My family and I used the Boston card and we had a blast. We really got good value for our money. We visited Six Flags and Sturbridge Village (not in Boston), great attractions with expensive entrance fees. We also used the Trolley, the USS constitution, visited the Aquarium, etc.

We have used the Go Card in Oahu and just a few weeks ago Los Angeles. It was a great value and has a lot of the items you are probably already going to be doing. With the LA pass you got free admission (up to 3 days) into Universal Studios which is where we stayed anyways. Admission to the park is normally $80 and most of the studio tours are at least $40-$50 a piece. I would highly recommend and Ebates also has cash back for booking.

We used these in Boston for our honeymoon and it was awesome! I didn’t feel bad if we didn’t stay somewhere very long, and we definitely got our money’s worth out of them. The 3,5, and 7 had a freebie bonus, too…we took a lunch harbor cruise.

We used the GO Chicago Card last summer and had a blast. Things in Chicago were a lot more expensive than we had thought and we were really glad we had the 3 day pass. I’ll say good things about the company as well – we made a mistake with the shipping and the customer service department helped us get the cards in market, right near our hotel – super helpful. We’ll try it again when we go to Boston in August.
