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 Rock Climbs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire:

... you won't be dissapointed. The organization can be a little frustrating at first, until you realize the sheer number of climbs included. This guidebook won't hold your hand and walk you to the base of the first pitch. Complaints about missing cliffs are amusing to read - heaven forbid some exploration is left to the reader.

Have I gotten lost looking for a wall in this book? Absolutely.

Have I found myself a few pitches up with absolutely no idea where I am? Certainly.

Have I had far more adventure and fun on the rock with this book than I would have had without it? Undoubtedly.

Comments about Rock Climbs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire:

I just picked this book up at a shop in North Conway on the retailer's recommendation. The book was published in 1996 and is one of the "old" style guides--too much history, not enough topos and info to help you actually find the routes it describes. There seem to be only 5 maps, all of them road maps. Worst of all, the maps include cliffs that are not covered in the book and there's no distinction made between which cliffs are covered and which are not. Another big annoyance is that the table of contents is five pages into the book.

If you buy this book, you will need to put post-its on the table of contents and all of the map pages, then you'll need to mark which routes on the map pages are actually covered in this guide. Then, you'll need to find your own way to the crags. (I suggest buying Falcon's Rock Climbing New England by Stewart M. Green.) Only then will this book be of any use.

The only positive thing I can say about this book is that it includes a ton of historic photos (though the entire book is in black & white). If you really want to know a lot about the history and see lots of historic photos, buy this book. If you just want to climb, buy something more recent, such as Rock Climbing New England.
