How long does it take to receive a refund from REI?

Typically, the refund process at REI takes about 7-10 business days to complete. After receiving the return, REI initiates the refund, and it may take a few days for the funds to appear in your account depending on your financial institution's processing timeline. In case you made the purchase using a credit card, the refund should be reflected on your statement within one billing cycle. For customers who used REI gift cards or merchandise credits, the funds are usually restored promptly. However, it is important to note that the exact timing of the refund can vary depending on the original payment method and any external factors beyond REI's control.
