REI Members get back an estimated $ 37.00 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.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:

On two different hikes where I knew the distance travelled, this unit was WAY off. I walked about 4.5 miles yesterday and the unit reported I had gone 7.5 miles. On another hike, the actual distance to the turnaround point was 2.44 miles, actual elevation gain 1,722 ft. The unit reported 7 miles and 880 ft gained. Other times, it was dead accurate. Time to take it back to REI.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:

I ordered this device and paid extra for the topo map package. Upon opening the device I found it to be laggy and the topo maps I paid so much extra for were WAY out of date. There was no free update on the Garmin website. The device was slow and it took a long time to acquire a lock after boot up.

I will just be saving up for a better unit even if it costs me double. This one didn't seem worth it. If your life or outdoor experience depends on this device then save yourself the trouble and take a pass on this unit.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:

The device was great at first. Only a few problems with getting the device registered, but Garmin support helped sort that mess out. My biggest complaint is the basecamp software. Initially, the extra map packs had a minimal impact on the speed of software in setting way points and what not. Recently, I updated to version 3.3.1 and what a horrible difference. First, it takes forever to get the device to load up. Second, once the device is loaded, I cannot use any map but the simple global one that has no detail. If I try to use a different map... slower than a snail. Thinking it was a bad install, I installed it on my other computer and tried again to no avail. Whatever the programmers changed, they changed for the worse.

Regardless of whether this issue is resolved, I have lost hours of my life fiddling with this thing. That is unacceptable for the amount of money I sacrificed.
