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 Saris T-Bones 3-Bike Hitch Rack:

Sounds like a great idea, right? I recently moved into a small apartment and no longer have a garage to work in, so the idea of combining a bike rack and stand was an awesome idea.But, sometimes awesome ideas aren't realistic.... this is super light, but its major connections are plastic, which boggles my mind. That may keep it light, but doesn't provide very good fit or durability.The stand itself with a small plastic base was not good. I put two bikes on it, and it severely leaned and almost fell over (granted one was my heavy REI touring bike, but still!)And worst of all, I didn't even feel confident with the rack supporting my bike on the car! For my 1 1/4" hitch it was severely loose and couldn't get tightened down so the rack moved all over the place.Overall, good idea, but not the quality you would expect for [$]! My advice, go get the Thule Helium. It is their lightest model, holds three bikes, and is solid. Rather than the rack being loose on my car, I could literally shake my entire car by holding onto the Thule Helium - it has a nice locking component that will guarantee tightness on any hitch.Besides being rock-solid, the Thule Helium can also bend down to allow tailgate access. Something the Saris doesn't have and I didn't think would be too bad, but that is really a super convenient feature that you'll want if you have a hatchback or anything!
