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 REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

Good small form factor bins at a reasonable price point are very hard to find. These are o-ringed and nitrogen purged, and water/dust resistant. I plan on using them when we can't pack our good bins due to space or risky travel. Good long eye relief, I can use them with my glasses on. Come with top/bottom lens covers and rugged cordura case. Sticky central focus, but otherwise rugged. Good daypack bins; not substitute for good 8x42 for serious viewing.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

My wife bought a pair of these last year, and having broke mine I borrowed hers for a weekend of hunting. I've used and owned a lot of binoculars, but this pair I found fantastic for the money. Particularly impressive is the quality of the lenses. Most of the time in this price range you don't find a set of lenses that match, so you always have the perception that you're looking thru two separate tubes. Not so with these. Images were crisp, clear, and balanced. Once dialed in you get a great image down to within 2-3 yards of where you stand. The 8 power gives a great field of view with ample light when in the woods. Very light and did not cause any neck strain.

Tracking lost dog

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

I bought these as a gift for my dad for backpacking trips, but ended up using them ourselves to track our lost dog through the fields in countryside after he escaped from the dog sitter. I'm not too familiar with the world of binoculars, but these were light, sturdy, easy to adjust, and bright and clear enough to follow a small red dog through a brown grassy field at 1/4 mile or more.

Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

I just recently took delivery of these REI Binos, and I am really impressed! I have several binos, all more expensive than these, but these are really nice for the money. I was especially impressed with the range of the diopter adjustment. My eyes are extremely different, and most binos don't have enough range in the diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece to bring both sides into complete focus for my eyes, but these do! I had a different 8 X 25 waterproof compact binocular that succumbed to being less than waterproof and now I'm glad they did, or I wouldn't have purchased these. Great buy for the money. Good quality of construction and quality glass lenses.
