Here's a review by one person on their forum. I hope they don't require a payment method or you can just cancel right away, but keep the membership. Guess we'll see next week how good the membership is.

Definitely NOT worth it. I've had for a yr and the perks and discounts are almost non existent. No good deals on hotels outside of the US. I'm cancelling"

So now Trip Advisor wants us to pay $99 to be able to read "expert reviews" that Trip Advisor has begged from people to write for free for the last 10+ years. What started out as a friendly "community of travelers to help and advise each other in their journey" has now been monetized, with the additional carrot of a 10% discount on a hotel stay.

Puuuleeze. I've left many Trip Advisor reviews through the years, and had a pretty high traveler rating at one point, but I've naturally moved away from using Trip Advisor in recent years after their promotional (paid) reviews started taking over. With all the options available online now, TA just doesn't seem to be as honest and relevant anymore.

I refuse to believe $99 will pay for itself more than joining a hotel chain loyalty program (for free). ...in fact, a $45 annual AAA membership will provide better benefits, and will be guaranteed to work in more places, hotels, attractions, etc, for at least a 10% discount. Plus all the protection benefits for your car, like free towing, emergency gas, flat tire fixes, etc - plus you can actually call a toll free number to talk to a AAA person who can help you plan travel and find deals.

If the incentive for saving 10% on hotels and attractions is what is drawing your interest, I would stay very far away from this one.

There is actually already a subscription service to monitor your subscription services.

Good grief, everyone and their mom wants you to join their subscription these days

EDIT: I'd like to formally announce my own brand new subscription service, called "You Idiot", where for $10/mo I will degrade you for signing up for unnecessary subscription services. Guaranteed to pay for itself within 12 months.
Well I am launching a better subscription called "Idiot +"

I rarely book through these travel sites but aren't they normally pay in advance with restrictions on canceling? Does this get you free cancelation or anything like that?

Can't wait for the $10 / month subscription with slickdeals to see the frontpage and search posts, free if I get an Amex Platinum.

It's prob not worth it for $99. I was almost tempted recently when they had a cheaper deal for the hotel I wanted in Hawaii. I will def be signing up since it's free.

I don't think I would base my decision off only ONE person's review.
But that's their only subscriber XD

Yea you give them full access to your bank and credit cards! Cannot believe the fools who sign up for that. More CIA sponsored spying and selling of data.
