REI member since 1961. (I'm almost as old as Bob R!) This year with 2 REI Visa cards (1 joint ownership and 1 for my wife by herself),we have received nearly $300 in dividends. We too find it hard to find anything we need anymore but use the dividends for things we normally wouldn't buy. Just got a pair of Vasque Mindbender Trail-Running Shoes with the 20% coupon (page 14 of dividend catalog) & can state that they are comfortable and very light weight.
I swear by Vasque and have missed their Catalyst Goretex boots which are not made anymore. I have purchased about 8-9
pairs over the years and hope the Mindbender is a good sub, although not Goretex & are low cut.
Unlike Kevin R, we have never had a problem with US Bank and use on line viewing to check our account daily.
Hope this doesn't jinx us and we start having trouble now.
