    Including the 20% off coupon. I’m already shopping, but haven’t made a final decision yet.

    I’m aimin’ at getting the “tilley airflo hat” which I’m pretty sure is the same thing as the LTM6. They want the suggested retail price of $69, but with dividend and 20% off coupon, I should get a significantly discounted price.

    Merrell Waterpro Multi-Sport Water Shoes. Already quite a deal at $49.93 before 20% discount. I will use these on river hikes throughout the Colorado Plateau this coming summer.

    Eric Lavering: It seems to me that the Tilley Airflo is not available on REI-Outlet, in which case the 20% coupon will not apply. Am I mistaken?

    The one for the Outlet site is available now. The one for the regular site will be eligible to REI members starting next week.

    Thank you for clarifying. I wasn’t aware of a second discount, and I now look forward to it.

    Yeah, I was talking about the 20% coupon that comes in the mail with your dividend.

    You can use your dividend along with a 20% coupon as follows:

    REI.com – memb26 (one item)
    REI outlet – GM224 (one item)

    I believe the codes are reusable, meaning if you are buying multiple items, just check out/pay individually each time.

    Separately, there should also be another 20% off coupon in the mail.

    Eric,

    Check out binnacle.com for Tilley hats. They’ve got the lowest prices that I’ve come across.

    About the only thing that I get at REI anymore is “Bear Valley Pemmican Bars”. This is the only source for them in the Dallas Area. Whole Foods has the meal packs, but not the Fruit & Nut Bars.

    I know that they look like fruit cake, but I like the way they energize me on the trail. Just have to remember to drink plenty of agua.

    Regarding REI in general, any store that shows me a 4-pound tent or a 3-pound sleeping bag and tells me that it is “ultralight” is just out of touch with the way I provision.

    I wish I could use my dividend at other stores :] I ended up going with the Marmot Ion in the Outlet store. From MSRP $100 to practically “free”… just took a little patience.

    fyi: Montbell just dropped the $ on their UL Wind Jacket down to $79. I went ahead and ordered one, REI will happily take the yellow one back.

    This year my list for spending the dividend includes:
    REI Taped Mittens
    Another National Geographic Topo! state map
    Maybe a sleeping bag.

    I pile up dividend $ with my REI Visa card. As a Scoutmaster I can still find things that are useful as loaner gear and car camping.

    Good choice on the Taped Mittens. I had to pay for my pair and am not disappointed at all with them (though I could wish that they were a bit lighter).

    “I wish I could use my dividend at other stores”

    You can use your dividend at other stores, you just have to wait until you can cash it.

    I found out the 20% discount doesn’t work on the REI-Outlet because all of those items are on sale, ending with a 3 or 9 cent value.

    I got the Brunton Optimus stove (used the 20% discount), an REI Ultralight rain jacket, a couple Trails Illustrated maps to add to my collection and 4 pair of smartwool hiking socks.

    Here’s the code for the outlet site, it expires on 3/3: GM224

    Thanks Jeff. It appears REI has contradictiong statements by stating in their list of Coupon Exclusions… “Offer not valid on REI-OUTLET items or on REI Adventures trips.”
