Review Time
I signed up to Buckt as a surprise for my partner. We both have super busy jobs and rarely find the time to research amazing things to do in our area. Buckt was the answer, it introduced us to loads of really call independent companies like Mocking bird, the botanical gardens and the night owl who were some of our favourites. It also got me to a yoga class which I never thought I would do but it turns out I loved it. We can't wait for the new tickets to be released every month as they never let us down. Honestly couldn't recommend enough.
I really struggle to make decisions and the last thing I want to do after working all day is to come home and have to plan our social life. But with Buckt I don't have to worry about any of that. I am guaranteed every month to have five fantastic activities to do, and all I have to do I simply pick the one I want to do that week for myself and my partner. Beating my partner at blackjack and axe throwing has been a personal highlight over the last couple of months. It's a great concept and it delivered perfectly. It's a must in my opinion, 5 stars!
Personally, I found this to be a bit rubbish. To be fair to them, we only paid £15 for the first month and this is in Bristol, so it’s not the biggest city in the UK by a long way. Out of the first five activities for month one I would realistically say there was only one that I was that interested in, but I recognise that other people might have liked a couple of the others, depending on personality and interests. One of the most annoying things is that you have to wait until the month after to even be able to book onto things. Of course the £15 originally paid wasn’t the full price, the real price is £40, but that would’ve been fine if the activities were good. Very annoying and dishonest that they charged £10 each for additional tickets to events when those tickets could be found everywhere else online for £6 per person. Several of the things were quite far outside of Bristol and one is just a do it yourself walking tour which I assume is provided through an app. They make it quite convoluted to cancel and make it sound very daunting like you lose access to what you’ve already paid for immediately, which I think is very unfair and not good business practice. Personally I think it’s not good value for money at all. Maybe I just got a really bad month for activities. The app is really ridiculous and convoluted. Very often you have to arrange through the app for third party companies to contact you and there are several steps back and forth along the way. You don’t even have access to the app for several weeks, depending on when you signed up to the offer and are placed in a ‘waiting room’ until the following month.
Me and my partner received Buckt as a gift a few months ago and the opportunity to do rock climbing, axe throwing and even things as cultured as wine tasting over the months, we were pleasantly surprised at the great value for money when we resubscribed ourself.Looking forward for what's to come in the coming months!
Buckt was coming to my local area and for a £15 introductory offer I thought I'd give it a go. The concept is decent, you pay for a subscription and get 5 activities to book in your local area; it does take the pain from looking for activities but there are some mighty large caveats with this.First, when you sign up you don't get your activities until the start of the following month. Personally I don't mind this, but they delayed mine for another month on top of that. I gather this isn't the norm but it does mean depending when you sign up you will be waiting until the start of the next month.Second, they decided not to roll out to my area after all. I was called by a nice member of staff to alert me of this and they offered me another city. In principle this shouldn't be a problem and if you're in a well established Buckt area then you won't have the same issue. For me this meant another hour of travel and even then the activities weren't actually in that city. That said, when you come to actually booking the activities, some let you book in a different city though I'm not sure if this is frowned upon.Third, you randomly get activities and it's a mix bag. I had a VR experience, archery, a comedy club, meditation and a walking tour. So the first 2, pretty decent but the rest are really naff. There isn't an option to change or swap these so either you need to be open to try new things or just accept that some months you'll get things you may not want - I guess you can let someone else go for you.I decided To cancel after 1 month. Buckt are upfront with how to do this though it seemed complex it really wasn't. You log onto a different platform and follow their instructions. The only thing I worried about is that it said you lose your activities if you cancel so I made sure to book mine first just in case.So is Buckt worth it? For £15 for 2 people, yes. Even with 3 less than great activities, the 2 good ones probably make it worth it and I'll do the walking tour regardless because I like walking. I think for the full price you need to be open to try everything to make it worth it but I like the concept and if you want to get out and do things it's a good idea.What could be better? Maybe asking people what they liked to tailor activities to their interests and ability. Maybe allowing people to shuffle what they get so that if they get meditation they can swap it? Edit: 8th Dec.The owner of Buckt called me to discuss the issues that I experienced. I understand what I went through, with the longer than usual delays, the change of city etc. isn't the norm. They also offered me a full refund but for the price I paid for my activities and the fact that I am going to do a couple of them so that seemed wrong, so I declined.Off the back of our talk I have decided to modify my review, but not remove it completely. It's a fair representation of my experience and if Buckt came back to my area I would want to give it another go.
‼️‼️DO NOT USE BUCKT‼️‼️They refused to refund me my subscription payment after I told them my mum died recently and they claimed that they needed the £40 more than I do. No customer care whatsoever, they completely disregarded my situation. I commented on their socials to try and spread the word of their awful service and they deleted all my comments to cover their tracks 😂 and completely ignored my last email. Corrupt company!!!!!!!!
I usually travel to Worcester due to work and one of my friends recommended Buckt. The anticipation of mystery events was great and felt something new. For our first tickets, we were allocated ice skating, rock climbing, and wine tasting. Me and my friends had a blast exploring new activities and catching up after quite some time. I highly recommend Buckt.
I’ve been a subscriber for almost a year now, and I love it! It’s a great way for me to try a bunch of new activities, some that I’d never even heard of. My favourite so far was the Alpaca Walking - such a cool day out. I’ve saved heaps of time now that I don't have to think of fun things to do anymore, which is awesome. I highly recommend!
