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 The North Face Varius Guide Rain Jacket - Women's:

This jacket had everything I was looking for in a shell for snowboarding: it's windproof and waterproof, it has a snow skirt, and has pit zips. The hood is nice and does fit over my helmet (just barely), but it's not something I use often, so it's nice that it also zips off.I prefer the Napoleon pocket style from lat year over the chest pocket they've put on this year's model. With the way it's built, it's a little awkward to shove your hand into the pocket while you're wearing it.I chose this jacket over similar styles from Patagonia and Marmot primarily because the sleeve length was advertised as being a bit longer on The North Face jacket. It does seem to run a bit longer than my old Marmot shell, but I still wish the sleeves were still another inch longer--though I have long arms, so you may think differently.This jacket also offers zip-in compatibility, but surprisingly, not all TNF mid-weight jackets are compatible. I bought a TNF Apex Bionic jacket thinking the zippers would match, but they didn't. On the other hand, both my REI Windbrake Thermal vest and my REI Radiance down vest are compatible with this jacket--bonus! You'll find that jackets that have the larger-style zippers will be compatible with this shell.The only problem I have found with this jacket is that the exterior front zipper can be a bit finicky. Sometimes I have to jiggle the zipper and reseat the head to get it to zip properly. I'm hoping that this can be remedied with some wax on the zipper tracks, but it's a minor inconvenience--though one that shouldn't exist on a [$] jacket, in my opinion.
