for physical gift cards, and if you have it shipped, there’s an additional shipping fee of $9.95 for any order under $50.

If none of these options work for you, REI sells gift cards in-store and online, and you can choose between a biodegradable physical card or an e-gift card. You can also order gift cards over the phone by calling REI at (800) 426-4840.

If you choose to purchase a physical card from REI.com, the card should arrive within seven business days. If you choose an e-gift card, REI will send it to the recipient’s email within a few hours of purchase, or you can schedule a specific delivery date.
