- ✓REI Co-op membership ($30 one-time) earns 10% of eligible purchases as an annual dividend — paid out each spring. On $500 in annual gear spending, the dividend returns $50, recovering the membership fee in year one and generating net profit every subsequent year.
- ✓REI Garage Sale events (in-store only) sell customer returns, floor models, and lightly used gear at 25-75% off. These are not listed on REI.com — find dates by subscribing to your local store's email or checking the REI store page.
- ✓REI Used Gear (REI.com/used) offers certified pre-owned gear in Good, Very Good, and Excellent grades with REI's standard return policy applied — a lower-risk alternative to eBay or Facebook Marketplace for expensive gear.
- ✓REI Rental program at most stores lets you test camping, backpacking, or snowshoe gear before committing to purchase. Rental fees can apply toward purchase (ask a sales associate).
- ✓REI Anniversary Sale (late May) is the best time to buy full-price gear from brands like Patagonia, Arc'teryx, and Osprey that rarely discount elsewhere — 20-30% off is typical across most categories.
⚡Stacking Tips
- ✓REI Co-op Mastercard earns 5% at REI + 2x on dining — the 5% stacks on top of the 10% annual dividend, effectively a 15% combined return on REI purchases for Mastercard holders.
- ✓Portal cashback on REI.com stacks with the dividend and Mastercard earnings — verify portal tracking applies to your cart before checkout.
- ✓REI Outlet (rei.com/outlet) pricing + portal cashback + 10% dividend = compounding savings on already-discounted prior-season gear.
- ✓Anniversary Sale discount + Co-op Mastercard 5% + 10% dividend + portal cashback = the most savings layers available simultaneously at REI — plan major gear purchases for late May.

REI is a consumer cooperative (not publicly traded) with 190+ stores — meaning members are the owners and the 10% annual dividend is a profit-sharing mechanism, not just a loyalty point. The $30 lifetime membership fee earns back at 10% on most full-price purchases, paying for itself on the first $300 in annual spend. REI Garage Sale events happen at physical store locations (typically on weekends, announced via email) and sell customer returns, floor samples, and used gear at 25-75% off — these are in-store only and not available online. REI now sells certified used gear on REI.com year-round through its Used Gear program, graded Good, Very Good, and Excellent. REI's Anniversary Sale (typically late May) is the year's biggest full-assortment sale event with 20-30% off across major brands.
