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 Yakima Control Towers - Set of 4:

I have used just about all Yakima towers in the last twenty years or so, and these are the easiest to get on and off the car. They clamp to the crossbars and don't have to be adjusted every time you put them on and off.

Comments about Yakima Control Towers - Set of 4:

I am using the control towers with #12 landing pads on a 2011 Subaru Outback. The system is sturdy and sleek looking because it can be mounted into the Subaru's factory rack mounts. However, this setup adds 2-3 inches of height vs going with the Yakima rail grabs. The consequence of that is you almost have to buy the wind fairing to cut down on noise.

Comments about Yakima Control Towers - Set of 4:

Used in conjunction with the bars and the landing pads, in just a few minutes (we won't say how many $ later, but at least I got mine during REI's semi annual sale) I've got myself 2 roof racks on my CR-V without any cussing! Very easy to install - even I could do it!

Comments about Yakima Control Towers - Set of 4:

I've had a few of the different style towers in the past, and these are by-far the easiest to use style. I'm impressed with how fast and easy they are to install once the landing pads are installed. Best of all is that I can remove the box from the roof with the cross bars and towers still installed. Total time of 60 seconds or so.

They're not cheap (none of the Yakima products are) but you get what you pay for. I upgraded the towers with the SKS locks - also quick and easy to do.
