For all of you who have spent some money at REI last year, now is the time to profit from their yearly dividend!
Log in to their website and find out how much you are getting back
I'm a little ashamed to say I currently have $95 to spend there.... I spent way too much money at that damn store last year. To tell you the truth, I don't even like REI anymore. It's just too pricey. I'll use that dividend and stick to Adventure16 and local mountaineering shops from now on
What will you get??
I'm thinking a new ice axe or perhaps a day pack... or a bivy? Ah, the possibilities.

It's fine in here.
I got $22 bucks. I have no idea how the hell I managed to have that much, but hey, I'm happy. Probably has something to do with Xmas and buying an expensive headlamp and stuff.
I need a million of everything.

$130 for me. I thought I was getting screwed, but apparently that's a lot. I spent some dough there last year, let me tell you!

I've got an REI Visa. Honestly, it doesn't seem like it has that good of a rate of reward.

Adventure Nomads in JTree, Mammoth Lakes Mountaineering Shop, etc. Adventure16 is a good one!
Yeah, A16 is as close as we come to a real mountain shop in LA County. Too bad there isn't one anywhere near me.

Taco...how much for that 40 oz High Life?
Well, I called REI and asked when they would get the new High Lifes in and they said that it didn't matter because it would never make it on to the shelves anyway because of all the drunks that work there. So...I used my $3 bucks and 20% off coupon to buy a leash for my ice axe. Heel!

Jim gets all his stoves and stove accessories in the stove sector of the black market. You're spending too much time in Beirut, Jim. I'm worried about you.

Offer not valid on special orders, prior purchases, REI gift cards or E-gift cards, gift boxes, passes and tickets, shop services, rentals.
About that 20% off/free shipping coupon... Can you use your dividend with it?

went ahead and used my 59$ div and 20% coupon and ended up with some new Merrills for $15 out of pocket
That's about what it would cost.
