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.

Comments about OnGuard Bulldog Mini U-Lock:

I wanted a mini U lock for my road bike on days where I would take my bike on adventures. Stopped by a cafe, grabbed the lock, stuck in the key. Frozen. After much finagling, and throwing the lock at a wall, I was finally able to get it open. Used it hesitantly to lock up the bike after testing that it would actually let me have my bike back, and continued as usual.

This really didn't surprise me though. The lock has two mechanisms that grab onto the U bar, one for each side. This is unlike some locks that only secure onto one side and hold the other in some solid fashion. This means that even when the lock is working normally, you need to insert that U bar straight into the two ports, making sure the lock itself is perpendicular. Then after a little more jiggling around, you can turn the key to lock it down.

Overall the mechanism is not very smooth, and has more parts that are possibly prone to failure. I don't quite doubt it's security yet, but I am doubting that I will be able to easily lock up my bike. Even worse, I don't want to come back to my bike and have to bang it around to get it back.
