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 Pro-Tec Athletics Gel Force Knee Sleeve:

I purchased this item because I have problems with the tracking in my right knee. It works great for running. I used it during my bikiing and it made a skin abrasion behind my knee. It is also good for just walking around. Keeps knee in track. I would recommend this product.

Used for the first time the day of the half marathon. Held strong and kept the knee in place. Uncomfortable to wear around casually.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Gel Force Knee Sleeve:

Provides good knee stabilization with comfort. Stays cool (important - I live in Phoenix). I had knee surgery in March 2011 for tears in both meniscus pads of my left knee. Additionally, I experienced a partial tear of my medial collateral ligament in my left knee 16 years ago. Since then it has always been a bit loose. This brace stabilizes my knee with good compression but is comfortable. Haven't used it long enough to know if it will hold up over time but it seems to be rugged. It's been washed a few times with no ill effects. I'd give it 5 stars but haven't used it long enough to know if it will hold up over the long term but as far as working correctly, it is a 5 star product.
