    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 SKS Race Blade Fender Set:

        I was always bummed on wet days that my bike didn't have braze-on's to attach a set of fenders to. Then I picked up a set of the SKS. VERY easy to install, are light, and work well. On a day when the road is wet I find that I stay nice and dry. Sure they're not as good as a set of full fenders that screw into eyelets, but they do the job.

          Comments about SKS Race Blade Fender Set:

          These are fantastic, until you lose all the rubber fastening straps that come with 'em (they get lost easily when they aren't on your bike), and aren't able to acquire extra straps from your pain in the *#! LBS. Now I'm forced to zip tie 'em if I wanna use 'em, which defeats the the purpose of having quick release fenders. Other than that they're great. I've used them pretty hard for several seasons as well as at least one bike tour and they've held up very well. Yes, you do need to have 25's or smaller tires or they have a tendency to rub on the sidewalls. Very lightweight/rugged. Maybe if they'd send me some straps from Germany I wouldn't have snow/salt mud-butt right now.

            Requires some patience to find the right adjustment. Difficulty depends on your bikes design. Best for road bikes with narrow tires. Once adjusted it is easy to install and remove. If you lose the rubber straps you can order replacements from SKS or Planet Bike.

            Very hard to install. My guess is they work best with very narrow tires (700x23) but above 23, they keep rubbing on the sidewalls. They are not worth the price. They are very light though.v
