Away doesn’t give first responders a discount, but Rakuten has an Away store page, so cash back is the way to save. Away’s own community discount takes 10% off sitewide for veterans, active military, medical personnel, teachers and students, and first responders aren’t one of those groups. ID.me says it isn’t aware that Away offers first responders a discount either.
Away sells luggage that it describes as thoughtfully designed by travelers, for travelers, including carry-ons, a large suitcase, a weekender and a garment duffle. If you’re buying a bag for a family trip, or a gift for someone who is, luggage orders add up quickly, which is when a bit back is worth setting up.
How To Get The Away Luggage First Responder Discount
There’s no first responder code to use, so cash back through Rakuten is the route that works:
- Create a free Rakuten account, or sign in if you already have one.
- Open Rakuten’s Away store page, using the button below.
- Click Shop Now, which takes you to Away’s site.
- Choose your bag in that same visit and check out normally. Rakuten emails you when Cash Back is added to your account after a qualifying purchase.
We don’t print a rate because the figure moves, so read the current one on Rakuten’s page before you order.
What The Community Discount Covers
Away’s community discount is 10% off sitewide when you verify with ID.me, and it can’t be combined with any other promotion or discount code. ID.me’s store page lists the 10% for military and veterans. First responders aren’t named, so unless you or someone in your household also fits one of the listed groups, it isn’t yours to use.
What Doesn’t Earn Cash Back
Rakuten says Cash Back isn’t available on gift cards or on purchases made with gift cards, so a gift card order earns nothing. It also says using coupon codes that aren’t listed on Rakuten may void Cash Back, so if you’re holding a code from somewhere else, decide which one you want before you check out.
Other Places To Look
Fluz has an Away page, but it’s for a virtual card you pay with, so it’s a payment feature and not an Away offer. We didn’t find an Away page on TopCashback, Active Junky, Hoopla Doopla or MaxRebates. If you use one of those sites, it’s worth searching it for Away yourself.
