    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    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-Tick Remedy Tick Removal System:

            My dog and I go hiking a lot, so ticks are common for both of us to get. I can get them off me just fine with this - but trying to get them off my dog it difficult. If he fidgets or moves as I'm trying to line it up, it can squeeze or cut the tick (which is messy and disgusting for both of us).

            If your looking for something easier, I recommend the Tick Nipper. It's bigger, but much easier to use for me and my dog.

            I am buying more so they can always be with us. After 30 years I lost the first one.

              Comments about Pro-Tick Remedy Tick Removal System:

              I live in central North Carolina, where the ticks are really little. We go outside our apartment (close to a wooded area) and my kids and myself get a tick at least a time or two a week.

              This thing works great on little ticks. I have the Tick Nipper (Item # 407126) too, but it doesn't seem to work as well on the little ticks as the Pro-Tick Remedy.

              Plus, I love how it fits on my keyring. We were at Chick-fil-a last week when my wife found a tick on my daughter. I was able to take her outside and because I had the Pro-Tick on my keyring, I was able to get it off right then.

                Comments about Pro-Tick Remedy Tick Removal System:

                I have very long haired dogs and found this to be an easy solution for tick removal.

                Today I went with friends to a heavily infested area and becuase I always have it in my pack all three of us were able to quickly remove our "guests" without leaving anything behind.

                I recommend this to anybody traveling in tick country.
