Cover Image Error
I bought this pass with the hopes of using it to access our nations beloved parks but unfortunately it was misprinted with an image of convicted felon and George Washington.
Is that a Cheeto on the front?
Great pass, but giving just one star this year because there is something resembling a Cheeto on the front, instead of a picture from our national parks.
Disgusting display of decorum
Disgusting display of decorum from the the President putting his face all over everything including this pass that has always celebrated the parks and the nature found in them. I hope we return to the original portraits of nature in the future. Otherwise awesome pass.
rei should not be selling this right now
What are we doing…? This is making me question doing business with rei. Even says for residents only right on this page. Pretty gross, rei.
awful art
I get a pass every year, I’d rather pay more than own this pass
not REI’s fault
Don’t blame REI for the pass picture. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it and don’t go.
disgraceful
disgraceful. this year's design is a disservice to the national parks.
Great card with great benefits
The hypocritical leftists are losing it and it cracks me up. They preach to be tolerance, world open, inclusive,... And grading down a great card and even want to make REI a bad conscience for selling it. Get over it. And I'm an immigrant, lol. God bless America
Love the National Parks
Narcissism requires psychiatric attention. Great pass though we love going to multiple parks a year and this pass is helpful.
not with that traitor’s face on there!
