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.

Comments about REI Inside Passage Wheeled Luggage - 22'':
Bought this bag for a 10-day trip to Costa Rica with Nature Air (Carbon Neutral Airline) that limits baggage to 50 cubic inches and 40lbs. Was disappointed that the retractable handle broke on this first trip.

Last year I purchased the 2008-9 model of this bag and used it on my four month study abroad adventure in Italy. On the way home from this trip I ended up with multiple delays and my luggage was lost in Europe for 2 weeks! Once the luggage was finally delivered to my door-step it looked just as new as the day I purchased it! I was impressed since it traveled through at least 4 major airports, during Christmas travel season. Highly recommend the 22" and 16" model of this bag!!!

I use this for brief business trips. It seems well constructed, but I am waiting to see how it wears over time--especially without reinforced corners. Biggest pet peeve--it tips over forwards very easily, especially if carrying even a lightweight laptop.

Usually REI carries superior products, but the Inside Passage 22 in. suitcase has been a disappointment. It was very frustrating to wheel it through the airport and constantly picking it up off the floor when it tipped over. I tried repacking the suitcase thinking the weight wasn't distributed evenly, however, the case still dumped over. It's very heavy to begin with, and I couldn't lift it to an overhead compartment when fully packed. It now sits in the attic.

I have both the 22" and 25" in blue that I received a few years ago. They have been on many trips both long and short, by plane, train and car and I have no complaints! I love the look, the storage pockets, the smooth wheels, and the smooth pullout handle that is really comfortable. Even the 22" has a surprisingly large capacity, I was worried at first but I could cram a lot of stuff in it with the expandable lid!
Infact, the 22" was RUN OVER BY A BUS and DRAGGED ~50 FEET and it held together surprisingly well! Some of the stitching came undone around the top handle, and the pullout handle was extended when it was hit so it wasnt able to retract afterwards. But that actually was in our favor since we could still wheel it around instead of having to carry it!
I loved this bag so much I am BUYING IT AGAIN to replace the damaged one. I am disappointed that they dont make it in blue any more. It was such a unique color and made it easy to spot on the baggage carousel. I really dont like the cherry color so I went with the coal. Now it looks like every other black bag...oh well, its worth it.

Picked this bag up on the fall sale. Nice construction, pretty good design and good capacity for a carry on. Was concerned about reviews that indicated its tendency tip over. Got it home, packed it multiple ways with the weight distributed differently. No matter how it was packed the bagged tipped over with the gentle push of a finger. Returned it the next day.
So notwistanding the positives this bag is a complete failure and frankly I am surprised REI continues to sell it.

The feet underneath the suitcase aren't placed at the four corners. One set is at the midpoint, so it tips over instantly when filled.
I love the design with all the pockets, and it seems sturdy. I could easily envision using it for many years if not for its unforgivable inability to stand upright, rendering it completely unusable.

Travel to Europe frequently. The size works, even with winter clothes. I like that it is stable, standing upright when packed and not needing a wall to keep from tipping over. Has come through many flights and train trips with no damage. Pair it with the small carry-on that serves as toilet and valued articles bag and everything rolls together with nothing sliding. Wheels handle cobblestones and steps, like the solid panal up the back that saves the bag from rips and scrapes going up stairs. Handle sturdy, good length and has not bent from use.

Excellent carry-on even with with the expansion zipper open. Front lower compartment is the best I've found for shoes. Bottle compartment is very convinient.
