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 REI Flyweight Siliconized Nylon Manual Umbrella:

I take care of umbrellas. I operate them gently and stow them in their sleeves. BTW, the sleeve for this umbrella is one of the best and most secure I have owned thanks to the drawstring and clip. I bought this umbrella for a European trip. The second time I opened it, open-loop wires in the canopy frame caught the edge of the fabric, threatening to poke through and rip the fabric and it occurred more than once. Despite my being careful about this, I believe this design flaw is the reason a rib failed.

With careful care, not being used in windy conditions and being stowed properly, one of the fiberglass ribs began to break after only four uses. It was still usable as reasonable shelter until the rib completely severed. I had to buy another umbrella overseas. I used it for no more than three lightly-rainy days. It is a big disappointment.

I love this umbrella. It's sturdy,light and stylish. I have it for a year. I carry it in my bag at all time. And it has resisted the strong wings of New England!
