How much does an ACTIVE Advantage membership cost?

If you sign up for the 30-day ACTIVE Advantage trial membership (either through the website or after an online activity registration), you'll receive access to all trial member benefits during your trial period. When the 30 days of the trial are up, your benefits will automatically continue with a regular annual membership (at the current annual membership fee). If you do not wish to extend your membership (during the trial period or after), you may cancel at any time. You're always protected by our Member Satisfaction Pledge--if you're ever dissatisfied during your trial or thereafter, simply email or call us to cancel your membership and you'll receive a prorated refund of the annual fee.

The annual membership fee is currently $99.95. That's less than $8 per month for full access to all activity registration discounts and more.

What is the ACTIVE Advantage Member Satisfaction Pledge?

We’re working hard to bring you the best discounts on all the things you need to do the activities you love--after all, we love the same activities as you and we also want great discounts! Because we’re confident you’ll love this program, ACTIVE Advantage features a Member Satisfaction Pledge. If at any time during your annual membership you are not completely satisfied, we’ll cancel your membership and give you a prorated refund - no questions asked!

How do I sign up for the ACTIVE Advantage membership?

There are 3 ways to become an ACTIVE Advantage member:

Go through two quick membership enrollment steps and then start saving on the things you need to pursue your active lifestyle!
  2. Through a free-trial offer presented during an online registration/ reservation: After you submit payment for an online registration/ reservation through an ACTIVE Network registration platform (ACTIVE, ReserveAmerica, etc), an offer for a free 30-day trial membership will appear. You can accept this offer and take advantage of the trial membership by verifying your email address and then clicking the acceptance button on the screen. If you do accept the trial offer, you'll receive a trial confirmation email from ACTIVE Advantage shortly after.
  3. By adding a trial membership to your cart during an activity registration: On most activity/event registrations through ACTIVE, you have the opportunity to add a trial membership to your cart as a part of your transaction. This is a simple way to start your membership and immediately begin to take advantage of all member benefits. Just look for the "Add to Cart" callouts during your registration, follow the few easy steps, and complete your transaction.

Once the 30-day trial period has passed, your benefits will be extended into the full annual membership and you will be charged the current membership fee. You will receive a reminder email 14 days into your trial period and another notification when full membership billing occurs. If you do not wish to extend your membership (during the trial period or after), you may cancel at any time. You're always protected by our Member Satisfaction Pledge --if you're ever dissatisfied during your trial or thereafter, simply email or call us to cancel your membership and you'll receive a prorated refund of the annual fee, no questions asked.

When your renewal is processed, we'll send another notification email to let you know that we billed your credit card on file and that your member benefits have been extended for another year. You don't need to do anything to keep enjoying your access to Advantage discounts.
