REI Dividend Coming

[BlackHatGuy]

What I bought with my REI dividend:

[Steven Paris]

You'll tire of it soon enough and then I will pick it up at the Used Gear Sale for $50!

[Tyler Miller]

What do you call that? Ferr-orche-amino?

[Tyler Miller]

I got about $50 back. Hoping to combine that with a coupon and some other merch credit for a new pack…most likely a Flash 45.

And I'll even throw in the custom cuben bed cover!

[Andrew Zajac]

Do you have a supplier for the res q link that you bought? I can't seem to find it below $280. I also plan on using my 20% off on it as well.

[Stephen M]

I got mine from anchoronline 2 weeks ago.

[Dustin Short]

A whopping $2.92! I spent a lot of time at garage sales though (I have about $1000 worth of premium italian climbing/mountaineering shoes I bought for pennies on the dollar not to mention headlamps for a lifetime).

No dividend could have matched my bargain shopping this year. My gf on the other hand has the REI CC, so we'll see how much she was able to rack up.

[Chris Ramias]

I'm receiving $96 and change. I didn't actually buy much from REI this year, maybe a book or two. The majority of the dividend is from the REI CC. I make small purchases and pay it off every month. If you don't have the REI credit card its well worth getting, they'll give you a $100 gift card after your first purchase, which could be a $1 energy bar. Even if you never use the card after opening the account, its worth it for the free $100.

I'm going to get a climbing harness, ATC and some other climbing stuff. I've been meaning for many years to get started with tech canyoneering, and this year is the year I finally take the plunge.

[Stephen M]

Is there any other charges on the REI visa of all monies are payed on time.

[EndoftheTrail]

No, pay everything on time, and you won't be charged any interest or fees.

[Stephen M]

Cool.

$2.59 here. Not too surprising – I can't remember the last time I visited REI and actually purchased anything. My current pattern is to stop in, remember that I never find anything, then go hit backcountry.com instead.

> I found It better value to buy my a Q Link from an east coast outfit on sale as then did not have o pay any sales tax,.

> Do you have a supplier for the res q link that you bought? I can't seem to find it below $280. I also plan on using my 20% off on it as well.

Andrew I had the same thought. "An east coast outfit" doesn't narrow things down a whole lot. Please Stephen, inquiring minds want to know. Discount PLB sounds mightee nice.

Also BTW Andrew, PLBs and a few other categories usually are not eligible for the 20% discount. I'm out of town right now so haven't seen my coupon yet, but I'm betting same exceptions still apply. You certainly can use the dividend though…

JR,

I posted this morning where I bought it.

"I got mine from anchoronline 2 weeks ago"

Awwww, my cheapass only got $3.72 this year :(
I guess that's the price I pay for having a "never pay full retail" mentality. What should I redeem it on? a pack strap? a cliff bar? a shoelace? The possibilities are endless.

[Ken Bennett]

We put all household expenses except groceries on the REI Visa card, pay it off every month, and get a nice dividend the following year. No charges if it's paid off each month. Heck, my daughter's college took the Visa card with no surcharge. I felt kinda bad doing it, but that was about $12K per year on the card for 4 years.

Not sure what we'll do with the ~$425 this year. Might wait until July, get cash, and spend it on some cool new lightweight gear…
