Not while your Summit Club+ membership is active. If it lapses, you have 60 days to spend your balance before it’s forfeited.

When you’re signed in as a Summit Club+ member, the 2‑day option appears at checkout on orders with a $150 merchandise subtotal (after discounts). Estimated shipping timelines and free shipping offer do not apply to:

Products shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and international orders

• PO boxes & APO addresses
• Pre-orders or back orders
• Items that must be sent by ground or freight because they are oversized, hazardous, or flammable as identified on the product page. (Examples include, but are not limited to: complete bikes, bike frames, bike wheels, travel cases, ABS airbag packs or cylinders, kayaks, kayak trailers, SUP boards, surfboards, crash pads, cargo boxes, car racks, truck bed storage, indoor bike trainers, rooftop tents, and items containing lithium batteries.)

For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

We credit any applied cash back to your account and remove the cash back originally earned on the returned items. If that pushes your balance negative, future earnings will offset it.

Turn off auto-renew and your Summit Club+ benefits will stay active until your paid year ends. After that, your account automatically shifts to the Free tier.

You can request a full refund of your Summit Club+ membership fee within 365 days of purchase or renewal—just call your personal Gearhead to get started. Refunds go back to the original payment method and are adjusted based on any cash back you’ve redeemed, up to the full $49 membership fee (for example, if you’ve redeemed $0 you’ll receive the full $49; if you’ve redeemed $20 you’ll receive $29; and if you’ve redeemed $49 or more, the membership fee is not refundable).

Look for the Gearhead section in your Summit Club Dashboard in My Account for your Gearhead’s email and phone number.

We’ll email you a single-use code in your birthday month. Summit Club members get 10% off; Summit Club+ members get 20% off. Coupon exclusions (brands, categories) are listed in the fine print in the email. The discount applies to your whole cart.

Keep an eye on your inbox for member-only emails!

Limited-time discounts from our outdoor-brand partners. Availability and terms vary—check your email for current offers.

Yes! Your Summit Club + membership works on both Backcountry and Competitive Cyclist. Sign in with the same email address on either site, and you’ll see your cash back balance and free-shipping eligibility at checkout. All qualifying gear you buy on Competitive Cyclist also earns 10% instant cash back and drops into the same balance you can spend on either site.

Expedition Perks sunset on 8/13/2025, and we’re excited to usher in its next-generation replacement: Summit Club. Over the past year, members told us that the old points-for-$5 rewards system felt a little confusing and that what they wanted was something simpler—cash back you can see in dollars—plus meaningful perks like faster shipping and easier access to a Gearhead. Summit Club delivers exactly that with a straightforward 10% cash back earn rate, free 2-day shipping on qualifying orders, and your own dedicated Gearhead.

If you had unredeemed Expedition Perks $5 rewards when the program ended, we issued a Backcountry coupon code for the same amount and emailed it to you. Coupon codes expire 90 days after issuance.
