222 Avis 2

You're basically paying 22.22 a month (plus any extra event specific fees) to be waitlisted and rejected for events. You can't schedule your day around these, because you don't find out until last minute. When you express frustration that you're not allowed to attend when you paid for it, you're given an excuse about group matching. The few events I've attended were so-so, so Im not sure what matching they are talking about. Yes, I'm aware they give you money back, but they essentially are charging me for a subscription, event fees, knowing they will most likely reject me and then hold on to it and then refund me afterwards. If I sign up for an app to attend events, I expect to attend events, not be arbitrarily rejected and refunded. My money, and time are more valuable than that. If 222 wants to do the right thing, they should provide the service that customers pay for.

1.As if blindfolded with a google map of the city, they sent us to a touristy boomer restaurant straight out of a psych experiment. Despite being a social app for 20 & 30ish year olds, what retirement home trauma did they want us to bond over the most: the sea of geriatric joints creaking in the backdrop, the fluorescent overhead lighting prepping us for an alien abduction, or our escape plan from retirement home prison?

Update: they refunded me. see below
2.There’s an undisclosed first time curation fee- it’s shady that they don’t offer you a membership up front. They effectively stole $22 from me. I had booked the event then cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. Afterwards I bought a monthly membership and rebooked while the refund was pending. Decent customer service would have just rolled it over to a free month or a refund.
