REI dividend is here!

**yellow** · 03-02-2006, 05:24 PM

And (almost) already spent. I'm going to go get a new Thule setup for my car as I can't carry both mountain bikes (mine and DH's) with the disc brakes on my current rack.

Whooooopppeeee! We spent less there in 2005 than I thought we did, but the dividend will still at least pay for the towers. I guess it was the year before when we got the new tent, etc!

Now, I await the drying of the trails. It feels like winter is "over" here, but I've been warned that it's not.

I just when running out to the mailbox to check. I figure since Bubba is out of town it's finders-keepers.

Instead, there was a different kind of dividend in the mailbox. Us remedial types may need extra directions in how to be a foo-foo girl.

Got mine yesterday too but since I no longer live in a state that has REI mine is really really small. I might be able to buy a couple Larabars but that's about it.

Got mine yesterday too!

Didn't do much REI shopping last year... 8.71! WHOO HOO!

For the record I TRIED to buy a new pair of PI's there a couple of weeks ago but all they had were the cheapo models..

You'll have to ask your Dad. The membership's in his name (though the staff there always pronounce it as if it's my name). The dividend goes to our mailbox in Trondheim. Buuuut ... that said, they have it on the computer at the store. I'll try not to spend it all before you get here. Also your glæmma may have some dividend to spare. She uses an REI visa card.

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.

Now whether or not they are actually doing their research is a whole 'nother question. A couple of years ago the store near the town where I used to live decided to quit carrying telemark ski gear as a result of their market analyses. They ended up bringing it back because so many people complained.

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.

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 STILL haven't gotten mine.

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!
