if they are the same company but I just belonged to simple excapes and found them very dependable. I cancelled just the other day so I am waiting to make sure I am not charged for the membership. I figured if I needed more vouchers, I would then join connections. I would not join both at the same time.
Yes you cab belong to both. Im a member of Simple Escapes and Galleria (they sell more retail cards--no Disney stuff or resturant cards). I like SE and buy cards monthly. I like keeping them on hand for shopping or gifts. Once you join the do offer some utility vouchers (mostly for people planning to cancel) to help you get some of your membership money back. They send you the vouchers that are $15 or $20 and you send the voucher in with your grocery receipt or whatever you use and they send you a check back for that amount.
