How much does it cost to join Angies List? I get emails from them but it is not clear.?

I don't want to enter all of my personnal informaiton like my credit card to find out it is not a price I am willing to pay. It seems like a marketing gimmick and I don't appreciate the approach. If they will use this type of hard sell, Is it even worth it? How objective is the information? Is it all slick marketing?

1. Don't use any of the links in the emails that you get--in fact, block that sender right now. Go directly to the website (www.angieslist.com) and get the information directly from the website. I was able to find membership pricing for my area just by entering my zip code. (Detroit area is $78/yr, plus $10 signup fee, for the Contractor & Doctor bundle). As far as the service itself, I don't use it because I don't shop for services that often, but I take all online reviews with a grain of salt. There is always a way for the service/product provider to either submit false positive reviews, or pay off the review service with advertising or kickbacks. On the flip side there are dummies out there submitting a negative review because they didn't understand the service/product before they bought it.
