Enter REI Sweepstakes for Outdoor Gear: how to submit an entry today
Ready to submit an entry today? Here’s a short checklist to guide you through the rules and validation steps so your submission stays valid.
No purchase necessary: understanding sponsor validation and opt-out
No purchase is necessary. Sponsors require a brief phone validation that includes a short product or service message. There is no obligation to buy.
After validation, you may opt out of further sponsor calls by sending an email. Your contact info is shared only to confirm eligibility and provide necessary information about the prize.
Entry windows and sweepstakes period: April 1 through March 31
The annual period runs from April 1 through March 31 each year. That predictable window helps you plan when to submit and track drawing dates.
Who can enter: U.S. residency, age requirements, and eligibility rules
To qualify, you must be 18+ and a valid resident of the United States. Employees or immediate family members of sponsors are ineligible, which keeps the process fair.
- Prizes are non-transferable; if a listed product is unavailable beyond the sponsor's control, a comparable substitute of equal retail value will be given.
- Winners are contacted by phone only and have 90 days to claim awards. Keep your contact details current and set a reminder in the hours you’re most reachable.
- Log each entry date so you avoid duplicate disqualifications and manage multiple programs across the year.
"Sponsors call to validate entries and confirm shipping; validation is required but brief."
