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 Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

Used these twice, once around town, once in a backcountry ski trip. The third time I was going to wear them, the lens fell off right there in the case. When I tried to put it back on, I noticed the actual frame was broken. I have no idea how it happened since they were protected and suffered no impact that would break a frame, so I'm returning and investing in a better brand.

Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

I'm buying my third pair of these today. They are great, stylish, comfortable, and very affordable for polarized aviators. The curvature is nice because you get peripheral vision.

My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that when I fold them and put them in my bag (unprotected), the earpieces rub the inside of the lens and scratch lines down the middle of the lens. This is not great design for storage, but I have also done nothing to really try to protect them.

Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

These glasses are awesome. I agree that the picture and description don't do them justice. These have been mine and my girlfriend's favorite for two years now. They are extremely stylish and comfortable and don't obstruct your view in any way or give you a headache after a while. I use them year round driving, hiking, beach or any where. I had my first pair for over a year until I unfortunately lost them paddle boarding, but they are very durable. Enjoy!

Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

The picture and description do not do these glasses justice. They do have the classic Aviator appearance but double curvature gives full peripheral vision, horizontally and vertically.
Full vision in all directions. No frame parts blocking the view.
The brown tint color rendition is amazing. Crystal clear.
Also, they can be easily slid to the top of the head and the spring hinges make them feel very secure and comfortable.
Definitely worth the price.
I'll probably have to ordering another pair since a lady friend has already said she wants to borrow these. I expect it'll be a permanent "borrow"!

Comments about Pepper's Rio Polarized Sunglasses:

I've had these glasses for a few days now and I'm really enjoying them. The weathers been a little nasty lately so I havent had tons of use, but they are extremmly comftorable and stylish. I dig it. I'm typically the guy who buys $10 shades from walgreens but stumbled across these and am quite happy. Not bad for [$] (warranty as well).
