    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 Shimano HG-50 8-Speed Cassette:

    [...]. I bought two. Originally I didn't like it, but now I'm quite happy with it and my usual riding gear is right in the dead center of the cassette range. I tend to ride in one gear most of the time, so having a cassette that doesn't cost me a fortune to replace is important for my wallet. This cassette is a nice compromise between quality and price.It does seem a little bit "weak" as the teeth have bent on the cogs. I don't shift under load, thus the cogs seem to have bent under normal riding conditions. However, the degree of bend has not been enough to be a problem, and even if it was it's made of steel so the temporary fix of bending the teeth back is a plausible solution.
