Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Dick's Sporting Goods.
Price Match + ScoreCard Points + Sale
Request a price match on sale-priced items if a competitor has them lower. Earn full ScoreCard points on the matched price and bank toward a $10 reward certificate.
ScoreCard Certificate + Clearance Price
Apply a banked ScoreCard reward certificate on top of already-clearanced items. A $50 clearance item with a $10 reward certificate drops the effective price to $40 — maximizing value per dollar spent.
Email Coupon + Brand Event
Brand events and email coupons occasionally stack — check the terms on each promotion. When they do, the combined discount can reach 30-40% on premium athletic brands.
Back to School + Team Equipment
Back-to-school season brings the best prices on team sports equipment. Buy in bulk for a team or family to hit higher ScoreCard point thresholds and earn reward certificates faster.
