Does the discount apply to purchases in-store and online?

Yes, the discount applies to all purchases made in the stores and websites of GO Outdoors, Blacks, Millets, Ultimate Outdoors and Tiso.

The discount will be applied to all eligible items when you reach the checkout in the store or on a website.

Remember: there will be some excluded products and offers, which will vary by store. For full details visit DofE.org/shopping/T&Cs

Does the discount only apply to DofE Recommended Kit items from the DofE Kit List?

No, the discount applies to all purchases across all stores and websites (some exemptions apply). For full details visit DofE.org/shopping/T&Cs.

All stores offer a wide range of products, so you can make great savings all year round. GO Outdoors also sell sports clothing and equipment that is suitable for the Physical and Skills sections of participants’ DofE programmes.

Does the discount apply to sale items and special offers?

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 15% 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 15% 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.

Do I have to purchase the GO Outdoors Discount Card to get the discount off the Discount Card price?

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?

You should not have to purchase the GO Outdoors Discount Card in order to use the DofE Card. Please email [email protected] with a picture of your receipt and we’ll be able to assist you.

Does the discount apply to large group/school orders?

The discounts apply to all purchases, whether personal or group, through all stores and websites. However, each retailer also has a group orders team who can offer quotes for larger orders which may exceed the standard DofE discount.

Am I able to take my DofE group to all stores to have kit talks and DofE group meetings?

All stores aim to offer the best advice and support possible to DofE groups and participants. Due to the wide range of store sizes and formats, the services available in-store do vary. However, most stores offer expedition kit talks either in-store or at your group location.

Find your local store at DofE.org/shopping/store-finder.

What can I do if I forgot my DofE Card in store?

You can download the Digital DofE Card from eDofE or the DofE app (participants only for the app) and display it on your mobile device.

Can I lend my DofE Card to my family and friends?

The DofE Card is available to everyone who is involved with the DofE and their family. However, the DofE Card and Digital DofE Card should not be passed onto friends.

Parents and family can use either the physical DofE Card or download the Digital DofE Card to their mobile wallet, but they will not be sent their own card.

Your family can make savings on all eligible purchases across all the stores and websites – not just clothing and kit for a DofE expedition.

Do I need to go into store with my family for them to use my DofE Card?

As many parents and carers need to purchase kit and other items for their sons and daughters, all our DofE recommended retailers will accept them without the participant being in store.

Can I use my DofE Card if I’m no longer doing my DofE?

Yes, alumni can still use the DofE Card and Digital DofE Card.

When does the DofE discount with GO Outdoors, Blacks, Millets, Ultimate Outdoors and Tiso expire?

The DofE Card and Digital DofE Card for DofE Adults and DofE participants expires 31 December 2021.

How do I access the DofE Card if I don't have an eDofE account?

If you do not have an eDofE account, please email [email protected].

If you are a Volunteer, please email us the school/centre you are associated with and the DofE Leader/Manager you work with. Once we can verify your information, we’ll ask for your home address to be able to generate a Physical DofE Card for you.
