I'm with you on amazon. I spend a fortune with them and am a prime member in addition to prime fresh. Too bad they have bad (presidential) politics. But let's not go there. Jet has better prices on some items and carries some things that amazon doesn't. In my limited dealings with them, their delivery has been as fast if not faster than Amazon. The concept is basically the same though Jet carries only a fraction of the items that Amazon carries. Competition is a good thing.
As to how the bank allows duplicate authorizations - it's because they're for different amounts and the bank can't distinguish that it's a duplicate. Jet initially authorizes for the entire purchase. A day later, they authorize for individual purchases. For example, I purchased 3 items in my latest order. Immediately following placing the online order, they authorized the entire amount. The next day, they authorized each item separately. The bank told me that several of the authorizations were duplicates and they rejected them (I ordered 5 cases of water and apparently they tried to authorize each case separately).
I can't fault the bank - how are they supposed to know? Being a nut when it comes to these things, I called up Visa USA and asked for clarification about Visa's rules. Talk about bureaucracy! I got nowhere. I know I know, I'm an obsessive nut when it comes to these things. ;)

They need time to sharpen their pencils to write the cancellation order ;).
Not to digress.... coincidentally, I was just speaking with my bank about authorizations from jet.com - the company that aspires to be amazon.com. What a racket! It's my third time ordering from them and I keep forgetting about their ridiculous policy. They authorize all purchases twice thereby tying up available funds. The duplicate authorizations go away eventually, but that doesn't mitigate the hardship it may cause by having funds unavailable needlessly. When I questioned jet.com, I was told it was the way their system operates. Great answer! Calling my bank simply to find out if they're allowed to do this was an exercise in patience and I eventually hung up after being transferred around. I personally don't really care about the funds being unavailable - it's the principle. The experience was something out of Kafka. I don't know how they get away with it.

Regent, thanks for the review. However, in the future you might want to add a description of the content. I had to look elsewhere to get the 411.
The price was $34.95 for a month when I just peeked. Still, it seems pricey for 100 scenes.

At the risk of needlessly prolonging this, I'd like to make it clear where I stand as well as others I assume.
The business model doesn't lend itself to recurring memberships. I know some members at PU don't feel the same as well as many of your customers. However, I don't get it. Nowadays, it is simple enough to download all the videos one wants in a month, three months at the most. New updates at most sites probably don't exceed 10 per month. Waving a carrot of 10 bonus videos is not sufficient to make me become a recurring member. I mean no offense and I do sympathize with your plight.
Having 10 new videos in the recurring month compared to possibly 100 or 500 at the onset doesn't make sense to continue membership until there are sufficient new uploads. I'm not going to become a recurring or loyal member simply so the business can maintain a profit margin. It would be like giving to charity.
Like I said, I know others will not agree and other people don't mind spending the monthly fee to get only a handful of new uploads monthly. If I'm missing something or not understanding, please let me know. Seriously.

Webmaster, thanks for responding. However, I have to go along with RB.
I follow the same practice.... I cancel membership at all sites immediately after joining. It is rare that I need more than a month to download what I'm interested in. Why should I join for multiple months when I have what I want within a month? It doesn't make sense to me. I do not speak for all PU members, but given the way things are, I don't understand why anyone would want a recurring membership. That is, unless updates are frequent and abundant, which is rarely if ever the case. For those sites I enjoy, I will come back and rejoin after a period of time.
I understand that you're looking for loyalty in the way of recurring memberships. However, the present system doesn't support that type of loyalty, at least for me as well as many others.
Regardless, I think it's just bad business to offer something and then take it away.

My initial thought/hope was to see the network of sites get de-listed from PU. However, on second thought, I think it would be in the best interests of the PU community to leave it up with all the mind-boggling comments by the webmaster and the critical, though dated, reviews. De-listing the site would probably be in the site's best interests considering the reviews and comments, especially the comments. Let consumers make an informed decision of whether to join.

Thanks for responding. But what a response! It speaks for itself and I will let others come to their own opinion.
I am assuming I'm not misunderstanding but your response was not clear. It's $9.95 only if you join for a year. And this is with the 75% discount? If so, that would make the regular price $39.80/mo. when joining for 1 year, the same as cost for one month. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm just going by my limited experience and only with one site on the network, the Asian site. The videos aren't dated but I'm guessing from your comments that they're old. The latest ones, or at least the ones listed first, were 540p or less.
The quality comment was certainly subjective. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
But yeah, I did a trial on both sites, on Bang because of an inadvertent oversight on a cross-check, and there was no access to all sites on videosz. There are only 3 sites on Bang. It was the opposite on videosz although the names of the genres of the Bang sites were different.

I was looking all over for info about bang.com. I found out about it when the pre-cross check devils on Team Skeet hooked me into a trial. I guess I was looking for info in the wrong places.
I downloaded a few videos and was intrigued. I had no idea that they were affiliated with videosz until I was pointed to these comments. Bibo, I think it's the opposite of what you said - joining videosz gives one access to bang.com plus lots more. Joining bang.com only gives access to bang, though I could be mistaken.
Anyway, this site is not worth the bother for the simple reason the quality is mostly not up to snuff, at least the videos I encountered. Downloads were often only 540p or less. On the other hand, It's quite a weird site offering very diverse genres. Then again, I don't think the videos offered anything different than the other bazillion sites.

pat362's Review
Excellent review. I was rather surprised to see a pay-site review from a veteran, pleasantly so. Hot Movies was the first porn site I experienced, the first review I left on PU, albeit uninformative, and the subject of my first post in the forum. Memories.
I hadn't visited the site though for years. I traded in going to pay sites for downloads. Then I decided to go back and look at Hot Movies a week ago. Your review is a coincidence though it reaffirms my thoughts. I still had 10 minutes left on my account. I forgot how much exclusive and excellent contact it contains. I miss this site and am going to plunge into it again.
Ironically, another veteran member called me a shill after my first post where I mentioned this site (and another site). It was such an unkind welcome that if it weren't for graymane (where is he?!), I was gonna take my ball and go home. Glad I stayed.

Haha, I think I got you mixed up with someone else who has a phobia about using odd numbers.
I sampled all the sites and I gotta say this is one of the weirdest networks I've seen. Give 'em 5 points for that. ;) However, the site is not really up my alley. I guess much like Cum Louder wasn't for me either.
Too much silicone, something I hate. Too many old women and I don't mean MILFs. Too many tatoos. Each site seems to be formulaic. Many of the same actors within each site.
On the plus side (for me), some of the women are very hot and the sex is very much hardcore.
Chicas Loca was the selling point for me and a real let down. Spanish and SE Asian amateurs are my favorites because of the innocence they portray. Not here though. The Spanish women are really hardcore.
I'm guessing all the scenes were shot in Western Europe, i.e., Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Normally that would be a big plus for me, that is, getting away from the even more formulaic San Fernando valley. While that is a plus, it's not quite my cup of snot.
I don't mean to take anything away from your excellent review, just a difference in taste.

Thanks for the thorough review. I joined based on your review and am downloading now. It looks good, so far anyway. Meanwhile, some initial comments...
** I would have felt better if you gave it 85. But I understand that this might cause some friction with the odd gods, haha.
** I don't think that having 2 levels of membership is necessarily a bad thing. However, they're not very upfront about explaining the difference between the two options. The $24.95 price is reasonable. Based on your review, I opted for that.
** On a similar note, the website has the fees in euros and it said 24.95 euros for the membership. I was charged 24.95USD. No complaints.
** Thanks for the tip on the CC processor. I intentionally used the wrong expiration date on my CC to join with Centrobill and I was immediately given the Epoch option.
** On a similar note, it is my practice to cancel my membership immediately on every site I join lest I forget. I rarely, if ever, want a recurring membership. I DL what I want in the first month and try to come back in a year or so to sites I enjoyed. Having said that, there was no way of canceling on the site itself, at least from what I could see. The only option was to write them through the site. However, thanks to Epoch, that was resolved quickly..
** If it wasn't for your review, I never would have joined. I couldn't find any description of the site on the home page or anywhere. This seems to be a common flaw in the industry.
** I agree about the language confusion. Leave it in one language, I don't care which one!
I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now on all these mostly minor concerns because they seem a little amateurish and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Jimmy Regina's Reply
Jimmy, thanks for the response and also for Rich's lengthy email to me. I am extremely happy to hear that better quality downloads are forthcoming. Buy YIKES, I wasted my time downloading a 100 or so low-quality videos. I wish Trike stated this somewhere or not activated downloading until this was done.
Rich states in his email the reason given for changing to streaming only was the truth, to protect the girls. The reason given to go back with downloads is that they realized that there was no way they could prevent piracy and their policy did no good in protecting the girls. I can buy that.
Bottom line, perhaps I was too harsh with some of my comments. I still believe that activating the downloads and advertising it before there were good quality downloads was a very bad idea, but they're a small mom & pop site and they should be given a little leeway.
If I am able to do so, I will amend the review once the higher quality downloads are available. Once the download quality is updated, my rating would be 90+ and I will come back for more.

Thanks wittyguy and exotics4me for the comprehensive reviews. I've gotta learn to write reviews like you guys!
I joined the site based on the reviews. Except for some minor stuff, I agree with both reviews as well as the numerical ratings. As was commented elsewhere, it's a plus that separating the softcore (nubiles.net) is a plus as softcore is not my thing.
Just a thank you note to say your quality reviews are appreciated.

Most of us, including me, have run into deceptive or fraud billing practices. I generally make one attempt to resolve a problem with the site, which generally works. On those occasions when it doesn't or there's no one to contact, I dispute the charge with my bank. I've always gotten my money back. I'm confused why everyone doesn't do this.

rearadmiral's Review
Thanks for another in-depth review. As a result, I re-upped after a 2-year absence.
In your remarks about bonuses, were you referring to the "bonus updates?" I can't download, only stream.
All in all, it's a great bargain and feel that I got more than my $10's worth, or whatever it was. However, I found the scenes so repetitious that I got bored fast. I know there's just so much you can do in offering variety and it's an issue I have with many sites.
Having said that, I am not a big collector. These days, I subscribe to a site for a month every few months or so. When I first started subscribing, it was all so new and exciting and I'd join several sites at the same time. Either porn has lost it's thrill for me due to lack of variety, or my libido ain't what it used to be. ;) Probably a little of both.

RA, your reviews are so right on target and thorough beyond the call of duty. Once again, I appreciate it.
I rejoined Skeet after a 2 year absence. I don't know why I waited so long. The site is even better.
One thing I found curious - the ratings for the videos. It's a great idea but one never knows if they should be taken seriously. That is, if they come from subscribers or site personnel. The curious thing was that consistently over the past year, every video (I think) that I downloaded had a rating over 9 (out of 10). However, go back a bit over a year and virtually every video seemed to have a rating between 8 and 9. What's up with that?
Edit to add:
I checked out a video that was uploaded 2/1/16. It has 9,396 reviews for a score 9.87. I guess I answered my question.

Good deal, even at 17.87. They will now have the distinction of being the first site that I rejoined. -)
Perhaps my message came across as harsh which was unintended. No offense taken. Just weird that we'd get 2 completely different offers. Or maybe it's cuz I live in NJ. -)

I live in the US and what I said is accurate. I would post screenshots and copy and paste my email, but the site apparently does not allow for html.
Anyway, here is the beginning of the email I rec'd on 12/31:
"Here is your free video. We got a treat for you today Team! Check out Alexa Graces Team Skeet audition tape." blah blah
When I access Team Skeet thru PU, the charges are listed as follows on the very fist page:
12 months = 4.99
3 months = 9.87
1 month -14.87

I just checked my spam and there it was, the offer. However, it was different. The offer was for a free download with regular $15 membership. Still pretty cheap. I was a member about 8 months ago and enjoyed it and would consider re-upping even at full price. However, I forget, are there other sites included? It doesn't appear so. How often do they add videos? Again, no mention on their page although a review here sez there are daily updates. I have to wonder if that's still true since there's no mention on their splash page.

rearadmiral's Review
As usual, a BIG thanks for a thorough review. As I mentioned elsewhere, it seems we have similar taste and I joined a week or two ago based on your review.
To be honest, I'm not crazy about the site. While I agree with most everything you said, I don't feel the models are beautiful, or at least they're not my type. Or maybe the gonzo genre is not for me. It's a shame since the site has so many good things going for it. But the repetitiveness is also a big minus for me, though most sites seem to share that flaw. It's like you've seen one, you've seen 'em all.
On a positive note, it is apparently run by professionals who seem to be concerned with treating their customers like valuable assets. What a novel concept! ;) And they are responsive. The site is set up great, the 4 (or 2 for the older videos) choices of downloads is a plus and the production is a plus. I would also like to thank the webmaster for being active here.
