The DofE Card gives all DofE Participants, Leaders and Volunteers, and Parents of Participants a great discounted rate in five fantastic retailers in-store and online, for being part of the DofE network.
The Recommended Retailers of Expedition Kit are GO Outdoors, Blacks, Millets, Ultimate Outdoors and Tiso. From August 2023, the DofE Card is changing, and you need to sign up for a new DofE Card through eDofE and/or the DofE app to continue to receive your discounts.
You’ll also be able to get a discount at two new retailers, Fishing Republic and Naylors.
Each of the retailers has their own specialisms and we have agreed on a discount that offers the best value they can each offer.

Yes and no! Your DofE Card and Digital DofE Card is valid across all these retailers however, the terms and conditions depend on the store.
(Discounts below are based on the Adult DofE Card)
GO Outdoors
The 15% off* GO Outdoors for DofE Leaders and volunteers is taken off the Discount Card price, not the retail price. For example, if the retail price is £100, and the GO Outdoors Discount Card price is £90 (10% off) you will only pay £76.50 as your DofE Card gives you an extra 15% off. Just show your DofE Card at the checkout or input the online code and they will apply the total discount*. The GO Outdoors Discount Card normally costs £5 per year but having a DofE Card means you do not need to buy one. However, sale, WOW and other deals are exempt.
Blacks, Millets and Ultimate Outdoors
The 20% discount* at Blacks, Millets and Ultimate Outdoors does include reduced price items. So, when in-store use your card, or on their website enter the online code, for a further 20% off the current price and that is the price you will pay.
Tiso
The 20% discount* at Tiso does not include reduced price or sale items. If you are buying a mixture of sale and non-sale items, the DofE discount will be applied to all eligible items.
Visit DofE.org/shopping/T&Cs for full details.
Does the discount apply to the retail price or Discount Card price in GO Outdoors?
The DofE discount for participants is an extra 10% off the Discount Card price at GO Outdoors. So, for a participant, if the GO Outdoors Discount Card gives 10% off a £100 purchase, you pay £90. However, with the DofE Card you get an extra 10% off the discount price, so 10% off £90 means you’ll pay just £81.
Just show your DofE Card or Digital DofE Card at the checkout and they will apply the total discount.
No, you do not have to purchase the GO Outdoors Discount Card to get the discount off the Discount Card price.
The GO Outdoors Discount Card normally costs £5, which then entitles you to purchase goods at their Discount Card price. GO Outdoors are waiving the card fee for all DofE participants and DofE Adults.
All DofE Cards used in GO Outdoors will need to be activated, as the first purchase in store for each card is unique. The card will be scanned, and you will be asked for your name and email address. You can still use your card if you do not wish to give your personal contact details.
What if I’ve been charged for the £5 GO Outdoors Discount Card?
