It's no secret we love outdoor gear and clothing, and we are thrilled to outfit you with the finest available (and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on top of that). We're also excited about many other things going on behind the brick and mortar—like giving back to our members through annual member refunds and discounts, taking an active role in preserving the environment, or giving back to local communities.

You can use your dividend notice as soon as you receive it to purchase gear and services at REI. Or you can redeem it for cash after July 1. Note: Your REI member refund expires on Dec. 31 of the year after it is issued. Read more about the member refund.

Get More with the REI Visa® Card

Only REI members are eligible to apply, and it's the only credit card that helps you increase your REI dividend. Learn more.
