How much is the next REI dividend?

REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.) is a well-known outdoor retail company that offers a variety of outdoor gear and apparel for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the perks of being an REI member is the annual dividend, where members receive a percentage of their eligible purchases back as a dividend. This dividend can be a welcome benefit for those who frequently shop at REI or participate in outdoor activities. However, it is important to note that the specific amount of the next REI dividend can vary from year to year.

The REI dividend is calculated based on a member’s total eligible purchases made throughout the year. This includes both online and in-store purchases of full-price items, as well as garage sale items and REI Adventures. The dividend percentage is usually 10% for most items, with some exclusions such as gift cards, services, and certain brands.

To calculate the approximate amount of your next REI dividend, you can multiply your eligible purchases by the dividend percentage (10%). For example, if you made $1,000 worth of eligible purchases, your dividend would amount to approximately $100. However, it’s important to remember that this is just an estimate, as the exact dividend amount can vary due to factors like investor dividends and returns.
