REI Cyber Week Deals FAQ
When Is Black Friday?
Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means that it falls on November 29 this year. But Black Friday deals are no longer confined to the single day, or even the weekend. Discounts start prior to Thanksgiving, and nearly every one lasts until at least that following Monday. REI does more of a Cyber Week promotion, and runs a sale through the weekend of Black Friday, with additions coming on Saturday.
When Is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday traditionally happens the Monday after Black Friday, which means that it’s on December 2 this year. If prior years are any indication, REI will extend their Black Friday Sale through Cyber Monday. But if you’re looking to take full advantage of deals, we wouldn’t advise waiting all the way until Monday—things do sell out, especially when they’re on sale.
What are the best things to buy at REI?
For starters, anything you’d want with you when you’re spending time outdoors—gear, clothing, footwear, accessories, all of it. Whether you need (or want) hiking boots, rain gear, tents, winter coats, climbing shoes or basically anything else that will level up your outdoor experience, REI is the place to start your search—and more often than not, the place to end it.
Will REI have a Cyber Monday Sale?
If last year is any indication, they will, but there’s no guarantee that the deals will be the same or that the selection will be either, which means that if you see something you’re into, you should move fast.
