Dick’s Sporting Goods doesn’t have a first responder discount. ID.me, which verifies first responders for retailer discounts, says it isn’t aware of one at Dick’s. What you can get is cash back: Fluz sells Dick’s e-gift cards from $10 to $500 and pays you back on the purchase, and the card works in the store or online.
Dick’s started in 1948 as a fishing tackle store in Binghamton, New York, and it’s now the largest sporting goods retailer in the country, headquartered outside Pittsburgh. The same company owns Golf Galaxy and Foot Locker, and it bought Moosejaw from Walmart, so if a Moosejaw search brought you here, there’s a short answer on that below.
How To Get The Dick’s Sporting Goods First Responder Discount
There’s no code to claim and no verification step, so the savings come from the gift card. Anyone with a Fluz account can buy one. The card lands in your Fluz account right away, you can pay with a credit card, a debit card, your Fluz balance or a bank account, and Fluz doesn’t charge a fee on gift cards. Fluz lists the current cash back rate on its Dick’s page before you buy.
Spend the card at checkout on DICKS.com or hand it over at the register. If you return something you bought in the store with it, Dick’s issues a new gift card for the refund, so plan on spending that one too.
Q&A
Q: Is there a first responder discount at Dick’s?
A: ID.me’s page for Dick’s answers the question directly: “We are not aware of DICK’S Sporting Goods offering First Responders community discounts.” Dick’s own site returned a 403 error to my reads, so I couldn’t look through its pages myself, and ID.me’s answer is the one I could check.
Q: Does Dick’s discount anything for nurses?
A: ID.me lists one. After you verify, it gives nurses, medical providers and hospital employees a promo code for 10% off select eligible styles, online only at DICKS.com or in the Dick’s app. Each code covers one eligible product, and a new one can come every two weeks. ID.me lists it for those groups, not for first responders.
Q: Did Dick’s buy Moosejaw?
A: Yes. Dick’s agreed to buy the outdoor retailer from Walmart, and its press release said the purchase would expand an outdoor business that Public Lands, the specialty store Dick’s launched, already led. Moosejaw has since closed its last three stores, and moosejaw.com now redirects to Publiclands.com. There’s no Moosejaw checkout left to use a discount at, and Public Lands’ own site returned a 403 error to my reads, so I couldn’t see whether it has a first responder price.
Q: Can I use the gift card in a store?
A: Yes. Fluz lists it as redeemable in store and online. The terms on Dick’s e-gift cards say they work at Dick’s, Field & Stream and Golf Galaxy locations and at DICKS.com, FieldandStreamShop.com and GolfGalaxy.com.
Q: Does the gift card expire?
A: Fluz’s page says it doesn’t, and that the card can be reloaded. Fluz also recommends treating a digital gift card with the same care as a physical one.
