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 Michelin City Trekking Tire - 700 x 28:

i purchased a 700x35 michelin city trekking tire at reno, nv rei.
from handling various 700c commuter/urban tires in the store this tire had the most durable feel to it. strong sidewalls and a tough casing. store help there said it was one of their most puncture proof tires.
i was using a flimsy kenda kwik-roller tire with standard innertube. this combination was very susceptible to a particular type of thorn in reno and was getting punctured often. i swicthed to a serfas tuono tire with standard tube hoping for better puncture resistance but they didnt work either and the tire was defective.
after purchasing this tire i found a good thorn specimen to stick into this tire. the tread casing is thick so the thorn didnt go all the way through..thats good. i also have coupled this tire with a true-goo super duty innertube. hopefyully this combo will be resistant to the thorns and other road debris.
this adds a little more weight but i am on a urban bicycle anyway with internal hubs and often carry many pounds worth (~25lbs)of groceries so a few extra grams isnt noticed.
grip seems good on technical tight turns on bikepaths. tread channels look as if they would move water adequately.
hopefully durability wont be be a negative issue.
