SK has noted that the different REIs carry different inventory based on the market. She noticed that the store here in Salt Lake carried lower end cycling clothing than the one there in CA where she lives.

So complain...er...comment ("complain" is such a negative word...)! It seems to work with them, esp if you are a member.

It was a couple of sales clerks in the women's section of the SLC REI that told me this. Said they could not sell the higher end clothing in SLC.
I love that your dividend is now on the compooter, so you don't have to have the piece of paper in hand. I like getting it in the mail. It's a little spring time ritual.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I wish you could get your dividend info online. I hope I get mine today!!! It would make for a nice weekend shopping spree! (Plus I have a $25 gift certificate to use with it that Power Bar gave me for some gel testing I did for them.)
I specifically did Christmas shopping at REI just to bulk up my dividend! (Plus, my mother in law really NEEDED that cast iron dutch oven so she can make something really nice for our camping trip this summer.

Sigh - I moved to Delaware and the nearest REI is about 120 miles away. Thought I had bought more stuff by mail but I guess not. My dividend was $2.55. What can I buy for that?

I got $5 and change. I don't live in a city with an REI any more. In fact, that probably reflects how many Sharkies I bought! And the $5 is too late to apply toward my $100 rain pants...
I miss REI!
