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.

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

I actual bought this for my brother as a gift, but I used it several days while exploring some river islands in FL. I used it for a heavy canoe to putin about 1/8 a mie away. The cart worked very well on hard pavement..the only place Ive used it so far. It stands upright on its own as you place the canoe on it then secure wraping straps (included)around the canoe. It worked much better than our home-made cart. Easy to turn and as you move the cart toward the middle of the canoe, the weight shift makes transport near effortless. It is much easier to get the cart in the middle by having a second person holding up one end of the canoe...I often go alone. Thus the reason I did not give it a full five stars. The product wont rust, is very durable, and folds down so it can fit in the canoe and not be left behind. Its a little pricy but I learned you get what you pay for, and I expect this to last a lifetime so Im okay with paying more.

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

I participate in Stand Up Paddle races quite often, and more times than not, the event is far from the parking. This was the perfect solution to strap on my board, paddle, chairs, cooler, etc. and get to the event with little or no fatigue. This cart is tough, fuctional & convenient. I wish I had it sooner...

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

We bought this after deciding carrying our Advanced Elements Convertible (inflatable) kayak was a bit much for longer distances. We went to the REI mothership store where they nicely pulled a kayak like ours down so we could test fit carts. This was the best fit. It can be had for less elsewhere but REI got the sale because I could test fit the cart for the job. We carry the cart on the rear deck of the kayak using velcro straps if we take it with us on the water.

Terrific kayak cart

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

I used this to haul a kayak/ for about one-half mile down a paved road, to a dirt trail, then a fairly steep, narrow trail to the launch point. Then, going back, over a gravel beach, back up the hill to the trail. This is a light, fairly wide folding kayak. The cart is terrific for all of this terrain. The boat stayed put, even when it was essentially going down a narrow trail on a hill. The trail wasn't wide enough for both tires to fit, so the cart went down the hill with one wheel up on the side of the trail. No problem with sand or gravel on the bank of the river. Can't say what it would do with deep sand or larger rocks. But the tires won't go flat. Nice cart at a reasonable price.

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

Actually as to Mindrye's comment that REI is charging more - it's not true. If you look they carry two models of this (this one and the one w/out the Tuff Wheels), REI actually has this one for $4 LESS than [@] AND free shipping.....You are right Mindrye - it IS worth shopping REI.

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

I tried a cart with air in the tires and it kept going flat, so that was a real pain and they eventually could not be re-inflated.

I tried a cart with hard wheels and it did not roll over the rocks and bumps well and it was not as sturdy and broke.

This one is sturdy, rolls over the rocks great, and the tires never need to be inflated.

The tie downs they include with the cart work, but I prefer to use Garb Tie Downs (Google them to see what I mean) as they allow me to tie the Kayak or my Windsurf Board to my cart much faster.

Bought item from REI, only to find it for less on Wheeleez website. I guess it is worth paying a premium to get from REI.

Comments about Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart:

I got the cart to carry my Mad River Canoe Synergy 12 kayak. I hand carried several kayaks before without a cart and this cart makes a world of difference. I can easily manage the vessel on my own. Check out their website for hints on using it to load and unload from vehicles. Can't really use it in my Honda Pilot because of the spoiler in the back but it could work in others. [...]
