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 Xshot 2.0 Camera Extender:

I have been traveling around Australia with the Xshot and it has been an extremely handy and fun accessory. It is great for traveling since it packs up small and is fairly light.

Every time I use the xshot a crowd of people gather to check it out. It's a great conversation starter.

I would highly recommend the Xshot to anyone that is looking for a way to take exciting and unique pictures.

Comments about Xshot 2.0 Camera Extender:

I was recently on a backpacking trip to 1000 Island Lake in Mammoth High Country. I used the XShot to get some great pics that allowed us all to be in the picture, no tripod required. Very compact and durable product. Easy to use and also great for videos in some crazy climbing spots. Sure is better than the typical one armed self photo.

Basic pics

Comments about Xshot 2.0 Camera Extender:

Poor design. The tighter you screw the cam on the mount the looser the base becomes...why you ask? There are metal screws going directly into the plastic base...really? This is a terrible design and good for literally no uses...screw holes striped the first time I put my cam on the base. Therefore, in minor movement the entire base and cam shakes making pics almost useless. I had to use super glue to attach the two base pieces together more tightly so it would function as intended. If they would put metal holes in problem would be solved and would only cost maybe 5 cents per unit. At the [$] premium price...they will still make money.

Comments about Xshot 2.0 Camera Extender:

This is a totally killer idea, and I'm excited to see the new version of this with hopes they fix a few bugs. First off the strap isn't durable at all and broke the first time I used it. Definitely not something you want breaking with an expensive camera on the end. Second I think it should lock down at the angle you set it. Not matter how tight I twist the screw the base still pivots and I have to adjust it again. It would be awesome if you could screw it in tight and not have to worry about. Still super fun to use and a fantastic idea for both video and still photography.

Comments about Xshot 2.0 Camera Extender:

I have been using the Xshot throughout my travels in Australia and it is great! It packs small and is perfect for those self portraits when you are in the middle of nowhere.

It's also great for taking pictures from angles that you can't normally reach. It has added a new dimension to my photography.

As I continue my travels, the Xshot has become a permanent attachment for my camera.
