The same hotels you are already looking at, at the MWR Life member price the public never sees. Look up one real trip with a free pass, on your own dates, and watch the number change. No card, no membership to start.

Free. For the woman who has been putting off a trip because of what it costs.

See it on a trip you already know

Put in a price you have already been quoted.

Type in what a hotel is asking you per night and how many nights you would stay. You will see roughly what a member pays for the same room. It is an estimate. Your exact price shows the moment you look it up inside.

Public price for this stay is about .
Members in this range tend to pay around
That is roughly you could keep on this one trip.

Estimate only, based on typical member savings of 25 to 45 percent. Real savings vary by hotel and dates, and your exact member price shows once you look up your trip inside the platform.

How the free pass actually works.

1

Grab your free pass

It takes about a minute and there is no card. You are just getting in the door.

2

Tell the planner where you want to go

Instead of ten open tabs, you name the place and it helps you build the trip, the hotels, the things to do, and shows the member price on each one.

3

See your price, then book

Look up your real dates and see the price the public never sees. Your pass lets you book one stay up to two nights at that member price.

One trip, my own card

Four nights on Times Square.

For four nights at the Sheraton New York Times Square, the public rate came to $1,526.52. I paid $1,009.52. Same room, same dates, same view of the same city, about five hundred dollars lighter. I did not negotiate it and I did not wait for a sale. I booked it from the inside.

And it is not just me. Members booked more than $2.4 million in savings last year, and the names roll in all day.

What this does not do

Every page selling a travel membership tells you what you save. Here is the other half, because you have read enough pages that only told you the good part.

The pass covers one trip, not a habit. One stay, up to two nights, at the member price. That is enough to check the number against a real trip you were already thinking about. It is not enough to book your summer.

It costs money whether you travel or not. A membership is a monthly bill, and it arrives in the months you stay home too. If you take one trip a year, the arithmetic is different than it is for someone who takes four.

It does not beat every rate. Some hotels are cheaper to the public, particularly the budget chains and anything running a sale that week. On those you book the public rate and keep your money, which is why the comparison matters more than the membership.

It does not book itself. You look up the trip, you compare the two numbers, you decide. The savings come from doing that, not from holding the membership.

One thing it does do. The price on your screen at checkout is the whole price, with resort fees and taxes already counted. You are comparing a real total against a real total instead of a teaser rate that grows on the last page.

If that list makes you more comfortable rather than less, that is exactly what I hoped.

Still wondering whether this is legitimate?

Fair question, and it is the one most people are typing into Google before they land here. I wrote the whole review, including the parts a company page would never print. Read that first and come back if it holds up.

Get your free pass and look up your trip.

Put in your name and email and I will send your guest pass. It costs nothing to grab, and it lets you look up the trip you have been carrying around and finally see the member price for yourself.

No card to grab the pass. You just look up your trip and see the member price for yourself.

If you decide you want that price on every hotel, flight, and cruise from here on, a full membership runs $19.97 a month and you can stop whenever you like. Most people cover it on their first trip. But that part is for later. For now, just go see your number.
