    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

        Good concept, however the battery cover falls off easily. First trip out and my cover was lost along with the batteries. Better off getting the similar model without the light and save yourself some money.

          Comments about Coghlan's Six-Function Whistle:

          Sure, it's fun to think that so many useful tools can be packed into one small unit... but this thing is just a chintzy toy for junior's backyard adventures. The light got snagged on my pack and broke almost immediately, and the thermometer didn't seem to be very accurate. The magnifying glass and mirror appear to be of questionable utility. So, you're left with a serviceable emergency compass and whistle.

          While the unit has lots of features, the button for the light falls off easily. Since it was one of the reasons to buy it, would make me NOT recommend it again. The whistle is loud and the other aspects work fine.
          The three batteries, may not be cost prohibitive to replace. I'll look into that at batteries.com.

              We recently used this after taking a wrong turn in Madrid. It was evening, the map was hard to read and we were disoriented. The compass helped orient the map correctly, the light and the magnifying glass both helped us read the map. Saved us a long walk in the wrong direction! Good for urban traveler.

                I wanted a whistle I could use hiking to get my dog to come back when he takes off, this whistle is the best. Not only does it have the sound he will listen to but it has all the other features I love too, compass, light, temperature, only one problem I keep loosing them so this is my second order and I am ordering 4 of them.

                  Makes an excellent stocking stuffer for those friends and relatives that you care about. About a month ago I gave one to my sister and she told me the compass has already saved her from being totally lost on two seperate occasions. She also credits the loud whistle and quick thinking for saving her life. As far as I am concerned, it's worth its weight in gold!
