2011 REI Dividend
Saw this when I logged in to REI today:
Looking for your 2011 dividend?
Please check back after March 14, 2012 for your new balance.
The key to success in achieving a goal is focusing not on how far you have to go, but rather how far you have come.

Can't wait, REI has one of the great divided programs for its members.

Finally picked up my new pair of Keen Voyageur's today at REI. Wooohooo!! Although the dividends are not available online yet, they are available to use at the register, which I was pleased to find out today! The 20% off coupon starts March 23. I was going to wait for the coupon to buy the shoes, but I really wanted them for my upcoming trip.
Some people take the straight and narrow. Others the road less traveled. I just cut through the woods.
I've got $400 in dividend. Problem is there is little at REI I could use for hiking equipment. I guess shoes will be my purchase and new hiking sticks. They don't deal in Ultralight equipment, so it's kinda a bummer. I'd like a cuben fiber 8x10 tarp but they don't have.

Honest - most gear lasts a long time after you pick up your big four or some apparel at full price the dividend has little meaning. It's wonderful for a year or two then - tapers down.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
Might cash out myself. I know. I signed up for it and all and am thankfull to have it but I really wish they dealt with true ultralite items.
Not necessarily. If you have an REI credit card, you receive dividends on all of your purchases - not just REI purchases.

Thanks. I had forgotten about that option. I may go that route and buy the tarp I really want.

at this point i have pretty much everything i need so everything i buy there is useually on sale which = no dividend....wish that policy would change.
I checked this morning and my 2011 dividend is posted.
Yup, so is mine. The amount makes me shake my head at how much we spent on the REI VISA card last year, but a big chunk was our daughter's college tuition.
Now I get to figure out what I want to do with it before my wife takes the whole thing to the shoe department....
Yay Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. $6.88. I always seem to find things cheaper through froogle.com and amazon.
$702.27 a new record for me.

$340.16 Another happy REI Credit card user here, it was about the same last year IIRC.

A whopping 3.95!! Yay.
Who go the smallest dividend this year? Do they have a minimum? Anybody get less than a dime?
I have the REI Credit Card as well, got 459.11, but I use it for everything and pay it off, as the interest rate is around 18% I think.

Wow, Chin, that's pretty good. We got $550, which is a personal best. Yeah, run everything thru the card and pay it off every month, otherwise paying 18% to get back 1% doesn't make a huge amount of sense....
$92 - - about $60 more than I was expecting, so that's a good thing! Must look into this REI Visa card. We travel a lot - plane tickets, hotels, rental cars - and that all adds up.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
The REI Visa is pretty cool from a consumer's point of view. (Maybe not so much from a merchant's.) You get back your 10% dividend on full-price REI purchases, 5% on all other REI purchases (sale price stuff -- this has made the biggest difference for us in the past couple of years, since we rarely buy anything at full price there), and 1% back on everything else.
I don't need any hiking gear at REI, so we usually spend the dividend on a high-cost item that we've wanted for a while. Got a great hitch-mount swing-away bike rack a couple of years ago. Covered about 70% of the cost of my kayak. One year we deferred and got a check for the full amount in June, which we spent on a Montbell winter bag for my wife. This year we'll probably buy a high-end GPS unit, and I'll see if my low-tech skills can figure out how to use it.
