LMCT Plus Cancelled or Not Worth It? Here Are the Best Alternatives for 2026

By Roopon Team6 min read

If you've cancelled LMCT+ - or you're sitting with a membership you're no longer sure about - you're not alone. LMCT+ built a massive following in Australia on the strength of its car giveaways and prize draw excitement. But for a growing number of members, the maths eventually stopped working out.

Here's an honest look at why people leave LMCT+, what they're actually looking for in a replacement, and which alternatives in 2026 make the most sense for different types of members.

Why People Cancel LMCT+

LMCT+ was built around the car giveaway concept - a high-excitement prize draw model that works brilliantly for one specific type of member: the car enthusiast who actively wants to win a vehicle and finds regular value in automotive content and community.

For everyone else, the problems tend to compound over time:

1. The Core Value Requires Wanting a Car

The flagship appeal of LMCT+ is winning a car or high-value automotive prize. If you already have a car you're happy with, live in the city and rarely drive, or simply don't have strong automotive interest, you're paying for a prize category that isn't relevant to your life. A $50,000+ car isn't useful if you live in inner-city Melbourne and take the tram everywhere.

2. Everyday Value Is Limited for Non-Car-Buyers

Beyond the car draws, LMCT+ offers lifestyle perks and member benefits - but these are primarily built around the car-purchase funnel. If you're not in the market for a car, these benefits deliver limited everyday utility.

3. Pricing Concerns

LMCT+ pricing, at higher tiers, can be a significant monthly commitment. When members sit down and calculate how often they extract tangible value outside of draw entry, the cost-per-use number can look uncomfortable.

4. Draw Odds and Expectations

Car draw memberships attract large numbers of members - which means individual odds per draw can be harder to parse. Some former members report feeling that draw outcomes didn't match their expectations of frequency or fairness.

What Former LMCT+ Members Are Actually Looking For

Based on the patterns of what LMCT+ members search for after cancelling, the underlying needs are usually one or more of:

  • Ongoing cash or high-value prize draws - not just car giveaways, but regular membership benefits cash or desirable prizes
  • Everyday discounts that work regardless of whether they're buying a car
  • Transparency around how draws are conducted
  • Flexibility - month-to-month with no lock-in, so they're not committed if the value isn't there
  • A lower price point to re-evaluate membership value

The Best Alternatives to LMCT+ in 2026

1. Roopon - Best Overall Alternative

Roopon is the most direct alternative for former LMCT+ members who want ongoing prize draws plus everyday value - without the car-buyer focus.

What Roopon offers:

  • Member cash draws: included FREE entries while membership is active. Prizes are cash per campaign terms - see /giveaways
  • 18 draws held, prizes paid to verified winners (see /winners) to real Australian members
  • Partner discounts on digital tools and lifestyle services - accessible from anywhere, whether or not you're in the car market
  • BASIC from $19.99/month - cancel anytime, no lock-in, no annual commitment
  • ABN: 89 656 278 830, registered in Maroubra NSW. Transparent and accountable

Why Roopon suits ex-LMCT+ members: The draw structure is weekly cash, the prizes are genuinely useful, and the pricing is accessible. Crucially, you don't need to be shopping for a car to extract full value from your membership.

If you used one Roopon partner discount in your first month - saving on a digital tool, subscription, or lifestyle service you already use - the BASIC membership has already paid for itself before the draw even runs.

2. RS Rewards - For Those Who Want Bigger Prize Pools

RS Rewards is another Australian membership club with prize draw components. Pricing starts lower than Roopon's upper tiers, and prize structures vary. If you're looking for a different draw format with sports-adjacent prizes and content, RS Rewards is worth a look.

Trade-off: Fewer everyday discount benefits compared to Roopon, and the draw format differs. Best suited to sports fans specifically.

3. Entertainment Membership - For Lifestyle and Dining Focus

If your primary use of memberships is dining, entertainment, and experiences rather than prize draws, the Entertainment Membership (~$70/year) offers venue-based discounts across restaurants, accommodation, and activities.

Trade-off: No cash prize draw. Value depends entirely on your frequency of dining at partner venues. Poor value if you don't actively plan around the offers.

4. Amazon Prime + Roopon Stack

Some former LMCT+ members are better served by building a smarter stack rather than replacing one membership with a single alternative:

  • Amazon Prime ($9.99/month): Free delivery on Amazon orders + Prime Video
  • Roopon ($19.99/month BASIC): Member cash draws (FREE included entries) + partner discounts

Combined at $29.98/month, this stack covers streaming entertainment, online shopping savings, everyday digital discounts, AND recurring cash prize draw entries. For many former LMCT+ members, this delivers more consistent daily utility than the car-giveaway model.

A Note on Prize Draw Transparency

One of the most common frustrations we hear from former subscription prize draw members is around transparency - how are draws conducted? Who actually wins? How do I know it's legitimate?

Roopon draws are conducted live. Winners are real Australian members who are publicly announced. With 18 draws run and prizes paid to verified winners (see roopon.com/winners) to genuine winners, the track record is public and verifiable. That's the standard we'd encourage you to apply to any membership prize draw you're evaluating.

The Roopon First-Month Test

Here's a simple framework if you're evaluating Roopon as your LMCT+ replacement:

  1. Join at BASIC ($19.99/month)
  2. Use one partner discount in your first month (digital tools, lifestyle services, everyday subscriptions you already pay for)
  3. If that discount saves you $20+, the membership has already paid for itself - and you got free draw entries on top

If it doesn't deliver value in month one, cancel. No annual lock-in, no cancellation fee. That's the promise.
