ASMALLWORLD Avis 

I do not relate to some of the comments about this platform. My experience as a member has been great since I joined over two years ago. I have access to a Community where I can get great travel advice, and make good connections with interesting people. We can also meet in events held in major cities around the world and even book hotels. It's a one-stop shop for travel! Their customer support is also fantastic with generally quick response times. Regarding some complaints about the auto-renewal, this is mentioned in the terms and it can be disabled from the account so I do not see a problem.

I am enjoying the ASW Collection VIP benefits for hotel travel. The personal touch from their support team when confirming reservations is a definite plus compared to other booking sites.

The community itself is based mainly on travel experiences and you can gain tips from local members throughout the world. ASMALLWORLD also offer events in many worldwide destinations, allowing you to meet other members in a curated experience by local ambassadors.

There are infrequent mailings letting you know of the latest events and membership special offers; all have been very well received.

As bad as it gets!

Now they even try to get popular by sending email spam. Today a big spam wave goes round the world. Very sad, one of the last attempts since several years to get more members...
NEVER NEVER opted in to any mailing list

Unethical company with unethical practices.

They have renewed my subscription without notification or pre-warning.

I have cancelled my subscription minutes after the renewal and they refused to issue a refund. moreover, they terminated my account.

They insist on charging me a one year subscription for being few minutes late to cancel the subscription.

Under any sensible law, a physical product can be returned within 15 days without any questions asked. a respectful company would allow cancellation within 14 days of the renewal, as well as notify you by sending you an invoice ahead.

Who wants to sign up for a service like that ? stay away.

I joined ASW last year, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to use their services and this morning I was billed.
Doing this via paypal means the money is immediately withdrawn from your account without a forewarning email notification.
I contested this, and cancelled immediately and they aren't willing to do anything at all, which seems unreasonable seeing as it was moments after it was deducted.
