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 Yakima Hitch Lock:

Using this lock with my Yakima Double Down 2 on an 06' 4Runner. This is a good lock for the money and peace of mind. When installing it I had to remove the safety pin from the hitch pin, install the lock, then replace the pin. It took a few attempts to sort this one out. Overall this is a must have product.

Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

The hitch pin for my Double Down rack screws in for some unknown reason. The first time I used this lock, I forgot it was on the hitch pin. I unscrewed the pin using the 6-inch sheet metal wrench included with the hitch, and the lock broke off of the other end with minimal resistance. The only benefit I can see to this produce is that it gives the *appearance* that your hitch is locked.

Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

While this appears like a great lock, the security comes from the appearance of it being locked. It is somewhat expensive compared to what you can get at [...]. The lock has a tendency to fall of if it has not latched correctly. I have lost mine at this point somewhere on the road as I thought it was latched and it was not.The Yakima rack I have uses a bolt that takes a one inch wrench to put on or off. Using the same wrench, the lock will easily break off without you knowing it.With the price, usability, and security of this lock, I would not recommend purchasing it. If you need to lock your hitch to your car, find something more secure.

Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

The Yakima Hitch Lock does exactly what its supposed to do. But why is it is so expensive?[$] For that reason alone I would avoid Yakima products from now on, but as far as durability, ease of use, reliabilty, this thing is good.
