If you shop at EMS, you should join their rewards program. The best benefit of all, is that you earn points with every dollar you spend, and similar to the REI dividend you get every year, EMS also does this with their program. It makes perfect sense that if you can get some cash towards more gear buy buying the gear you were going to get anyways, why wouldn’t you?

Now to figure out what I will spend my $26 on…

Did you get a reward back? If so – what will you be putting it towards? End of season gear sales? New gear for the spring?
