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 Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

Wag bags are great for camping, especially if you have little ones that do not want to use the vault/pit toilets. Also, no 3AM trips to the outhouse when it's pouring rain. We have the portable toilet for the bags as well. We've gotten 2-3 uses out of 1 bag vs. the 1 use as advertised.

Backcountry Camping

Comments about Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

Perfect for primitive desert camping when you don't feel like hiking for a mile in the dark to try to find a rock. Clean and neat solution for places that require you to pack out waste. Use with a tent and toilet system for privacy, or you can just use with a bucket for the minimalist approach. The "poo powder" and double bagging with ziploc system keep things 99.9% odor free (even when used with a potty tent system). The included tp and handwipes keep everyone sanitary.

Comments about Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

I have used this product for a couple years now. It does work but it requires you to carry a bucket or commode. I like to hike, mountain bike, climb, and just be outdoors so I don't like to carry what I don't have to. I recently found the Biffy Bag which is a disposable toilet like the wag bag but it comes with everything you need in a small package and is much easier to use. It is very comfortable and discrete and I prefer it to the Wag Bag.

Comments about Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

use this in the (tiny) cabin of our boat instead of a traditional chemical toilet. Much more pleasant to "clean up". Each bag lasts a day-multiple uses. The potty used comes with this folds up-saving valued space when we come into the pier & wish to store other stuff in the cabin. Would be very convenient to keep in the trunk of your car also.

Comments about Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

Why aren't these a mandatory requirement for all overnight hikers and backpackers? This is the solution for the growing problem of water pollution from human waste in the back country. It's also the most sand and sanitary method for dealing with the need to defecate areas where it is not possible to dig a hole.

Consider these bags an "essential" if you're a backpacker or hiker: nature and your fellow outdoorspeople will be much better for your selfless action.

Comments about Phillips Environmental WAG Bags - Package of 12:

We discovered this product last year and use it in our camper. We are on our third box of Wag Bags. This trip we had a bag that leaked--not a little leak--a definite flaw in the seal of the plastic bag. I would have given this product 5 stars, but I worry about the quality control of the item now.
