Not Safe For Work
I was in REI yesterday and noticed the half price sign on the Gen 3 Spot Trackers (newest model). I won't say too much about the product itself; most of us are familiar with it, but it's been $149 all over since it came out, and still is, but it's half price now and through the end of July. They tell me it is effective for all REI stores nationally. No idea if ONLY REI has this price--maybe everybody does.
But if you want one, now's a good time to get it, right at the start of your summer adventures. The annual subscription fee of $100 (think it's still that) still applies, of course. I like the peace of mind of knowing I have the emergency SOS feature, and my wife feels better that I have it, way off in the sticks alone. I had an earlier model and like the Gen 3 much more. More features, more compact, and much better battery life.
*Edit: I guess you buy it and send a rebate cert to Spot and they reimburse you. Same thing, I guess, but a little more to it. On the other hand, that should mean it would apply wherever you bought the gadget.
