Do you love exploring the outdoors? Planning to hit a few National Parks in the next year? You should look into the America the Beautiful Pass. At only $80 for the annual pass, it will end up saving you money if you plan to visit at least 3 or 4 parks in the next year.
To earn 6% cash back on the pass, follow these simple steps:
- Sign up for SwagBucks
- Once you have a SwagBucks account, head here to buy an REI gift card. You can either buy the $75 or the $100 option depending on if you have any other purchases you want to make at REI.
- The cash back will be credited to your SwagBucks account – you can use your SB to purchase gift cards for a variety of stores like Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Home Depot, etc.
- You can either use the gift card to purchase the America the Beautiful Pass at REI.com, or you can print off the gift card and go purchase the pass in store.
