REI dividends are out!

[AngryScientist]

anyone got their eye on anything?

[vqdriver]

i'm in need of a hitch rack but i'm paralyzed between getting a kuat on sale or a 1up. part of me knows the 1up is better made. the more practical side of me says i don't need something like that for occasional use.

otherwise, always looking for a good tent or shell. when it's 'free' money everything's a necessity....

I request the dividends check right away to remove the temptation of buying unnecessary stuff. That said, I'm thinking about a Kickr this year.

I only got $67 dollars this year since I forgot to always use their credit card when purchasing things...

It'll probably go to the baby slush fund of which I have no choice in purchases.

Gee, what shall I buy with my $2.31 dividend? ;-)

With a store nearby, I buy a fair amount of stuff from REI, but end up with a paltry dividend because almost everything I buy is on sale and is ineligible for a dividend.

Yes. I got my eye on something that's excluded from the 20% off coupon included with the ($25) dividend. Damn lawyers!

I'm considering a pair of the Shimano R171 shoes. I like the Giro Synthe helmet too but its still expensive.

yeah, i realized that too late after buying my CAAD10 there on closeout... no $130 dividend for me

instead a fun $4.XX

My wife will go on an acquisition spree……nothing cycling related.

Combine that dividend with the 20REWARDS 20% off code and you can get to some pretty good prices. I decided to finally take the plunge on a Yeti cooler. We'll see if they're as good as everyone says.

Wahoo kickr for me. Still a boat load of money, but a dividend, 20% off and three gift cards I have been saving for a while makes it slight less painful.

I think I bought them at EMS but I got really good shoelaces for $3 for my boots. I just installed my last set so I need to get another few sets.

This thread is interesting because I didn't know about the dividend thing with REI. I think around here the closest is an EMS but I use the store names interchangeably, now I'll pay attention.

Probably the accountants, not the lawyers.

more like the manufactures, who set minimum pricing guidelines and the like.

how do you put your dividend (ergo gift certificate, redeemable only @ rei) into a baby fund?
