I might pick up a fuel canister for my backpacking stove. That and a Mountain House meal should take care of my dividend.

I try and buy any big item when it's on sale or with a coupon so no dividend. Add in the fact that ever time I walk in there I see all kinds of stuff I want but them remember I have enough gear to outfit more then one person for a several day overnight trip. Want vs needs and needs have been winning out lately.

I have a friend who's company did a bunch of giveaways/reward for employees and clients. They bought a bunch of Yeti cooler, inflatable kayak and some other stuff. She was happy to do the leg work and use her REI number. Ended up with like $600 plus in dividends.

(My grandson became a Boy Scout last month, the dividend will buy something for him.)

I just found out, it will be a backpack for over-nighters, and a hydration pack.

Got my first North Face jacket, their sizing makes me feel much better about myself versus Arc'Teryx. I sold all my Arc'Teryx gear after my last Rainier climb, it was starting to get a little tight on me.

That all? You should spend more with them.

LOL, actually, a bit of that was an REI credit card that pays cash back even if you are shopping at Safeway etc etc. So the detail was thus:

Dividenable sales - $39.12

CC purchases REI 5% back - $44.93
CC Grocery purchases - $8.75
CC Other purchases - $292.59

Total $385.39

Re: Semper Fi

No. It is a velcro patch I had. It covers a Yeti Logo that had a felt construction - sits pretty secure too, I don't think it will fall off very easily.

$32 . I don't spend much with them since they have really slimmed down on their tall clothing line.

I don't remember going to REI this past year but I got $32 from them. I bought a pair of Olukai flip flops that I've been eyeing.
