Mata, how much did you spend there to get that kind of refund? (I'm jealous BTW)


Thanks for the heads up, Y2. I have $40. Might use it toward a new tent. Apparently owning 4 tents is just not enough for me.

Ruby, I used my REI card to purchase everything and paid it off each month. The bummer is, I need gear this week-end and the store in Maplewood says I don't need the actually dividend packet but they don't have what I need. The Bloomington store has what I need but will only apply the dividend if I have the packet...c'mon mail!

It's time to get their card. I certainly charge enough.

I guess I bought a lot on sale last year. My dividend is only 27.56. :(
I know most of the big ticket stuff was purchased outside of REI cause they don't carry want I want.

I've only got like $13 but I got a Ti mug for christmas that I'm sending back that gives me another $15 (can you believe $15 for a mug?) and my Grundig radio turned out to be a turd so I'm hoping they may take it back too.

I'm hoping to get either a T-Rest chair or a MSR Dromalite bag.

bought me trailrunners and a saw from my dividends. Well, I did have to pay a couple dollars...but still. Needed the saw, and really wanted to try trail runners instead of boots this summer.

20 percent coupon will be with the dividend certificate, due sometime in early March.

I got $35.50 coming to me plus I have a $75 gift card, so a total of $110.50.

I really have no idea what to purchace. I have a brand new tent and new bags rated at 45 and 20 degrees so I am set in those areas. I have 3 backpacks that I am very happy with now, but would consider adding a new one.

I could also use this towards rain pants to go along with my Preclip jacket.

I don't know what to do.

The dividend is good until the end of the year and the gift certificate is probably good for a year. You can hang onto them until you need something, or splurge. If you get the 20 percent off coupon your money goes even further.

My Hubba Hubba was almost 1/2 price last year with my dividend and the 20% coupon.

The cold weather gear is on sale now at REI, at least it was a week ago. I don't need to do this but if I had money to spend this time of year I would look at my core cold weather insulation and look for ways to stay warmer for less weight. I have a system I am happy with now but that is an area that can get costly. Won't help much with the pending warm weather but come next winter you'll be glad you have the stuff.

I am playing with packing warm layers and a lighter sleeping bag in winter and then sleeping in my insulation (why pack all that insulation for cold weather and then not use it at night?) Always looking for ways to shed weight I guess...

They have a bunch of Big Agnes tents on sale at the REI Outlet, with an extra 20 percent off using coupon code GM224: http://www.rei.com/outlet/category/29340996.htm?vcat=OUTLET_HP_PP

I emailed REI and they said the 20% coupon will be coming in early March.

I got a 20% off coupon for the REI outlet. I had a $100 dividend. I got a set of skis for 50 bucks. I had them shipped to my REI store so I didn't pay shipping, just sales tax. I won't get to use them until next year but for a recreational skiier that's a great deal. Rossignol too.
