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.

Feb 4, 2023, 9:03 AM

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.

Read the contradiction....Red Circle states there will be NO auto renewal, however the Tripadvisor terms state there IS an auto renewal.

I just signed up for TripAdvisor Plus today and they do have some good deals on hotel stays compared to other sites. I used paypal to sign up for the membership so I wouldn't get automatically renewed.
Won't they just charge your credit card linked Paypal at renewal?

I dont know which other credit card company provide this functionality but X1 card have very good app which allows you to create card with credit limit say $1 .Once you sign up services like this using that card. You can delete the card immediately from app itself so any future charges will be declined. For all my subscription requirements like this I use my X1 card

It also has other cards like Auto delete after 1st Charge , 24 hr card etc
capital one has that option (browser extension). You could also use privacy.com and use any cc

I used Privacy cards for signup. Hope this is the better option to avoid being charged without our consent next year. dm me if any questions.

Another thing I noticed after signup under TripAdvisor membership "Your subscription isn't set up to auto-renew and will end on 03/04/2024."

I love trip advisor plus. I've had it for a year now and it saved me a ton of money. Hopefully this offer is good for renewals as well.

This looks useless even though it is free. I just bought tickets for international trip in summer, this site showed me $1974, where as Momondo site gave $1510. I think we will be getting more junk emails by signing up, and that's what they're trying to do.
