I think the Travel Hacking Cartel is over-priced, even for its target audience. I made use of the trial to check it out. I think it's a useful product that has its place for some people (though probably not anyone reading this here). I'm relatively new to this whole world myself, and found my way to FlyerTalk because of Chris. And I learned some valuable things on the site. But it seems rather expensive, even for the cheapest plan.
