So if you add an item to your cart and log in, you can see your dividend without having to purchase anything.

You can see it on your account page without adding something to the cart also. They got put up on the site Sun/Mon.

Huh, never really checked my account page!

$4.10. yay... yawn...

Confirmation that I didn't really buy anything there at full retail price last year.

and I got $80 - I have no idea how...

I do know that I bought a Gregory pack only to return it the same day - other than that, there is no way I spent enough to earn that large of a div...

Now I have no idea what I'm going to use it for. I wish they carried Mont-Bell or something useful.

Usually there's a 20% off coupon or other offer that takes
effect around when the dividends are announced.

Not sure how I got a $130+ dividend... oh, wait. Yeah, now I remember. And with a few exceptions, most of it's good kit for me.

I too wish they had Montbell, but can find enough Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, etc there that I'll have no problem spending it.

I'm a swine and like to be comfy in summer, so for the right price and a bit of supplemental cash a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 1 or 2 could be in my future. Also could see having a Marmot Helium or even Pinnacle bag. Heck, I like the REI Flash 30 well enough that one might come home with me.

The Asheville NC store is having a garage sale this weekend... sounds like a Saturday AM venue I'll hit.

$0.00 That makes two years in a row. It helps that the closest one is 3 hours away. I bought two canisters of fuel there last time..

Michael,
I got $72 back, and, like you, have NO idea where that came from. I DID NOT spend $720 at REI this year. I wonder if their return percentage was higher?

And, like you and Jeff, I also wish they carried Montbell..... I may cash that check and use the money with a store that carries Montbell sleeping bags.

Hey if anyone needs help spending theirs... there are those less fortunate

Didn't they carry Montbell a while ago? I got a Climbalight (sp?) vest from the Seattle store in 2002. At least I think that's where it came from- Maybe I'm freaking out...

No, you are not freaking out. REI used to carry MB bags. The facts are a bit hazy to me so those who know feel free to chime in... but my understanding is that MB America declared bankruptcy back in 2002/03 and retrenched back to Japan. REI had a terrific sale of MB products to get rid of them -- and never stocked them again, even today (bad blood?).

Anyway, the MB America of today represents MB Japan's second attempt here in the US. So far so good.

i buy most of my REI stuff from them when its on sale or through the outlet store. so i only got $3 for my dividend.

I have the REI Visa credit card which adds even more dividends with the big purchases over the year..
My co-op share was $181.00..I am ready to get my fix soon.

Hey, you could buy me that jacket I always wanted!

I could--- But I think I will purchase my summer hiking food for the season and maybe some new backpacking clothes...Sorry T-Funk maybe next season.

I'm holding you to that! :)

$132.96

Sweet! :D I don't know how so don't ask. I didn't spend that much at REI... or did I?

Anyone interested in selling me theres at a reasonable price. PM me. Thanks.

I got around $310, and I still can't figure out how that came to be. I mostly just buy my dehydrated meals there. Yeah, they're a bit pricey, sure. But not $3,000 worth. All my quilts/shelters/packs/most of my clothes came from elsewhere. A Steripen, a pair of VFFs, a bit of cycling gear, a couple pair of gloves. Can't think of anything else.

Methinks we'll all get a letter from REI asking us for money back when they discover some great error in their software!

Doug,
Did you really get $310 back? Or are you just being silly you?
