How to save at Columbia Sportswear: the smartest ways

Columbia Sportswear is an Oregon-based outdoor brand selling jackets, fleece, rain gear, hiking boots, fishing shirts and kids' outerwear. Its best savings are tied to its free rewards program, so joining is the first step.

1. Join Greater Rewards before your first order. New members get 15% off their first order, with the promo code sent by email after sign-up.
2. Stay signed in for free shipping. Members get free shipping on all orders with no minimum.
3. Sign up for emails and texts. You can get $10 off $100+ for email sign-up, or $20 off $100+ when you opt in to both email and texts.
4. Verify with ID.me if you qualify. Military members, first responders, teachers and students get 10% off online after verifying in the cart.
5. Save a big purchase for your birthday. Members get 20% off on their birthday, a strong deal on a winter jacket.
6. Earn and use rewards. Members earn $5 in rewards for every $100 spent. Rewards expire after 6 months without account activity, so keep your account active.
7. Shop the sale section. Columbia runs sale sections for men, women, kids and shoes, often with over a thousand items.
8. Consider Titanium status. Spending $300 or more a year unlocks first access to sales, 2x points on shoes and other perks.

Shipping & delivery options

Signed-in Greater Rewards members get free shipping on every order, with no minimum purchase. Because membership is free, most shoppers should join before checking out. Non-member shipping rates and faster delivery options are shown at checkout. You can track orders on the order status page, and customer service is available at (800) 622-6953.

Return & exchange policy

• Window: 60 days from the purchase date.
• Condition: Original condition, unworn with tags attached. Footwear must come back in its original box, in new condition.
• How: Drop the parcel off at a UPS location, or return it at a Columbia store with your order confirmation email.
• Exchanges: Direct exchanges aren't offered. Return the item for a refund and place a new order for another size or color.
• Refunds: Credited to your financial institution within 7 to 10 business days after the return is received and inspected.
• Location: Parcels can only be returned from the country where they were delivered.

Check whether a return shipping fee applies when you start your return. Full details are on the Columbia returns page. For product problems, Columbia also has a separate warranty page.

Columbia Greater Rewards explained

Greater Rewards is free to join and gives members:

• 15% off the first order.
• Free shipping on all orders, with no minimum.
• $5 in rewards for every $100 spent (1,000 points = $5).
• 20% off on your birthday.
• Early access to new gear, member-only sales, sweepstakes and points-boosting events.

Titanium tier: Spend $300 or more in a year to unlock first access to sales, 2x points on shoes, three free months of GOES+ and a dedicated help line. Status lasts one year from your qualifying purchase date. Rewards have a rolling 6-month expiration tied to account activity. See the Greater Rewards page for details.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

Columbia offers 10% off to these groups, verified through ID.me:

• Military: Active duty, veterans, retirees, spouses and dependents.
• First responders: Police, firefighters, EMTs and 911 dispatchers.
• Teachers: Classroom teachers, principals, professors and school staff.
• Students: Enrolled at accredited US or Canadian institutions.

The discount is applied online: add items to your cart, open the promo code drawer and choose "Verify with ID.me." Learn more on the discount programs page. Outdoor professionals can also look at the Columbia Pro Program.

Price matching & price adjustments

We could not confirm a price match or price adjustment policy. Because direct exchanges aren't offered, a lower price after purchase usually means returning within 60 days and reordering, if the item is still unworn and in stock.

Payment options

Accepted payment methods are listed at checkout on columbia.com. We could not confirm the full list, so check there before you order. Rewards are applied in checkout as a discount. If you have a Columbia reward, sign in first so it shows up when you pay, and remember that rewards expire after 6 months without account activity.

When Columbia Sportswear has its biggest sales

• End of season: Winter jackets and boots are typically marked down after the holidays, and summer gear in late summer.
• Black Friday and Cyber Monday: Usually strong for outerwear and fleece.
• Member-only sales: Greater Rewards members, and Titanium members first, get access to special sales.
• Your birthday: 20% off as a member.

How to use a Columbia Sportswear promo code

1. Sign in to your Greater Rewards account.
2. Add items to your cart.
3. Open the promo code drawer, enter your code (for example, your emailed first-order code) and apply it.
4. Check that the discount appears before you pay.

If you're verifying with ID.me, use the same promo code drawer. Some offers can't be combined, so if a code fails, check its terms.
