FYI Saltwateraquarium.com gives $5 in birthday points

I think you get some for signing up and for your birthday, so makes sense to create an account and order from them, especially since they sponsor Reef Beef! There's also a 5% discount for military, civil servants, and healthcare workers: https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/military-civil-servant-5-discount/

Yeah, these guys are awesome. Great prices. I've ordered from them many times before. Anything over $39 ships free.

I've had nothing but great experiences with them. They've been my default go-to after hearing they were a family run shop on Reef beef.

The free items with every order is always nice too.

It’s annoying that your points, including those for birthday, expire after only 6 months. I recently had some expire and it makes me want to buy elsewhere honestly.

I like that their free shipping threshold is slightly less than BRS

As long as you order something it resets the clock. I still have points from last year. Plus you get a 5% discount!

Don’t get me wrong, I order from SWA. In fact, I just did (their Black Friday sales are starting now).

I just think it’s BS to have points expire in only 6 months, it annoys me more than if I never got them. Maybe that’s just me.

The 5% discount is a nice gesture but almost never applies for me since it doesn’t stack with other offers.

Only works on non-discounted / regularly priced items though.

Today I noticed that SWA sells a bunch of BRS stuff (and currently heavily discounted). Can help when you have stuff you want to buy from SWA and some from BRS but wanting to meet the minimum for shipping.
