Automated REI Co-op Dividend Deadline Tracking
On the first Monday of each month, WebRun opens REI, checks the Co-op Member Dividend balance and use-by date along with any open equipment return windows, posts the status to Microsoft Teams, and creates a Trello card for the dividend deadline or any return closing within 10 days.
How do I track my REI Co-op dividend before it expires?
WebRun checks the REI Co-op account monthly for the Member Dividend balance and use-by date, along with any equipment orders inside their return window, posts the status to Microsoft Teams, and creates a Trello card for each upcoming deadline. This keeps an outdoor program's dividend and returns from expiring unused.
- Dividend balances get used before the deadline instead of expiring
- Return windows get a Trello card before they close
- Program team sees the status in Teams without checking REI manually
Built for outdoor program managers · REI Co-op members · school or club gear coordinators · outdoor gear librarians

Questions, answered
Will it spend the dividend or start a return for me?
No. WebRun only tracks the balance and deadlines. Redeeming the dividend and starting a return are actions a person takes on REI directly.
How is the dividend use-by date tracked?
It reads the deadline shown on the account's Co-op membership page each month, so the reminder matches whatever REI has actually set for that account.
What counts as a return window closing soon?
Any equipment order whose return deadline falls within the next 10 days gets its own Trello card so it does not slip past the window.
