Fifteen bucks only goes so far... I'm pretty well stocked for climbing gear. Guess I'll get a pair or socks or something.

$3!!!! I switched to a Capitol one card and get a $25 amazon gift card ever 5-6 weeks now. REI only gets my business on sale items.

$72. Deciding whether I should kick-start a trad rack with a single cam or save it for some camping supplies.

Master Cams 00, 0, 2, and assorted biners and runners will be shoved in cracks and clipped at Red Rocks next week. Tis a magical time of year!

If you have the will-power to save your dividends for another month, you can probably get yourselves some of the new BD X4 cams. I spoke with an REI agent briefly and it seems like BD will be shipping them out on April 16th, and that you can backorder the cams before that.

Camalots are at Kmart, right? I'm getting a new cord. The dividend is an offset. I already needed a new rope. This provides incentive.

I decided to get rid of my old credit card and try the REI Visa. I guess it was worth it. Dividend is $450.00! I too am pretty stocked up on gear, but the two person bag mentioned up thread is sounding like good idea.

Or I guess you could spend it on something at REI you don't really need....

Speaking of the coupon, does anyone know when it comes out? I think you need to read a little closer next time... The people that are getting over $100 back all stated they have the REI Visa card which gives you 1% back on ALL purchases as well as 15% back on REI purchases.

Jake, It is not necessarily money spent at REI. My wife uses her REIVisa for work travel. Work then repays her for the expenses, and we get the points. Our dividends have been in the $300-$500 range!

$145 Got me the gri gri 2 and am going to purchase the micro traxion on Friday when the 20% coupon comes in, I also have the REI Visa. The REI Visa is great as long as you pay it off full every month to keep those interest rates down. :)

I 2nd the fact that you don't need to ever set foot in REI to get a fat dividend... And you probably want to wait for July to get a check for some of it (assuming your basement is as full of gear as mine).

I'm surprised this thread hasn't deteriorated into another "I hate REI" thread. I like REI! Jake, you can spend your dividend as soon as the calculated amount shows up on the REI website (you enter your membership number and name). You don't have to wait for the dividend in the mail. I've done this a couple of times.

Get your dividend working for you again. If you wait till July, get cash from them. Put the cash in your bank account, spend on your rei credit card, then pay off the balance with that cash. You can earn more dividends this way
