    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 CamelBak Antidote Cleaning Kit:

        I have an older Camelbak so did not need the expansion brackets. Going online I found I could use hydrogen peroxide (cheap and available at the grocery store) as a cleaning agent. It is possible to purchase the brushes only(they worked GREAT!), which is what I should have done . Live and learn!

        Wish there were 2 hanging hooks.

            The cleaning kit is just the thing to clean my Camelbak. BUT a second hanging hook would be a MAJOR improvement. I've got more than one reservoir and I store them clean and dry hanging from the hook.

            I tried going to REI to buy a second hook, but they aren't available. I'm not going to buy a whole cleaning kit just for the additional hook.

            The cleaning tabs get all the yuck out. Just be sure to rinse well.

              This product makes cleaning and drying your Camelbak very simple.

              Another reviewer complained that there weren't detailed instructions on how to use the product. While for the price there probably should be, the online video was very helpful.

              My only complaint is I wish it included a second hanger, or that Camelbak would make this available for separate purchase as we have multiple camelbak's for the entire family and don't need additional brushes.

              Other than that, I enjoy the product.

                Comments about CamelBak Antidote Cleaning Kit:

                Not sure why Jay Hiker had bad things to say about this kit. I am quite happy with it.
                Yes, the nozzle brush should be longer but if you clean your equipment right away, it shouldn't get so dirty that you "push dirt around".
                And, there is a product use video on the description page on-line... very easy to use and explained well.
                The cleaning tabs have the tendency to leave an "aftertaste" if you don't rinse the bladder extremely well, so that would be my only other CON, but too hard to put into a short answer.

                    Comments about CamelBak Antidote Cleaning Kit:

                    I bought this kit to clean a 100 oz Antidote bladder. I am very unhappy with it.

                    First, and most importantly, the hose brush is too short. This is a bizarre oversight on the part of Camelbak. The brush does not go all the way through the hose, so it just pushes dirt around inside it.

                    Second, the kit comes with no instructions. Presumably there is a correct way to use the too-short brush, but I sure can't figure out what it is. For such an expensive kit, I'd expect explanations of how to clean every nook and cranny of the bladder.

                    Finally, it seems that the hose would drain better if it was held straight, but the hanger does not do this. If the kit was less expensive, this would be forgivable, but at this price every detail should be taken care of.
