The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Bending Branches Special Canoe Paddle:

Great paddle for the price point. Comfortable for an all day trip. Has enough surface area to push the boat nicely on a solo paddle with some current.

Comments about Bending Branches Special Canoe Paddle:

We use these mostly in open bays and coastal waters and the occasionally on rivers. The paddle is very efficient and comfortable - much appreciated at the end of all day excursions in wind and chop. The palm style grip is smooth, fits just right, and has never raised blisters. Steering maneuvers are easily accomplished, though for continuous white water we'd choose a straight paddle (and some that weren't so pretty).

We purchased a second when my wife and I found ourselves vying for the first.
