See big discussion here: http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8030888
Thanks for the link though - in addition to the sale, they're also offering the 1st month of service free if you activate it by Dec 31st.

I guess the only reason to get the Mini as compared to the SE is size? Functionally they do the same thing.
I bought my older model Delorme Inreach SE a few years ago, used, on Ebay for about $140. It works fine. My only complaint is it's very slow-going to type text messages. |

| Is there any difference in the SE and Mini antennae? Our Mini can take quite awhile to find satellites, both navigational and conversational, like in treed areas. |

I saw the InReach Mini at Costco today for $329. That's only $20 off regular price but includes a free month of subscription price.

Here's a pretty fair comparison between three communication devices.

Just got the REI sales brochure in the mail. On the back page they are offering save $100 on the inreach mini. Are they coming out with a new model?
Sale starts on Nov. 13

Just got the same. $100 off combined with my $100 gift certificate would bring the price down to $150 for me, so I think I might pull the trigger on this now. It's kinda a painful decision. Still not certain.

Pulled the trigger last night on this and combining my $110 gift card with the $100 discount, I got it for $150 + tax. It was a big decision on my part being that I dislike communication technology in the backcountry. But being I am 68 yo and legally blind I submitted.
The $100 discount is pretty much universal, so you can get this deal anywhere, including Costco or Amazon. I got it at REI because I had a $100 gift card to combine with it.
I don't know how long the $100 discount will last. Maybe someone else knows.
