They are offering the free memberships for a few more days and will start charging at the start of November.  Since it’s free and doesn’t require a credit card, it really makes sense to do just in case you end up wanting it some day.
They are also throwing in a $50 booking credit if you book your first trip before then. Â If you already signed up, don’t worry–you can still use the credit.
Details:
Minimum, two-night booking is required through Club1Hotels to redeem the $50 off your booking fee(s).
*Bookings must be confirmed on or before Sunday 11:59pm CST October 30, 2016
*Gift Code “A50KP8″Â
The $50 booking credit will automatically be applied towards your credit card and notified within 8-hours after the booking is confirmed.
If you do sign up for it, I’m giving away $250 in hotel credit to one lucky customer.  You can enter by going to my previous post about this and leaving a comment about your favorite destination.

For these types of bookings, you do not get elite credit or points. Â So I personally probably wouldn’t use this when I have the chance to stay at a property I have status at.
I do wish I had it in Auckland.  I have no loyalties there and I found the hotel I stayed at for much cheaper.
