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 Stohlquist TowMOTION PFD:

As a lifeguard and boating instructor at summer camps my personal PFD is arguably the most important piece of equipment I being to my job, and I have no complaints about this one. It's been my only source of flotation down a river only 6" deep - it got plenty banged up, but never ripped, even after two years of punishment. The range of motion is incredible, except for the obvious drag factor, I can still swim at full power if the situation calls for it. It's adequately adjustable, at least within its size; you can't make a medium fit someone who needs a large, for example.

Comments about Stohlquist TowMOTION PFD:

for three yrs i've been looking for a new paddling pfd. i've looked high and low. my rei dividend check arrived recently and back to the looking i went. the search is over people, the search is over. this is one of the best pfds on the market in the world of paddling. its incredibly lightweight. after picking up the box on the front porch i thought my order would be a split shipment and didn't contain the pfd. that's how light it is. it fits like a glove. it has more adjustment points than any i've seen before. it has three pockets on the front that can hold everything you could want from safety gear like a whistle, radio, flares, gps, food, camera, etc. note that the pfd sent is the new version, not the one shown on this site. the only difference is the zippered pocket on the front left. the new, improved version is a semi hardshelled zippered pocket as seen on the manufacturer's website. it's perfect for a small radio or gps and probably provides some crush protection over the previous version. it's also got a great built-in tow belt channel for towing the wearer in or out of a boat. the pfd also has two 4-way lash tabs - one on the front and one on the back. the description states one. sizing - i bought a L/XL because i measured my chest at 40". that's on the low end of the L/XL sizing chart. although this size adjusts perfectly to my body, i believe a S/M would have worked just fine, as well. if you're looking for a highly technical paddling pfd that is lightweight and fits like a glove, the search is over. buy this one!
