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 PacSafe VentureSafe Pack:

This bag is great! I have a bit of a bag fetish, I have about 6-7 Backpacks, believe it or not each one fills a niche, at least in my eyes. I bought this bag to use as a daypack for a month long backpacking trip in Europe. I wasn't able to see or try it before buyings, so I bought and shipped it free to my closest REI store. As soon as I took it out of the box I knew it was perfect. My Arc'teryx pack has a detachable day pack but for day long touring around town it wasn't enough especially holding camera gear and a little netbook.

I picked this up because of it's security features, the steel cabling, steel mesh, but most importantly the zippers. The way the zippers hide and clip are amazing. I don't leave the zippers clipped when I am using it around town here but when I am unaware of my surroundings in a crowded area I just clip the zippers and I feel so secure about no wandering hands creeping into my bag. The slash resistance is just and added bonus in my eyes. The organization of the pockets is perfect. It has good deep water bottle holders and pen pockets and place for a sketchbook. I put thin high-density foam around my lenses and at the bottom of the pack to protect my camera gear and turn it in to a little camera bag.

The only thing I would be critical of is the lack of a waist belt. When the sternum strap is clipped it holds the pack in place pretty well but it would have benefited from a small waist strap when scurrying over rocks or doing some light hiking. Not a huge negative because it is mostly a travel daypack but I noticed this while in the Caribbean. I used it not only around the town but as my daypack when hiking to remote, isolated beaches.

The number one reason it worked for me is the fact it has no internal frame and it is light. Since it has now become my dedicated travel pack I need it to fit in my big pack when I am not using it. It does just that. It is no where near as light and packable as an ultralight but it has 10 times the security.

One last thing to note is the durability. The stitching is great and just about everything on it is metal. The back padding is comfortable and very usable over the whole day.

Comments about PacSafe VentureSafe Pack:

We bought this backpack at the last minute after reading about the pick pocketing problems in Russia on line.[...] Within 4 hours of arriving in Russia this backpack prevented a pickpocket attempt. We had the all family passports as well as cash and credit cards in the bag so it would have really ruined the trip if the pick pocket had been successful. Highly recommend as the best trip insurance ever. The bag was also very useful in holding 4 umbrellas, 2 water bottles guide book and several other things too.
