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 Aqua-Bound Manta Ray Carbon Paddle:

Stuck with my original paddle (Aquabound Seaquell) for almost 10 years. When I started getting into paddling more often I decided to upgrade. Tried the Sting Ray, nice paddle but didn't fit my style. I'm very happy with the Manta Ray. Have used it a half a dozen times both on flatwater and so far up to class II moving water. Very light, powerful blade shape, and I like the TLC although it took some getting used to. I did get the blade to flutter a little while doing a short sprint on flatwater. Not enough to detract from the overall great product.
