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 Platypus PlatyPreserve Wine Preservation System - Package of 4:

I use Platypii (?) for hiking and camping, and appreciate their lightweight design and compressibility. I don't usually drink entire bottles of wine at a go, so this seemed like a good way to preserve my viniferous investments. And note--buying four this way is cheaper than purchasing individual Platypii; and it's the exact same product.These little guys preserve wine well in a fridge for at least a week. I've tried reds and whites. Ports are another story--I have a vintage port that's been in a Platypus for three weeks now with no appreciable signs of decay. But ports are more robust than mere ordinary wines anyway. I have a friend who's a wine snob (I mean, connoisseur) and she was pleasantly surprised by the staying power the Platypii confer. I also have never noticed an aftertaste, and I always clean the mouth with dish soap when rinsing the Platypus out.The only hang-up is getting all the air out when you're closing it, without getting some wine out too. It takes some doing and I still don't have the knack. A "Pro" I wasn't able to describe in the field above is that in this container, red wine looks *exactly* like blood ready to be transfused. It's really cool in a gross kind of way and I never fail to point this out when serving it. Sometimes I get more of the wine for myself this way. Buy this product if you want a lot of Platypii you can use for any kind of beverage. Keep wine in your fridge, and use the others for camping, hiking etc., as you would your other Platypii.
