crawil Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 This page lists the benefits. Simply they are: Organize geocache listings and create favorite lists with the bookmark feature. Create custom searches based on geocache size, location, attributes and more with Pocket Queries. Be the first to find a geocache when you receive Instant Notifications about newly published geocaches on your cell phone or other mobile device. Search for geocaches along a route on your next road trip. Tell us where you are going, and we will let you know what geocaches are along the way. Support the development and maintenance of the Geocaching.com site.

+StarBrand Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Best reason is just to support all the fine folks that bring all this data to us. $30 per year is quite a bargain! Quote Link to comment
+TomToad Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I just recently upgraded to premium. I tried out the pocket query to find recently placed caches. Found one that was not found yet and got my first FTF. While I was in the area, I checked out some of the other hides in the area. Found some of the best hides so far. If I hadn't upgraded, I wouldn't have the pocket query. WIthout the pocket query, I wouldn't have found the FTF. WIthout the FTF, I wouldn't have bothered traveling the distance to the location. Without traveling to the location, I wouldn't have found all the great caches in the area. I'd say I've gotten my $30 worth already. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 In addition to all that, you also get to call yourself whatever you want under your avatar photo, and you have access to premium members only caches (which is a whole can of worms - let's not debate it in this thread). If you are considering paperless caching, premium membership is almost a must. Quote Link to comment
