    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.

    The Climb of My Life tells the inspirational story of Kelly Perkins, heart transplant recipient and mountain climber.

    • Author: Kelly Perkins
    • Hardcover; 244 pages; color photographs
    • Roman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.; copyright 2007

    When Kelly Perkins learned she needed a heart transplant at age 30, she thought the active healthy life she loved was over. Diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease that inflames the heart muscles, she was at one point given a week to live. From the brink of death to the summit of the Matterhorn, Kelly, with the support of her husband, Craig, not only survived the transplant surgery, but became the first heart transplant recipient to summit some of the world's most recognized peaks.The Climb of my Life tells the story of Kelly's transplant, recovery, and ascents up such mountains as Kilimanjaro—all on a borrowed heart.

    Kelly's climbs have garnered worldwide attention as she strives to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation and the incredible impact it can have on people's lives. Her inspirational story highlights the ability of the human body and spirit to overcome great obstacles, as well as the value of personal support and encouragement. Written with grace and humor, The Climb of My Life shares painful valleys and exhilarating summits of Kelly's remarkable journey.

    Made in USA.
