Eddie Bauer Customers Face March 12 Deadline Amid Store Closures

                  Shoppers pass a closing sale at an Eddie Bauer store in Vaughan, Ont., on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026

Eddie Bauer shoppers are being urged to use their remaining gift cards and loyalty points before a fast‑approaching March 12 cutoff, as the retailer undergoes bankruptcy protection proceedings in both Canada and the United States. Court filings reveal that gift cards and Adventure Points rewards will no longer be accepted at closing store locations after this date, leaving customers with just under a month to redeem their balances. 

The deadline comes as Catalyst Brands, the operator of Eddie Bauer’s North American stores, seeks a buyer while liquidating its retail footprint. Many locations are already offering steep discounts—some reaching 60%—as part of the wind‑down process. However, shoppers should note that all liquidation sales are final, with no returns permitted on discounted merchandise.

The policy changes apply only to closing stores; non‑closing locations will continue to honor customer programs. Still, for those holding unused gift cards or loyalty points, acting before March 12 is essential to avoid losing their remaining value.
