REI Members get back an estimated $ 5.50 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

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.

Data Transfer

Comments about Polar FlowLink Data Transfer Unit:

This thing worked first time, right out of the box. The Polar website has limited usefulness, but it is nice to track your workouts. Download latest software from Polar before you plug this in and you will be fine. I was using Windows Vista 64 bit. I currently have a FT40, but the upper level watches allow data transfer BOTH ways, so you can download workouts to your watch, which would be nice. I can't see how this got a one star review before this one...

Comments about Polar FlowLink Data Transfer Unit:

I have a Polar FT 40 heart monitor and wanted to down load the data, so put the Flowlink on my Christmas wish list. I have wasted hours trying to get it to work without sucess. The data has to be saved on the Polar website which is very quirky. Once registered it repeatedly failed to recognize my email or password. I am very frustrated and plan to return both the watch and Flowlink and try something else.

Sending data to Web

Comments about Polar FlowLink Data Transfer Unit:

The FlowLink transfers data very fast, easily, and efficiently. Thankfully, this is exactly what I bought it to do.

I use this unit with my polar FT7 heart rate monitor. I workout doing cardio at the gym 3 or more times a week, and use the Flow Link to upload my sessions to a free online service polar provides.

I agree with one of the other comments that said the website that Polar provides has limited features. However, it is free, after all. Additionally, I simply find it motivational to track and record my progress. They also have some nifty charts and graphs. FYI: You can even check it out before you buy the product by going to their website and signing up. Moreover, I think you can also use their website without even owning a Polar product, that is, if you want to enter your training data manually.
