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 Black Diamond Oval Wiregate Carabiner:
These new-school oval biners are awesome. They have made huge improvements over the original design. Namely, they are slightly asymmetric, which causes the majority of the load to go across the spine. This is in part why these are stronger (23kN) than a true oval (~18kN).
I like using these mainly for racking gear such as a set of nuts and a set of tricams. I also like using two of them sometimes for a main anchor point when top roping, with the gates reversed and opposed, of course.

Comments about Black Diamond Oval Wiregate Carabiner:
In my opnion, the best all around nonlocking 'biner out there. This thing does it all, its a workhorse on anything from yosemite big walls to icy alpine routes. The symmetrical design is ideal for using two 'biners reversed and opposed. And the wiregate is lighter, less prone to freezing in alpine environments and reduces the possibility of gate fluttering and accidental opening. And you cant beat the price!

Comments about Black Diamond Oval Wiregate Carabiner:
I love this carabiner. Anytime I need to get krabs to rack gear or hold stuff on my harness I grab one of these. Although I haven't used it for anchoring purposes, the large gate opening is great and the large internal area allows it to hold a lot of gear. I carry my shoes on my harness with this carabiner. I wish Black Diamond made a locking version of this.

Comments about Black Diamond Oval Wiregate Carabiner:
I rack my cams on these biners, they are great, I also have them on some of my slings. they are thin (so you can fit alot of them on a gear loop, have a good rope bearing surface, not too heavy, although it would be nice if they were lighter, easy to clip, and have an offset interior which helps keep the rope away from the gate.

These are the best multi-use carabiners. Whether you are using them as trad draws or racking cams and nuts. They are no fuss.
