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.

by fromUnusual Problem Oddly, I get painful blisters between my toes when running in these socks. None of the other reviewers seem to have this problem so I am hesitant to rate the product badly based on this experience. The socks are otherwise durable and comfortable. I still wear them to the gym. The only explanation I can come up with is that perhaps the socks keep my feet TOO dry; and hence there is no lubrication between the toes. Who knows?

by fromGreat Socks I use these socks for "light" day hikes and they are great. Before I bought them I was skeptical since they are really low on the ankle. I rould not recommend them for boots. I've worn them with trail running shoes. After trying them I am really happy! I've worn them for 3 days straight and they haven't stretched out or anything. I can't speak for the overall durability since I've only had them for over a month but they have been washed several time with no ill effects.

by fromExcellent running sock-stops road heat. I use this sock for running on asphalt any time temp is in low 60's or higher. It has kept my feet from getting "hot spots." They appear to be holding up very well.

by fromDon't make me take them off! After my morning runs(5-15 miles, five times a week); similar to Mr Rogers, I'll continue to wear them while transitioning to my Keens or sneakers. I own a pair I purchased in 2010, and because of there great condition, they're still being used. Not a considerable purchase--a must buy!

by fromGreat sock! These socks have quickly become my favorite pair to wear while running and working out in the gym. The have just enough cushion for my longer runs and fit just right in both my training shoes and running shoes. They also do a great job of keeping my feet dry when running through the occasional puddle on the trail. Very happy customer in kc! Kcco!
