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.

Comments about FalconGuides Rock Climbing Red Rocks - A Falcon Guide:

Of the three Red Rocks guidebooks I bought, borrowed, or stole for my last outing there (the other two being the SuperTopo and Jerry Handren books), this was by far the worst, and I barely cracked the front cover. The topos are decently detailed, although they look like they were drawn by a small child. Most of the sport climbs are covered in this book, but there's no way to tell that they don't require placing gear because the book doesn't give you any information on that aspect that isn't buried in the route description. I found the approach info to be mediocre at best. The one advantage this book has going for it is that it combines the breadth of the Handren book with some of the depth of the SuperTopo book, but it comes up being very lackluster in readability and helpfulness. If you only want one book for Red Rocks, spend a few extra bucks and spring for Handren's book.
