Adapted from the original pricing.md brief. The Sports Deals is a D2C retailer, so the three-tier structure now describes a free + paid loyalty program rather than SaaS subscription pricing.
Choose the membership that fits how you shop
Three tiers. The free one is genuinely free. The paid ones pay back, fast, if you shop with us more than a couple times a year.
Insider — Free
$0/year
- Free 2-day shipping on orders over $75
- Early access to weekly deal drops (Thursdays at 6am ET)
- Members-only pricing on rotating featured items
- 60-day free returns
- Birthday gear gift (a real product, not a coupon)
Best for: Occasional shoppers, gift buyers, people testing the waters.
Insider Pro — $39/year
Everything in Insider, plus:
- Free shipping on every order, no minimum, no exceptions
- 5% back in Sports Deals credit on every purchase, applied automatically at checkout the next time you shop

Everything in Pro, plus:

- A dedicated phone line (not a chatbot, an actual human within 60 seconds during business hours)
Best for: Athletes, coaches, parents outfitting multiple kids, gear nerds who want the white-glove experience.
How the credit math works
5% or 10% back is calculated on the post-discount, pre-tax, pre-shipping subtotal. Credits hit your account the day after delivery confirmation and never expire as long as your membership is active. Use them on anything we sell, no minimum.
Cancel anytime
Cancel from your account dashboard in two clicks. We’ll prorate your refund to the day. No retention scripts, no “are you sure” interstitials.

FAQ
Do credits expire? No, as long as your membership is active.
Can I cancel and rejoin later? Yes. Unused credits are paused on cancel and reactivated if you rejoin within 12 months.
What about the family plan? We don’t offer one yet. We’re working on it.
Is there a student discount? [PLACEHOLDER — confirm before launch. SheerID integration would gate this.]
