It's that time again...REI Dividends

[Cabin Fever]

REI dividends come out tonight or tomorrow online. Due to the complicated nature in which they are calculated from my credit card, I really don't know what mine will be. Won't be more than $100, but hey - $100 to REI!



I guess this will be the unofficial "what I got with my dividend" thread. I am in the market for a new rain shell. My lower quality coated nylon shell is no longer waterproof.

Yeah hoping mine will be a decent size, but we will see.

New hiking boots and a new rain jacket.

I think I want this OR Bug Bivy: http://www.rei.com/product/684087

Does anyone here have any experience with it?

Just cause ya get what ya pay for tends to be pretty accurate, I'd be wary of something providing the seeping bag plus that extra stuff for 70 considering I spent 170 for an not top of the line bag with none of those extras.

[dragoro]

Pops my fault, thought that was a bag included system.


That seems like a good idea if your not using a tent, otherwise it's just one more thing to carry and redundant.

[dragoro]

Pops dang it, stupid auto correct.

[dragoro]

Sigh opps.

I think it's just the bug bivy for the price - not the sleeping bag. The bag you already own just slides inside the bug bivy. So the price is about right if the mesh is decent quality.

My dividend total is online now...

I love my REI dividend each year! March is a great month, weather gets much better, hiking after the long winter, March Madness and of course, the REI dividend

[dragoro]

Can you use your dividend in store or only online?

Hey! Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot about this, since its my first year as a member

Wow. I just found my dividend and I won't get too specific here, but let's just say if I spend it all, my order will qualify for free shipping

Now the question is, SHOULD I spend it all, or wait until July and request a check? It would be pretty helpful on my thru hike (starting in 3 days).

Just checked, my dividend is online today. It's quite nice. Will have some fun spending it.

[Toolshed]

$18 here!!

Use it to replace whatever breaks or wears out.

I do well. I spend about $ 60,000 a year on the card.

I'll be buying those Montbell fill camp pants I wanted and a new pair of shoes or boots.

Me, too. We run everything through the card (including the kid's tuition.) I want a new Montbell Alpine Light Parka. But I just searched the REI site for "Montbell" and didn't get any results. Oh well.

A couple of years ago we got my wife a big winter sleeping bag at a local outfitter, and just waited until July to get a check from REI to offset.
