Basically:
-$20 to join (1 time fee)
-10% back on all non-sale purchases
Details:

If you log on to the REI website you can see what your dividend is right now, and even spend it!

You can also get the REI credit card which gives you your basic 1%. That's not an especially good deal, but I've had it for years now and it's basically a free rope and/or shoes or whatever every year.

Nice!

the reason was that we took a guided hiking trip in yosemite for spring break a few years ago, and had pretty much no proper gear. so we went to REI and had to buy everything for a backpacking trip. it added up pretty quickly. one of the best days of my life lol

I thought you could get dividends on everything that was 15% or less discount?
