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 REI Thermo-O-Compass:

A neat gadget, but the fluid in the thermometer separated and the compass capsule developed a bubble over time, making both inaccurate. More of a novelty than serious equipment.

Compass doesn't work

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

Thermometer seemed to work fine, but the compass was almost useless. It had no problem pointing to my pocket knife, but even when isolated from that it never pointed north consistently. The dial gets stuck easily, and you have to balance the thing just right to have it work - but even then it's unreliable. Get a real compass.

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

I bought 3 of these for stocking stuffers for my adult children and adult wife. Recipients attached them to zipper tabs on parkas. Within 3 months all of them had fallen apart. The small size made them hard to read during the short period that they worked.

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

I have been wanting both a compass and a thermometer to keep with me at all times. So when I saw this, I gave it a shot. I have a cheap-o brand compass from a bigbox store that actually works, so I assumed the REI cheap-o would as well. I was wrong. Unfortunately the compass wasnt so great and the thermometer wouldnt drop below 50-55 degrees. (Frozen water bottle was a dead give-away that it was a tad colder than 55)

Comments about REI Thermo-O-Compass:

Holds direction. Within a few degrees of precise temperature. I'd get a better compass for serious navigation but it's handy to keep clipped on my life jacket while in the kayaking.
