DICK'S Sporting Goods ScoreCard Rewards is a U.S. retail loyalty program built around a point system, with a paid membership tier, a co-branded credit card, and a fitness tracking feature.
The company's fiscal 2025 Form 10-K reports roughly 30 million members as of January 31, 2026. Members accounted for over 75% of DICK'S Business sales. For smaller ecommerce brands, its earning rules and membership benefits offer ideas for designing a Shopify loyalty program.
The breakdown below covers every layer of the program: how free ScoreCard members earn and redeem points, what changed when DICK'S introduced ScoreCard+ in 2026, how the DICK'S Credit Card adds rewards on top of ScoreCard, how the MOVE fitness feature pays out points for daily activity, and the expiration and redemption rules members should understand.
Key Takeaways
- ScoreCard is free to join and earns one point per dollar on qualifying purchases at DICK'S stores and online.
- A 2026 update introduced the option to redeem 150-point redemption, while the terms still describe automatic issuance starting at 300 points for $10.
- ScoreCard+ costs $99 per year and includes $100 in annual rewards, paid in four $25 quarterly increments, plus free shipping and service discounts.
- The DICK'S Credit Card earns 3 points total on qualifying purchases, which DICK'S also markets as 10% in rewards.
- The MOVE program pays up to three points per day for hitting a walking, step, or activity goal tracked through a connected fitness device.
- Unredeemed points expire one year after they're earned, and issued rewards carry their own, shorter expiration window.
- ScoreCard+ renews automatically unless canceled, and each quarterly $25 reward expires 90 days after issuance.
What Is the DICK'S Sporting Goods ScoreCard Program?
ScoreCard is DICK'S Sporting Goods' free loyalty program that converts points into store rewards, with optional paid and credit-card tiers layered on top.
The program has a free tier, Gold status, and a paid membership. Free ScoreCard is available to eligible U.S. and U.S. territory residents aged 13 or older; members under 18 need parental or guardian permission. Gold status requires $500 in qualifying purchases in a calendar year or a qualifying purchase with an approved DICK'S Credit Card. Gold adds a $10 annual award, one triple-points opportunity, and a dedicated customer service line. ScoreCard+ is the paid membership introduced in 2026.
The prior annual filing reported over 25 million members. Because that figure is a lower bound, it does not establish an exact year-over-year increase.
How to Earn ScoreCard Rewards Without a Credit Card
Most of the earning power in ScoreCard comes from ordinary shopping, not financing. Members earn one point per qualifying dollar spent at DICK'S stores and online, and qualifying orders of $49 or more receive free standard shipping subject to shipping exclusions.
As of the 2026 relaunch, points and rewards can also apply to services and experiences rather than only merchandise. DICK'S specifically lists:
- Glove steaming and bike repairs
- Restringing services
- All-sport cage, climbing wall, and golf simulator sessions
- In-store events and clinics
Eligible services and experiences give members another way to earn and redeem rewards. Availability and exclusions vary, so members should confirm that a specific booking qualifies.
Earning with the DICK'S Credit Card: Up to 10% Back in Rewards
The DICK'S Credit Card, issued through a partnership with Synchrony, replaced the older ScoreRewards Credit Card and is where most of the program's highest earn rates live.
Cardholders earn 3 points total on qualifying purchases at DICK'S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Going Going Gone!, and Public Lands, which DICK'S frames to shoppers as earning 10% in rewards on qualifying purchases at its brands. The three-point total includes one base point plus two card bonus points; it is not three points added to base earning. Special-financing purchases earn one point per dollar instead.
DICK'S advertises a $30 bonus reward for opening and using an approved card on the same day, subject to the current offer terms. Approved cardholders can earn Gold after their first qualifying card purchase; submitting an application alone does not qualify.
Does ScoreCard+ Stack With the Credit Card's 10% Back?
Members can hold both the credit card and ScoreCard+. The card supplies its qualifying purchase earn rate, while ScoreCard+ provides quarterly rewards, shipping benefits, and eligible discounts. Point multipliers apply to base points: under the program terms, a qualifying triple-points offer combined with card earning produces five points per dollar, not nine.
Is DICK'S ScoreCard+ Worth the $99 Annual Fee?
ScoreCard+ costs $99 a year and bundles store rewards, shipping benefits, and service discounts. DICK'S advertises over $350 in annual benefit value, but that estimate depends on using eligible offers and benefits. It is not guaranteed cash savings.
Membership includes:
- $100 in annual rewards, paid in four $25 increments roughly every three months
- Free standard shipping, excluding oversized and overweight items
- One eligible free annual service or experience worth up to $100
- A 20% service discount and eligible experiences, capped at $30 off per service
- One opportunity to earn triple points on a single purchase each year
The ScoreCard FAQ states that the first $25 reward arrives after enrollment and later rewards follow roughly every three months. Each expires after 90 days. Using all four rewards matters: $100 in face-value rewards exceeds the $99 fee by only $1, and unused rewards are not cash refunds.
Membership renews automatically at the then-current annual price unless canceled. Members can turn off renewal in membership management; benefits continue through the paid term, and cancellation generally does not produce a prorated refund. Check the current membership terms before joining.
The same value test applies to paid loyalty programs: compare the fee with benefits you will actually use. DICK'S July 2026 launch offer included five $20 brand coupons that expired July 31, 2026, so those coupons should not be counted as an ongoing benefit. Separately, BCG's 2024 research found that more than 35% of respondents planned to cancel some loyalty memberships within a year, rising above 50% for ages 18 to 34. That finding was not limited to paid memberships.
How Does the ScoreCard MOVE Program Work?
MOVE lets ScoreCard members earn extra points by connecting a fitness tracker and hitting a daily activity goal, independent of anything they purchase that day.
Members can earn three points per day by meeting any one of three daily goals: three miles of walking or running, 10,000 steps, or 30 minutes of tracked activity.
The limit is three MOVE points per day, even if a member completes multiple workouts or meets more than one goal. Members should check that their device is supported and their activity syncs successfully.
How to Redeem ScoreCard Points In-Store and Online
Rewards can be redeemed at checkout in a store, or by signing into a ScoreCard account online or in the mobile app and applying the reward to a purchase.
A few rules shape how far those rewards actually go. Rewards carry no cash value, can't be exchanged for cash or store credit if unused, and are nontransferable between accounts. They can be redeemed across participating banners, including DICK'S Sporting Goods, DICK'S House of Sport, DICK'S Field House, Golf Galaxy, Going Going Gone!, and Public Lands, whether a member shops in person or online.
Not every category qualifies for redemption. DICK'S published exclusions specifically bar rewards from being gift card purchases, sales tax, prior purchases, warranties, gift wrap, and shipping charges, among other carve-outs. That means a reward works well as a dollar-off discount on an eligible purchase, but it's not a substitute for cash or a way to top up a gift card balance.
Points Expiration, Account Linking, and Other Rules to Know
Expiration Windows
Unconverted points expire after one year from earning. Standard issued rewards have a stated expiration date at least 60 days after issuance. ScoreCard+ quarterly $25 rewards expire after 90 days. Check the date on each reward rather than assuming all rewards share one deadline.
Credit Bills and Cash Redemptions
ScoreCard Rewards are purchase discounts with no cash value. They cannot be redeemed for cash or used to pay a credit card bill.
Linking a Credit Card to an Existing Account
Check that your card purchases appear in your existing ScoreCard account. If points or Gold status do not appear, contact ScoreCard support to confirm the account association. Matching contact details alone should not be treated as a guaranteed account-linking procedure.
Tips to Maximize Your ScoreCard Rewards
A few habits can help members get more value from the program:
- Pay with the DICK'S Credit Card for qualifying purchases to pick up the higher earn rate, which already includes base ScoreCard points. Interest or other card costs can offset reward value.
- Connect a fitness tracker to MOVE so daily activity adds points even on days with no purchase.
- Use ScoreCard for qualifying services such as bike repairs or glove steaming, where the program allows points to be earned and rewards to be redeemed on eligible services and experiences.
- Set a calendar reminder tied to whichever expiration window applies to a reward, rather than assuming it carries over indefinitely.
- Reassess ScoreCard+ at renewal time based on actual shipping and service spend from the prior year, not just the advertised benefit total.
Build a Layered Shopify Loyalty Program With Rivo
ScoreCard illustrates how points, status, and paid benefits can serve different shopping habits. For Shopify merchants, the useful lesson is to make earning, redemption, and membership value easy to understand.
Rivo's retention platform supports Shopify and Shopify Plus brands with loyalty, cashback, referrals, and memberships. Merchants can choose the features that fit their customers and margins, then clearly explain eligibility, reward value, and expiration. DICK'S credit card and fitness integrations are separate capabilities, not evidence of equivalent native Rivo features.
In its HexClad case study, Rivo reports over $450,000 in referral revenue in the first 90 days after launch. That is a reported customer result, not a guaranteed outcome for other merchants.
Brands evaluating earning rules, redemption options, or membership benefits can request a demo to explore an approach for their Shopify storefront.
