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 Thule Gateway 3 Bike Trunk Rack:

I bought this bike rack because I was planning on biking RAGBRAI. So far, that's the only time it's been used, as I tend to commute by bike, so no need to transport. The directions were easy enough to follow, so putting it on my car wasn't a hassle. The first trip it went about 725 miles roundtrip. It stayed tight. On the way home we had to stop a couple times because straps just wouldn't stay tight. I don't know if it was user error with where they were placed on the car. I'll have to see on the next trip or two it does. But for the price, it seems solid and the pieces seem like they will last (rubber instead of plastic).

Comments about Thule Gateway 3 Bike Trunk Rack:

It took me about an hour to install it the first time...might want to do this when you're not in a hurry to leave to catch a ferry and it's pouring rain as I was. However, after figuring it out the first time, it's on and off the car in minutes and holds the bikes nice and securely, feels very solid and long lasting. Also, be careful when installing the anti-sway carriages as I put them on in the wrong place (the instruction booklet was a bit confusing), and it was difficult to remove one to get it on the correct side for putting the bikes on.
