    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 Tifosi Slip Fototec Photochromic Sunglasses:

          I originally bought these sunglasses just for biking. They are light weight, comfortable, and fit well. They do not slip even when my face is dripping with sweat. The photo sensitive lenses cut out the glare and keep me from squinting. The lenses get lighter or darker fairly quickly as I ride through wooded areas and back into the bright sunlight. I like them so much I wear them all the time as my primary sunglasses. As with most quality sunglasses, one must take good care of them. I carry the soft cover all the time to protect the lenses when in my pocket or day pack.

              After riding in this glasses for 6 months I am still trying to decide whether this glasses fit my face well, I guess it's kind of strange. Very light, excellent fit, perfect wind and bugs protection this glasses worth every dollar. I used them when riding at night and they provide very good visibility even when it's pitch dark. I am not sure if the lenses change to a dark color when riding in the sun, but they do provide an adequate protection against the sun when required. I am still not 100% about how they fit my face, but every time I put them on I forget about this little problem :)

              Comments about Tifosi Slip Fototec Photochromic Sunglasses:

              The feel of the glasses and fit were fine - very happy with how snug they were to my face even when wet. The downside was the lenses. The photochromic lenses were problematic. I generally move between light and dark situations much more quickly than the tint changes could keep up. I would think if you spent more time outdoors in bright light these would do. I liked the fit so much I returned them and bought the Slip Polarized version. I have owned interchangeable lens glasses before and had no problem with changing lenses when needed. Overall, the Slip frames get a big thumbs up.

                  The glasses are very nice looking and fit well. If you want to use these for eye protection at the Archery range or such, they're very nice. They just don't get very dark but they do get very light so indoor use at a range is good. Just not made for the Beach or to climb a Glacier.
