REI appeals Monika's case

I got nearly the same form letter. So . . .is the claim of expense reimbursement legit? I had thought they hadn't given her anything. Ryan?

I got nearly the same form letter.  So . . .is the claim of expense reimbursement legit?  I had thought they hadn't given her anything.  Ryan?

I was wrong when I said that REI failed to make a gesture of any kind. 18 months after her accident, and a few weeks after she filed a complaint, REI offered an amount to offset (partially) out of pocket meds. Monika never received reimbursement for the bike, nor the forensic bike test.

Shame!

Any suggestions on what to do with the handful of cash once I return my past 5 yrs of REI purchases?

If everyone is making returns in protest, shouldn't we be doing so in a large obnoxious group carrying signs, clogging lines and such?

I sent an e-mail and returned a piece of rei branded luggage I bought over ten years ago... when asked why i was returning, I said I was afraid of faulty REI branded equipement injuring me.

I still have an rei sleeping bag. scarred what might happen should the zipper fail and trap me in.

Thought I would revive this thread. Ryan told me Sat. night that the State Supreme Court has refused to her the appeal from REI. So in the end she would have won.

thanks gregg.  i'm still disgusted with rei.  they talk the line, but they don't walk it.  they could have stood up, but they didn't.  they are right up there with the monkeys who created the shrinking candybar and the folks who found focus groups that determined 11.2 oz of beverage satisfied better than 12.

my 'membership' at rei goes back to the early 60's.  i'm not quite giving up them, but i feel they have lost thier way..        dg
