    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 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Adapter:

      This device is used to adapt a 2" hitch bike rack to a 1.25" hitch receiver. Except that it does not fit! The adapter is too long to fit properly in the receiver, so the holes for the pin do not match. Before I bought the adapter, I called Yakima and they said that it should fit, that it was made for a class 1 hitch (I have a Civic). Upon reading the manual, it says it only fits 1.25" CLASS 2 hitches, and apparently, Yakima does not make an adapter for a 1.25" class 1 hitch. Plain dumb (!), since my rack (Kingpin 4) is supposed to work with class 1 hitches with the adapter. At least that's what Yakima told me.

      Go figure!

      Comments about Yakima 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Adapter:

      We used this with the Kingpin 4, and found that within a month, the pin to allow the rack mast to tilt down had bent beyond usefulness (used a hammer to get it out, couldn't get it back in.)Poorly designed adapter. You can see problem in picture- large plastic box at top of adapter has too small flange in center- creates too much bending for pin to take. [...]Apparently, Yakima hasn't figured this adapter out yet completely.

        Comments about Yakima 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Adapter:

        I installed a Class I hitch from Hidden Hitch (One of the most common hitches on the market) on my Mazda 3 with the assumption that this adapter would allow me to use my Kingpin 4. NOWHERE does it say that it doesn't fit some/or any hitches! [...]

          Comments about Yakima 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Adapter:

          I read the previous reviews before I bought this adapter, so I was worried that it might not work well. I do have a Class 2 hitch, though, which only costs a few bucks more than the Class 1. I used the carrier almost every day all summer with 2 to 4 bikes on it and have experienced none of the bent pins or loose fit described in previous reviews. I have also swapped it with the 2 inch adapter several times and it has worked just fine. It's not fancy but gets the job done. So I guess the lesson here is to use this adapter with a Class 2 receiver.
