Hosteling International membership - worth it?

[bcla]

I'm planning on staying at one of their locations for three nights. I didn't check the fine print of my booking until yesterday, where it's member's only. So either I pay for a daily membership fee at $4 a day or I could get an annual/lifetime membership. The former is $18. Wondering if it's worth it. I might be staying at one later on in the summer, but even then an extra $6 isn't going to break the bank for me.

So let's see... you either pay $12 now and some more in the summer (how much more)?
Or you pay $18 now and nothing in the summer.

Seems way too much to worry about. Either pay $6 now that you may not take advantage of, or take the chance you might pay more than $18.

Is this really worthy of a debate?

No.
