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 MSR Flex 3 System Cookset:

I purchased this set in spite of it's already stated shortcomings (single pot lid & flimsy, difficult-to-migrate Talon handle) because I felt I could deal with these in order to get a lightweight, nested set of mostly quality backpacking cooking/mess gear for our family of four (2 young kids & us). And yes I know this is a set for 3. I planned on buying an extra mug & plate... still more compact than the Flex 4. The deal breaker was the mug design. The stainless interior rolls over to make the exterior rim of the mug. Since 75%+ of what we will drink from these mugs will be hot, the stainless rim reaches the same scalding temperature as the contents (coffee, tea, cocoa, soup). This makes for a perfect surface to SEAR your lower lip on. Not something I wish to do on day 1 of a multi-day trip. Fortunately we tested it at home and concluded there was no acceptable solution (we experimented covering the rim with 2 layers of electrical tape for example, just to see if that would drop the temp to an acceptable level... nope). So... the cups became, for us, unusable which pretty much cancels out the "compact" and "nesting" if we use our own insulated mugs. The Flex 3 becomes an almost standard pot set at that point, and our legacy MSR cookset is easily equal or better. Then the lack of a second lid and less-than-ideal Talon handle make the set seem flakey or lame at best.

Comments about MSR Flex 3 System Cookset:

I love the flexibility of the set. I can adjust what I am bringing based on the number in our party. Rounded edges make more efficient transfer of heat. Talon handle works wonderfully and interchanges easily. The cups are extremely functional, retain heat, and are easy to clean. Bowls work for pretty much any kind of meal. I bought the optional skillet to go along with this set and it covers pretty much every backcountry scenario from minimalist to comfort-minded expedition.
