Hi @swilliams25_mn1,  To receive this one-time REI gift card, you must apply for an REI Co-op World Elite Mastercard. You should receive the $100 gift card 6-8 weeks after your first purchase with the card. The gift card will be sent to the primary applicant’s address. If it has been longer than 6 - 8 weeks, I'd suggest to contact Cardmember Services for the REI Co-op World Elite Mastercard. You can find their contact information here. Hope that helps and thanks for being a member with the Co-op!  ... View more

Hey @KCRock, so sorry to hear you dropped your bottle and now the lid doesn't lock! It doesn't look like we sell the lids separately here at REI but you can get them directly from GSI Outdoors.  I believe this is the water bottle you have?  If so, here is where you can purchase the lid for that bottle. If that's not the bottle you have let us know and we'll get you to the right lid! Happy Trails! ... View more

@dmz, That's a great point on the affordable housing comment. I'm also very curious if van life is as popular in any other countries besides the U.S.?!  @cbslc, I've also noticed and heard of cities really cracking down on the parking as well! That's a good question about the restroom, I don't know anyone personally who is actually living out of their van to ask that question.  ... View more

Hi @MrDave! When you purchase the preloaded maps on the microSD cards they come in  24K resolution.  We do not sell that Garmin mount accessory at REI, but you can check with your local REI store to see if they can special order directly from Garmin. If they are unable to special order it you can purchase it directly from Garmin or whichever vendor you'd like! Happy adventuring!  ... View more
