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.

I have a 50oz camelbak fanny pack which works well in fall & winter but as the weather gets hotter I need to pack more water. A 32oz camelbak water bottle with this adapter is perfect

Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:

I walked into a sporting goods store and found this item. It was just what I was looking for. As an umpire for youth softball games the ablility to have a source of hydration near by is essential. However where or how do you carry enough water without becoming an obstruction in the field of play? Solution was met with this adapter, I can hang a water bottle outside of the fence and still access the water when I need a drink without having to enter a team dugout and weaving in and out of players entering or leaving the area. This makes it look professional and keeping the water bottle out of the play. I have heard of people using a pack on the fence but it may obscure a fans view. I would encourage the use of this item when hands need to be free. I occationally hike short treks and a water bottle will meet my needs. A bottle packed in my waist pack will keep my hands free.

Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:

I do a lot of desert hiking, and I have a real problem with hydration packs: I can't really tell how my water supply is holding out. I have had a few occasions where I have consumed far more water than I thought I had used, and it had become a constant frustration on longer hikes.

I use this tube and several one-liter bottles on longer desert hikes, where I may be away from water for several hours at a time. The advantage is that I know whenever I go through a liter of water, so I always have a pretty good idea of where my water supply stands. It works much better for me than a hydration bladder, and I no longer find myself running short before I get to my next water stop.

Comments about CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adapter:

I've only been after Camelbak about this for two years....I am glad to see it finally make it into production. It allows me to use the Camelbak bottles and not have to bring them directly to my lips.

(Yeah I know you might say: "why not just wear a camelbak ?", but while doing paddle sports, having that on my back and the straps over my shoulders can be uncomfortable and unbalanced...the bottle with the hose is a better solution. I had built a couple of my own...but without a valve to let air in...it doesn't work well. THIS IS THE solution !)

The only thing that would make it better is if the connection to the bottle were a little more secure (i.e. screw in).

Overall I am very happy with what they have done.
