Filson doesn’t give first responders a discount, so cash back through Rakuten is the way to save. ID.me says it isn’t aware of a Filson offer for first responders, and Rakuten lists a Filson store that pays cash back on most orders.
Filson is a Seattle outfitter founded in 1897 that makes outerwear, footwear, apparel and bags. If you’re buying a waxed jacket or a duffle at full price, a few minutes of setup gets something back on the order.
How To Get The Filson First Responder Discount
- Open Rakuten with the button below and sign in, or join if you’re new.
- Go to Rakuten’s Filson page and click Shop Now, which takes you to Filson’s site.
- Shop and check out in that same visit, so Rakuten can track the purchase.
- Read the current cash back figure on Rakuten’s Filson page before you buy, because it changes.
- Check your total at checkout before you place the order.
Rakuten emails you when the cash back is added to your account, and it pays by PayPal or check as soon as 15 days after your first purchase, then quarterly.
What Rakuten Doesn’t Cover
Rakuten doesn’t pay cash back on Filson gift cards or on purchases made with gift cards, so an order you pay for with a card balance earns nothing. If you want the cash back, pay with a regular card.
Filson’s Outlet section sells previous-season styles, discontinued items and excess inventory in limited quantities, which makes it the other place to look for a lower price before you click through.
What Filson Gives Every Customer
Filson offers free economy shipping on U.S. orders over $99, and no discount code is required.
Returns are open for 30 days after delivery unless an item is marked Final Sale. Items have to be unworn, unwashed and in original condition with all tags and packaging. A return for Filson Credit is free, a refund to your original payment method has an $8 return fee taken out, and returns and exchanges at any Filson retail location are free. Filson recommends Filson Credit for the fastest resolution.
Filson guarantees every item for the lifetime of the item against failure of materials, workmanship and manufacturer’s defects. If something needs a repair outside the guarantee, an online repair request carries an $8.00 service and assessment fee plus tax.
Filson also has a Pro Program, and Filson doesn’t say who it’s for or what it gives. To find out whether first responders qualify, call customer service at 1-800-624-0201.
