    Thanks mate! It's a wonder anybody actually pays for these memberships ;Þ

  • INFIDEL on 15/05/2015 - 21:57

    I've already used the 1 year deal (6/2013), now using the 3 year deal (3/2014), so will get this as a guest pass in another name as my current membership has almost 2 years before expiry.

    Good office (cubicle) use around the world, free coffee etc, free fast WiFi, friendly staff.
    I download large files (cough) at Regus.

    Handy when travelling to have a choice of CBD office spaces.

    • Chimpus on 16/05/2015 - 00:00

      Quick question about the facilities from a first timer…

      When they mention "Print / scan / photocopy facilities available"

      Does that = free printing?

      Also I'm assuming that there aren't any 'communal' computers for use in the common areas?

      • INFIDEL on 16/05/2015 - 00:38

        What do you think from a place that rents it's facilities at high rates…. I pop down the street to OfficeWorks.

        Communal computer (1) at offices I visited. No USB or other way to access the computer, so make sure you set up cloud access.

        • Chimpus on 16/05/2015 - 00:44

          No worries, thanks for the clarification!

        • INFIDEL on 16/05/2015 - 01:11

          @Chimpus:
          When you first visit, usually they show you around. Just ask.

          Most people using the facilities would have an account to bill for those items.

          When logging in first time it asks for your membership number. It tells you it will be billed to your account. But it isn't as we have free WiFi.

        • MasterNoob on 16/05/2015 - 06:34

          @brucefromaustralia:

          Hey Brucey! Have you tried entering those offices on weekends?

          Also how do you make a guest pass? What if you want to bring a different guest each time?

        • INFIDEL on 16/05/2015 - 07:43

          @MasterNoob:
          Reception hours only. Offices are in office buildings, so mainly open usual office hours. Only some paying long-term clients have secure access out of office hours.

          Join up with another name like I did (I already had a current 3 year membership) - I just used an initial rather than first name, which leaves latitude for male/female guest. Also can use it in places wherever I don't want to be called "Brucey" ;-)

        • MasterNoob on 16/05/2015 - 10:43

          @brucefromaustralia:

          But Brucey ;) have they asked your guest to ever show ID as proof the card belongs to them?

          I've only just applied for guest membership. Will probably use with overseas friends. Great view, with free coffee, & on free WiFi go down well.

          Never been asked for ID at any office.

    Love the Regus business centres. They recently opened one up in the QV building in Melbourne. Very convenient, unlimited Nespresso, work pods and free wi-fi.

    Anyone know how to tell when the Regus membership is going to expire? I swear they used to have it in the account settings but can't find them.

      I asked at my local Office. They told me both my gold cards expire in 2072!
      Was told I can use the facilities til then. They don't even ask to see the card.

      When I questioned when the promotional membership expired, they said to contact head office as it does not show on their computer.

      My expired card from about 2 years back is still accepted.

        I have a 3-year membership card (2014) and have been coming to the office in HCMC Vietnam since I arrived here. Unfortunately, just been told that my card has already expired since March 2015. A 3-year card expired in just one year? I emailed their help desk and was told that the card is a partnership card, with 259-Work from Anywhere (not Diners' though) is only valid for one year from the activation date. I don't understand. Anyone with a similar experience?

        • akubi on 30/06/2015 - 12:47

        +3

        Seriously though, I'd like to know how this business model works. I've looked into it, and normally, the cost of renting a single office slot in one of these shared office areas, especially in the city is enormous. Granted, that's for a dedicated desk and space, but this is not too far off from that. The facilities also look brand spanking new. How could they possibly sustain giving out these multi-year free memberships …

        • zappy32 on 16/05/2015 - 04:12
          +1

          I'm guessing they use it to entice you to move up to that actual "shared office space." This really only works well for individual work, for meetings etc. you'd need to rent a space off them.

        • INFIDEL on 16/05/2015 - 07:52
          +2

          These free offers are provided to business & frequent flier groups. (We have piggybacked on one of those.) Those are the likely users of this type of rental office space. Corporations are major clients, with whole office groups / teams located for long periods.

          The office I use was renovated at Christmas, opening up a great window wall with a fabulous view. And that's where the pods for people like us are.
