UPDATE: GOT AN EMAIL TODAY FROM REGUS REQUESTING DINERS CLUB NO. FOR ONE THE ACCOUNTS I SIGNED UP FOR.
I'VE TEMPORARILY PLACING THE DEAL AS EXPIRED UNTIL WE SEE IF THE CURRENT GROUP OF PEOPLE RECEIVE ANY TEMP CARDS.
WELCOME TO STILL TRY IF YOU'VE STUMBLED ACROSS THIS PAGE.

This is yet another Regus deal, as per the previous ones the last couple of days.

As a Businessworld Gold member you can now enjoy:

  • Unlimited walk-in access to more than 1500 business lounges and cafés worldwide
  • Complimentary Internet, tea and coffee on every visit
  • 10% discount on meeting rooms, day offices and videoconferencing
  • Professional administrative support from our professional onsite team

Code: theanywhereoffice

More details about Regus Gold Membership here: http://www.regus.com.au/products/businessworld-membership/go…

Secondly, if you can't speak german, use Google translate or the Chrome Web browser.

Once the form is complete you should receive a confirmation email and then a temp card. I myself have not received a temp card so I'm unsure how long it takes to come.

    Do I need a Dinners Club to get this freebie?

      not that I'm aware of. Just put in the code, fill out your details, then they send you a confirmation email.

      no.

    I just signed up for this as my current Regus Gold Membership (also free from last year) is close to expiring.

    I used the Regus Lounges a few times in New York last year, and I've used the Regus Lounge in Brisbane.

    There are lounge areas as well as little work "pods" with power points and partitions. The wi-fi was always very fast. Free water, coffee and tea, but no food (at least in the lounges I was at).

    • isdi on 14/03/2014 - 23:43

      So how does it work? Just show up and show the card? Is it free? I tried to book one of Melbourne's rooms (there wasn't any lounges to select) on the website but it showed me the cost of hiring. Sorry, never tried this before so still confused how this work. Thanks

      • xsacha on 14/03/2014 - 23:57

        This is only for the business lounges.

        Rooms/offices cost money.

  • wallet72 on 14/03/2014 - 23:23

    I've signed up with ServCorp for my virtual office, which gives me 3hrs a day of desk space. I then use regus to hop over to another building if I need to finish more work at a desk, then that's my day done!

    • thejew on 15/03/2014 - 00:32

      Is that free?

      • ausmechkeyboards on 15/03/2014 - 02:19

        It appears that he pays at least $150/month for his virtual office.

        • phamid on 15/03/2014 - 14:01

          I pay around $300 a month for the location I'm at, which includes the address, phone and other facilities.

          In other words, this deal is significantly better than the previous deal. Clocking in at 1800 rather than $600.

    Question. Do they get pissy about you using Skype? Obviously, they do sell teleconferencing as a service so I would understand why, but it would still be nice to hop on for a quick call if the need arises without having to pay for it.

    Excellent. Thanks OP. But there was a comment in the other Regis thread about these cards being set to auto renew.

    Sorry. After reading further in the other thread apparently you have to give 90 days written notice to cancel your membership or it will autorenew. Don't know if we can just deliver it to one of their office centers or have to mail it in somewhere.

      They don't have my credit card details so I'd like to see how they auto-renew?

    • RocketSwitch on 15/03/2014 - 10:39

      If you read near the end, last sentence:

      "For memberships, which are not paid monthly, the notice period is 90 days to the contract end of the current contract period."

      It says it must be in writing. Heh, they have no payment details so they would just cancel it.

      • solar on 15/03/2014 - 11:38
        +1

        They may not have your payment details but they have your name, address and agreement to their terms and conditions. They can still invoice you. And if you don't pay the bill I imagine that they could refer you for collection and get it put on your credit report. That's what I'm more worried about. Last year's ozbargain Regis deal was in July so I'm gonna put a written cancellation in before the end of March. Not sure yet where I have to send it though.

    Even with the saving, im wary with this if you are going to only occasionally use it. You do not have a Diners card and need to cancel before the 3 years is up and you are dealing with the German site.

    UPDATE: Got an email today from Regus requesting diners club no. for one of the accounts I signed up for.
    I’m temporarily placing the deal as expired until we see if the current group of people receive any temp cards.

    I suspect they may have cottoned on to a whole bunch of Aussies signing up.

    Welcome to still try if you've stumbled across this page.

    Interesting as I've setup my account by going through regus australia and requesting a new password.
    Also asked a question to the rep on how to cancel and this is their reply
    My mail:
    Message: How do I cancel after the free membership period.
    As the terms and condition says I need to send the request in writing, 90 days before the expiry.
    Where should this letter be sent to?
    The reply:

    Good day.

    Your Businessworld membership is a partnership card and is valid for 12 months only. It is non-renewable and will be terminated effective March 31, 2015.

    Should you need further assistance, please let me know.

  • bluesky on 21/03/2014 - 07:42

    I signed up Sat 15/03, and did not get a 2nd email ( temporary card). Since then, I came across articles about how regus was all scam, and its CEO under consumer fraud investigation, cancellation notices ignored, small prints in contracts etc etc. But note that these links were from 2009, and perhaps no longer applicable.
    http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/12005215-post29.html

    http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/MARK-DIXON-REGUS-GROUP-HQ-MANA…

    Nevertheless, I feel concerned. The 1st email said nothing about 3 years. So in 12 months, regus technically could auto-renew and demand subscription fees for next year.
    Also, as Shardie commented, it is still unclear how to cancel.

    If anyone else has any more info, please post. Many thanks.

  • Hansi on 25/03/2014 - 00:11

  • lightningx on 27/03/2014 - 13:44

    I bring good news! I just received my physical credit card sized gold membership card via postal mail! Thought the application failed as I didn't received any temp card via email.

    And I activated the card via regus.com and it worked. Can't wait to use it.

  • demod on 27/03/2014 - 15:44

    got mine today. 2 actually, because I thought the first one didn't work!

    Where do you see its for 3 years? I activated it, but cannot see expiry?

    • lightningx on 27/03/2014 - 16:22

      There's no expiry of any sort that's stated.

      At least, there wasn't any invoice under My Account.

      The welcome email I first received states,

      Product: Businessworld Gold
      Quoted Membership Fee: $0,00 annually
      Payment Method: creditcard
      Card Type: None

      So we should be safe for at least a year.

      Probably, it's internally recorded in their systems that it's free for three years. A quick call or email to their customer service may do the job — although I wouldn't do that. :)

      The only three years I recall was on the website when I first signed up. And that's in German.

      • INFIDEL on 19/04/2014 - 00:55

        A quick call or email to their customer service may do the job — although I wouldn't do that. :)

  • INFIDEL on 19/04/2014 - 00:47

    Asked expiry date on this & last year's cards… 2070+ :-)
    Staff said these cards don't expire - told to just keep using them!

    • piggyfund on 02/05/2014 - 11:30

      hi, im a little confused, I have a 1 year gold membership from last year (thanks ozbargain) and it will expire in June. I'd like to continue being a gold member - at a discount or free if possible. Are you saying our card doesnt expire?!

      • INFIDEL on 02/05/2014 - 18:33
        +1

        Strangely, that is what Regus staff at Riverside office in Brisbane told me. They asked who issued it - United Airlines frequent flyer - they said those don't expire.

        After all, this scheme is to sell office space rental, so a free coffee & use of a desk (if available) would be seen as an effective promotion.

        One way to know is to try after "membership" expires. If it does expire, I am sure we will be asked to join for longer - at our expense.

        I have cards from this & last year's deals. I can't tell the cards apart. Only the membership number differs. Staff told me they are happy to offer me free use for the rest of my life or 2072 - whichever comes first :-) Now that's a BARGAIN!

        Enjoy the free coffees ;-)

        • piggyfund on 03/05/2014 - 14:10

          Thanks for the reply, will do that - go in after my pass expires in June. I will be booking meeting rooms and office space from time to time on an ad hoc basis (very rarely) so would like to keep gold status if possible (without the monthly fee). Don't remember giving them my credit card details. Just don't want to be chased by debt collectors because I didn't read the fine print properly.

        • INFIDEL on 03/05/2014 - 14:49

          No CC details when joining, so no shocks.

          But if they want the business & the card is really expiring, we can expect a sales pitch. I was surprised only contact has been emailed surveys each time I use a free lounge.

          Free coffees without the SPAM - unusual on OB ;-)
