    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.

        I use this light daily and it's great! Very bright and comes on and off easily (doubles as a flashlight!). No complaints whatsoever.

            Best Uses

            • Front headlight
            • Night commute

            Comments about CygoLite Metro 300 USB Front Bike Light:

            I commute about 40+ miles to school/work in a day and mostly in the early morning on a road. The Cygolite Metro allows me to see through my early morning commutes these past few months. The phaser feature gives off a bright beam while still flashing to catch attention from incoming turning traffic. For the price it is well worth it. It's definitely comparable with many more expensive lights. The only annoying thing about it is that the swivel feature of the clamp doesn't work all that well no matter how much I tightened it. Other than the little nuance the product itself does the job and excels.

              Comments about CygoLite Metro 300 USB Front Bike Light:

              We take our bikes everywhere we can. At home we love long rides and on the road we love exploring. We ride in daytime mostly, but always use our lights so we are seen by others. They work well in low visibility, fog or rain.

                Very good light for under $75. Lumens to dollar ratio better than most.USB charging is great, but the rubber cable plug on the back seems like a weak point for water intrusion. Plug pops off easily. Otherwise, solid purchase.

                  Comments about CygoLite Metro 300 USB Front Bike Light:

                  I use this light for commuting in low light and daytime. The intermittent flash option is a good daylight visibility aid, and the steady beam with burst flash is great for illuminating roads and paths while making you more visible due to the beam pulses (also has a simple steady beam mode). Simple USB charging makes it easy to charge anywhere since mini usb is pretty standard.
