I paid $280Aus for this membership. I booked my free night at the Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour. I got a corner room with a great view and heaps of room. On checking how much it would cost for the same room same night same hotel, the cheapest I could find was $220. I also stayed at the Hotel Ibis Sydney Airport. The room I got cost me $188. Looked on several websites to find the same room, same hotel and same night and found the cheapest to be $320. So thats a saving of $132. Add the $220 for the free night and thats $352. We had dinner at the Ibis when we stayed. (My Fiance, child and myself). It got charged to us for $128. We got half price on check out. Thats a further saving of $64. In total so far I have saved $412. It only cost $280. So a real saving of $132 so far. I have only been a member for 4 months and plan to use the membership again. Specially for 50% dinners. To all those who cant use this membership to save money you are all complete idiots and need your brain checked. If you dont travel enough, of course its going to be hard to save a minimum of $280 for what you payed for it. If you travel alot this membership is perfect for you. Also for the person who let their free night lapse and couldn't get an exception for an extension, really think about it for a second. Of course they arent going to let you have an extension.
