For all you campers out there, the great company REI has expanded it’s dividend program to it’s members. For those of you that don’t know, REI members pay a lifetime membership fee of $15 and then they receive a 10% “dividend” at the end of the year from purchase they made. The new(ish) feature is the REI credit card which provides a 1% dividend on all purchases.
