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.

- Author: Gail D. Storey
- Softcover; 224 pages
- The Mountaineers Books; copyright 2013
- Appendices include details of unique ultralight gear used in the story and other how-to information
Carrying Porter’s homemade ultralight equipment, they sizzle in the Mojave Desert, nearly drown fording a swollen river, wade through High Sierra snows and stumble through the lava fields of Oregon. With every step and switchback, as the trail tests and deepens their relationship, Gail and Porter each walk into the question, "who am I?" Gail, confronting dangerous weight loss and her mother’s prolonged illness back home, feels herself irrevocably changed. She encounters a mountain lion and faces alpine storms, alternately frightened by nature’s power and inspired by its profound force—finding a wisdom that 3 master’s degrees and a life in the city never taught her.
Humorous yet honestI Promise Not to Suffer shares a journey of harrowing adventures and reluctant revelations that active hikers, fans of female adventure stories and armchair travelers alike will appreciate.

Comments about Mountaineers Books I Promise Not To Suffer: A Fool For Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail:
I really felt this book was more about the author telling us about of she whined and complained about everything in life instead of telling about her adventure on the trail. The book seemed a bit like "Wild" although I have a hard time saying that as I loved "Wild" but this book left a lot to be desired.Wish I hadn't wasted my 20% discount on this item.
