Savvy outdoor gear shoppers know that the best deals come from combining multiple discounts. Here's how to maximize your savings on every purchase.
Types of Discounts to Stack
Not all discounts can be combined, but many can. Here are the main categories:
Percentage-Off Coupons
These are the most common discounts and often stackable with other offer types. Look for site-wide codes or brand-specific promotions.
Cashback Rewards
Browser extensions like Rakuten or Honey provide cashback on top of other discounts. These almost always stack since they're applied after checkout.
Credit Card Rewards
Many credit cards offer enhanced rewards for specific categories. Some outdoor retailers are classified as sporting goods stores with bonus points.
The Stacking Strategy
- Wait for a sale event (holiday sales, end of season)
- Apply a site-wide coupon code
- Activate cashback through your browser extension
- Pay with a rewards credit card
- Submit for price adjustment if price drops within 14 days
Best Times to Buy
End-of-season clearance offers the deepest discounts. Spring gear goes on sale in June-July, fall gear in January-February.
