Re: REI dividend
Thanks for reminding me. I remember your wife’s health issue but forgot about REI’s role. Hope she has recovered as much as possible.

The times it doesn't show up. For me, it's not showing up on the regular site beamed to me by a laptop.d_baker wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 9:47 amHis big head?greenonion wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 9:21 amHey ker0uac, what's up with your avatar photo?

Re: REI dividend
Off-topic, but...my credit score is about as high as it can be, and I sure don't have a CC credit limit remotely close to that. Or were you simply charging then paying off the 11K every month?bergsteigen wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 4:35 pm

Re: REI dividend
Monthly! Yeah, putting all of that on at once would be insane. Plus the nursing home likes to be paid on time, monthly. It got me two good years of dividends. I should have gotten a better cash back card, but didn’t want to ding my credit by opening a new line of credit, even if I was paying off without fees.Candace66 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 2:05 pmOff-topic, but...my credit score is about as high as it can be, and I sure don't have a CC credit limit remotely close to that.

Re: REI dividend
Damn guys, are we talking about financial responsibilities here or bragging about getting free money to feed consumerism? I used part of my dividend on some new trail runners and will probably put the rest towards a new sleeping pad.

Re: REI dividend
Neither. This is nothing more than a straightforward conversation about the REI Co-op Mastercard. All Co-op members receive a 10% dividend on qualifying purchases. In addition to this, the REI Co-op Mastercard offers 5% back on all REI purchases made with the card, and 1% back on all other purchases made with the card. This is the same thing as credit card companies that provide cash back or airline miles when their card is used to make purchases. A prudent consumer - who is going to purchase goods and services anyway - will use a credit card that has the features/benefits most desired by the consumer. It is actually financially educational to learn of the permissibly creative ways that others have used the available features/benefits offered by a credit card company.headsizeburrito wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 5:28 pmare we talking about financial responsibilities here or bragging about getting free money to feed consumerism?

Just trying to bring a little levity and 14er-related discussion to the thread.

Re: REI dividend

Re: REI dividend
I think this idea breaks down when you price compare against REI - you can usually get a better deal some-a-wheres else. So all you really get from REI is convenience, imo.Gene913 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 8:02 pmNeither. This is nothing more than a straightforward conversation about the REI Co-op Mastercard.
