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.

Follow the incredible path that adventurer Mike Horn blazed around the Artic Circle over 2 years and 3 months in Conquering the Impossible: My 12,000-Mile Journey Around the Arctic Circle .

Author: Mike Horn

St. Martin's Press; copyright 2007

In August 2002, Mike Horn set out to travel 12,000 miles around the globe at the Arctic Circle, alone and without motorized transportation. This narrative is the gripping account of Horn's grueling 27-month expedition by foot, ski, mountain bike, kayak, catamaran, and monohull sailboat through extreme conditions that nearly cost him his life. Enduring temperatures colder than 75 degrees F below 0, Horn battled hazards including trekking on unstable ice that plunged him into frigid waters, encounters with polar bears so close he felt their breath on his face. severe frostbite in his fingers, and a fire that destroyed all of his equipment and nearly burned him alive. From the hair-raising dangers that Horn faced alone in the vast tundra to his amusing and inspiring encounters with the hardy inhabitants of the remotest corners of the earth, this adrenaline-filled tale chronicles one man's unrelenting desire to push the limits of what is humanly possible.

Made in USA.
