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.

"137. Re: Is TripAdvisor Plus Worth It?
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.

From Target (the subscription will NOT auto-renew:

Planning your next vacation? As a valuable member we'd like to invite you to try Tripadvisor Plus, free for one year. Tripadvisor Plus is an annual travel membership that unlocks member-only hotel deals and perks for your next trip. Your free trial will not convert to an auto-renewing paid subscription unless you choose to become a paid subscriber at the end of your free trial.

From Trip Advison, the subscription WILL auto-renew:

Offer available only to current Target Circle members. Valid until 9/5/2023 at 11:59 PM EST. You will receive a unique offer code for a free year of Tripadvisor Plus, then your membership will renew annually until canceled at the then-current price, charged to your payment method on file. Cancel auto-renewal any time by signing into your Tripadvisor account. Terms apply. See Tripadvisor site for more details.

Just put a cancellation reminder on your calendar a little less than a year out. It's annoying to have to keep track, but better to be safe than sorry.

It is definitely worth it, if you travel a lot price tripadvisor plus offers on some hotels will easily pay for itself. I have signed up for it since last August for a euro trip and hotel total was $200 less for the 3 days compared to the other sites

Once in college the teacher gave us 15 mins to write on the board what words we want on the spelling test from a book we were reading. People chose simple words. At the last 30 seconds, this moron got up and wrote "discombobulated." We all hate him in silence.

Risk free to try and set reminders to cancel in a year. Still slick.

No reminder needed, least not for me. It doesn't auto-renew unless you set it up. That's good to know.
My receipt page:

Plan

Annual subscription

Date purchased

March 13, 2023

Price

$0

Discount applied for the first year

Subscription number

372xxxxxxx

Subscription renewal date

Your subscription isn't set up to auto-renew and will end on 03/12/2024.

People still use TripAdvisor? lol. Between Reddit and Google Reviews, I rarely see the need for things like TA.

Who wins of trip advisor is used by people? The answer is trip advisor. By recommending places to stay, they become an advertising monolith like Google, if everyone used their service. But I think not so many use it.... So paying 99 for it? Not me.
