If you want to meet interesting people without worrying they might be serial killers, this is the place. Great people, great events. Received good advice when I was looking for a watch to buy. People who complain about the charge obviously didn't read the joining page because it says right on the page how much your next charge will be and on what date. Don't pay for something if you're not gonna read the terms.
Asw is bang on time when it comes to invoicing the fee. If you cancel your subscription before renewal is due, you cant access anymore your account, although you paid for the full year. This means you cannot download anymore the invoices you already paid and if you write to their support email, even after a week no reply. Recommendation: stay away from Asw. Not worth a Dollar.

Not worth the time or money. Very little value in their services and their customer service is the absolute worst (particularly Sofia in member services). I tried to cancel my membership before I was charged for another year and they fought me down to the minute of when I logged in saying that I didn't log in in time to cancel so they would not refund my money and reset my membership date for 2 days after my cancellation. On top of it they also blocked access to their app from the time I cancelled it so I paid for another year and then couldn't use it! Worst company ever and I hope they go under.
I have worked with this company for years and they were accommodating but now they need way to much information, bank statements, compliance forms, driver's license and now documentation of recipient. No longer a company to rely on.
You can cancel your registration, they delete your account and, taking advantage that you provided your credit/debit card, they will charge you and unless you cancel that card for fraud, they will charge again and VISA will wash their filthy hands. This is a fraud.
DO NOT GET IN THE TRAMP: A SMALL WORLD only sells ego for nothing. You pay for being in a supposed platform with zero interactions. Useless for all purposes: dating, business, traveling...
Useless.
Dont let them fool you and steal your money. Trust me. I lost 100€ to nothing after I cancelled.
Criminals behind swiss laws.
I WILL RATE IT AS NO STARS IF IT WAS ALLOWED
Tip for consumers:
Do not enter, do not member
Products used:
No products or services were real
Beware when you sign up for a "free" membership that they collect a bunch of your personal information as well as your picture. Later they can reject and block you for no reason and use your information you dont know how.
Very suspicious and strange organization.
Tip for consumers:
Highly NOT recommend
Took a trial thinking i will pay for premium, i was block with no reason. I think people who are running this app have no business sense good luck to them we will see
Sad ripoff. I was hoping for more but you are better off in booking a club holiday. Sadly I can't recommend.
I think the first idea was good but its just old, dusty and not cool anymore.
Exclusive place to broad our networking, make connections and share experiences worldwide. Been a member since 2005 and have met many nice people.
I was a member in Chicago. There was a clique there led by a female who would not let "outsiders" in. And the only requests for "meetings" I received were from men - and the vibe was definitely "looking for one-night-stand".
AFTER THEY BLOCKED ME WITHOUT AN APARENT REASON... I WROTE THIS EMAIL:
I didn't had any plans of renewing my subscription to your BS site. You did a big favor to me!
Because your site is nothing but a big bubble filled with nothing but air! (and not even hot) You sell seaweed for silk ribbons!
Half of profiles are fakes and scams... the rest are some "gold diggers" that are trying to find rich guys in order to "escort" and "entertain" them and the rest of them don't even bother to login anymore!
As for your events i would be more than surprised if more than two people will attend to them! If they ever take place :D! !
Cause my little 'small time crooks'... High society and the international Jet set doesn't need a BS site to connect with one another!
Bottom line... you should change the label of your site from ASW to ALOBS (A lot of BS)
Goodbye and good luck with your fraud. You will need it!
This is a site for stupid narcissistic people who like to think that they are superior. If anybody pays 5000$ for this $#*! is probably disabled!
I signed up to this site years ago just after the Swiss ceo took over (I think Patrick is his name, I'm swiss myself) and they advertised that they'll provide a trip for the members to st. Kitties the carribean island completely free for all members. Needless to say, said trip never came to to fruition, it was never mentioned again after I signed up for the membership, and my email inquiring about it was completely ignored, yet around 10! Years later I still receive plenty of spam emails from them even after I unsubscribed from their mailing list.

This service offers nothing and take your money without authorisation. Unfortunately i didnt pay with credit card so i couldnt report fraud! A day after they took the money for my membership I asked them to return it and cancel my annual membership and they said no. They automatically checked automatic renewal without my agreement. They are fallen company that's why they make money on this credit card scam!
Nothing exclusive. Anyone can become a member and people I met at their events were as ordinary and boring as random people you meet at random bars. Don't waste your time and money. And yes, they do charge without notice and deactivate your account without explanation. And the customer service refuses to refund and even accuses you of making a complaint. I argued back very logically by pointing out how unprofessional they were and eventually they gave me back my money. It took me some time though. I immediately deactivated my credit card for just in case.
It lost the overall quality and trustworthy. Plus once you are a member they will take money from your account renew your subscription without notice - an automatic renewal disable function is not an option on the website. I asked for a refund few days later and they denied. It's all about money...
Do not give these people any access to direct or recurring billing. My ex had a recurring payment set-up that was supposed to be cancelled by ASW since the two year auto renew had expired. It was charged on my account for my ex's membership. When I contacted ASW to reverse the charge and bill the subscriber, they refused and told me to seek reimbursement from the subscriber directly. Terrible and unethical business practices. I'm disputing directly with my payment company and expect resolution.
Charged me without telling me they would or sending me a receipt for $110. I emailed asking them to refund this amount and they terminated my account and refused to refund me, what?!?!
Besides this their services are completely useless and require you to spend even more $ once you are subscribed.
You are a fool if you sign up with ASW, just look at EVERY SINGLE review online...

If you want to give you financial information to a company that continues to take unauthorised payments with no warning in exchange for access to a hollow, vacuous community run by scammers, sign up to ASW today.
Today a big spam wave is going around the world, seems to be one of the last efforts of ASmalworld to get more popular, since they did not succeed since many years... sad.
I see a lot of negative review, I wanted to share my view.
I used to be a member and I stopped my membership in 2015 since it was not as active. I came back this year after I got invited to an ASW event in Munich by my friend as a guest. Since then I resubscribed and, I have to admit, no regret, there is a lot more activity and event for a travel active like me now! Keep up the good work SmallWorld! Could you push more services on the business side?
Tip for consumers:
don't get too afraid to contact people, that's a real network, everyone is opening there doors if you are ready to do it too!

No events in my new area but they screw me on rebill.
A site for a bunch of elitest $#*!s who look down on normal people. Hopefully some serial killer will infiltrate the site and wipe some of them out.
ASW hidden auto-renewal policy sneakily took 2 years membership from me after I clearly asked them to remove my credit card and cancel my membership 2 years in a row! They do not want to give me a refund. Their community is empty, like a shell for a corrupt company... no valuable interactions. Stay AWAY!
I had no notification of a 'renewal' charge of £90! On a service i never logged in for.
I emailed asking to refunded and to cancel. Their response was to cancel the NEW 16/17 MEMBERSHIP & Still not refund me! Saying i have no rights!?
Absolute bull and in discussion with Dailymail about launching a story to uncover the truth in these 'paid social media sites"
On a service note...
No one talk on ASW. Its all brag. No one helps or wants to know you.
If you don't live in London (which i don't) you cant use anything.
A total scam. I got tricked into it! But you don't have to!
Listen to my advice. Stay away!
As reviews below mentioned they will charge you without notice. But thats not the worst thing. I was a member for a while whilst living in Toronto and also attended get togethers all over the world. This network attracts the most insecure, bland people who have personalities of ping pong balls but are pretty wealthy. Every event is the same, boring stupid small talk, no substance, low self esteem, no charisma. Bunch of snobs really with nothing to say.
