🗣️ Real-User Thoughts from Reddit
Best value if close to clubhouse:
“If you stay near one and plan to use the facilities like the swimming pool often then … a good option”
Gym & DBS rebates often pay for itself:
“The safra membership pays itself off in rebate within a few months… I’ve accumulated $56 in rebate alr.”
Movie tickets & parking perks also popular
Less useful if seldom used:
“Personally I don’t stay near any of the existing Safra clubs… external partner offers seem better”
