Hi Sam

Good précis! Thank you. Yes, our membership was set up over 5 years ago and built for client entertaining rather than a working "hub". Times have changed and through our online community www.efactor.com we have recognized people need somewhere to work. Yes, we are talking with a number of suitable clubs worldwide and correct again, it will be another 3 weeks until we have these finalized. 
There is so much more to our membership that just the clubs, you get amazing rates at hotels, golf, networking, VIP events, automotive and all at pre-negotiated rates. Yes, we are running a promotion of £50 a month for registered member upgrades and I would be happy to offer this to people through this group. 
To be a full E-factor member and to be a Limecard member is no difference price wise (although we do have our promotion on) however, one is for every area of your life - Limecard and one is just for your business head - E-factor. Your choice - they are both run through us but have varying areas. 
Keep the questions coming, I work in marketing and rarely get this level of interaction!!!! 
Jo

I have called the limecard guys because I was quite confused about their offering. It turns out that, as I was expecting, it was slightly too good to be true. You can only access any given club 3 times a year. Above that they can negotiate special rates on your behalf with a club you like. I think this is great if you are only using it to meet clients but not if you are using it as an hub

They are apparently running a promo at £50 per month at the moment.
However they have e-factor which is more tailored to entrepreneurs like us. It's the same £99/month , you get the same benefits as Limecard but it is more tailored to entrepreneurs. The lady I was speaking to told me that at the moment they are negotiating with a few clubs to grant permanent access to the e-factor members. They are talking with The hospital, Adam st and an other one I can't remember the name and should finalize this partnership over the coming month.

If this is the case I think it could be a great deal and I'll probably go for it. So I am probably going to wait one month and see if it really goes through. In the meantime I'll be haunting Starbucks as usual:)
Jo, tell me if I am wrong?
Regards
Sam

Limecard seems that it could be a good fit for a lot of us, its a shame

they hide so many details behind their registration wall. 
On that note, just tried to register for the site, but if you try to

opt-out for their marketing the form throws an error!
