It hands out store credit for used gear, not a points balance, so it gets filed under &quot;recycling program&quot; rather than &quot;rewards program&quot; — and then ignored. That instinct is exactly backwards for a young Patagonia shopper. Patagonia deliberately refuses to run a traditional loyalty scheme: there is no co-branded credit card with its name on it, and no points you bank toward a future jacket. What it offers instead is a trade-in engine that pays real merchandise credit, plus the same airline-portal earning that works on any online order. Treat those as two separate earning systems and the question stops being &quot;which one is the real loyalty program&quot; and becomes &quot;which one pays more on the purchase in front of me&quot; — because the honest answer is that they pay on different purchases, and a sharp shopper uses both.</p>
