Pros:
Hot models
Cons:
Beware of their trial memberships and email newsletters! They save your credit card info from your trial membership. In their email advertisements, they'll have a small box with fine prints. By checking that box and clicking on "you want to see more," they'll subscribe you to their 3 months service at $70. I was lazy and thought that box was to affirm that I'm over 18... No confirmation for sign-up, no nothing.
Early cancellation means you won't have access to the website anymore. I think that might be illegal since the fee is prepaid.
Pictures are low quality compared to other websites charging the same price range for subscription.
Bottom Line:
Too bad I can't give a rating lower than 50. I think their business model revolves around taking advantage of people who don't read fine prints. One of the reason they have lower resolution pictures is probably to save money on server costs. For about $20 a month there are plenty of other websites that are significantly better...

Pros:
Beautiful models
High production values
Cons:
Old - almost all are copyrighted 2002 or prior
"Big" fotos - or used to be big - most fotos are 700X1050. Not bad for a circa-2002 site; no really high resolution pix are available (as in MET-Art's 2667x4000).
Poor cropping - limbs truncated. Even breasts and butts cut off.
Old-school glamour: too much orange light, overexposed/underexposed shots, limited depth of field (on the subject), crotch shot with hand placed demurely over genitals . . . or, lord help us, a stuffed bunny.
Bad file names: "DSC_0402.jpg" rather than "Jenna_Jamison_blue_0402.jpg." This naming convention forces the user to rename all files.
Unfair practices:
- "updates" are not updates. They just recirculate the old stuff. No honest update log.
- other users have complained that if you cancel, they terminate access, even if you're paid for the rest of the month
Bottom Line:
Join once for one month, if you want fairly decent size fotos of Aria and Jenna and Alley Baggett. Do not rejoin until they fix the cons noted above.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Nice content
Good amount of content
Very hot women
Cons:
Scam on download options
pictures not large
pictures are air brushed
Bottom Line:
It is a decent site, but I would hold off on it because you only want to have to download from once because of the bull shit $40 fee for really downloads. This is what is keeping me from returning for the updates!
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-The Quality of the content is pretty darn good.
-I like some of the extras.
-Navigation is easy and understandable.
Cons:
-Bad membership practices (some of which may be down right illegal).
-Have to pay an additional and significantly high fee in order to be able to download the pics as ZIP files.
Bottom Line:
There was a time when this was a good website. ZIP files were offered for everything. While the general quality of the content is still good, their membership practices are terrible. Beware! M&B cancels your membership immeadiately, no matter how long you have left on your term. Personally, I think this is an illegal practice. After all, you've paid for a month, you should get it, no matter what. To get ZIP files, you have to pay an extra $39.95. Yeah, sure you supposedly get some extra content, like earlier access to updates, but it isn't worth the price. Bottom line, the terrible membership practices are not worth what this site has to offer.
Follow-Up:
There has been some confusion as to what I meant when I said about the membership cancellation policy. If you, the user, cancel your membership, Mac & Bumble stops everything immediately, no matter how much time is left on your membership period. I hope this clarifies everything.

M & B is now selling VIP upgrades for new signups thru next week at $24.95 per month and $59.95 for 3 months.
But if you use the PU link, the prices are $19.95 and $39.95...and no upgrade apparently.
With all of their shady practices reported in PU, their credibility sucks. I don't plan to sign up through the PU link. But if someone else does, let us know what's up.
I just received an email from them stating that there is no more VIP pricing. It seems that they finally figured out that ripping people off is not necessarily the best way to do business.
Ugh - what a waste of time. The trial is SEVERELY LIMITED. Only a few galleries per model are available and for many models no galleries at all are available!!
I intentionally looked around the site - even read the fine print in the user agreement - to see if it was a limited trial. I found nothing. There is a word for this: Fraud.
What a waste of time and money. Stay far, far away from this site.
Does any one know if they still force the $40 fee for zip files of the photo set? I was a member previously and would not mind rejoining at some point, but I am not paying this fee again. I would if they charge it again if you paid for it before? Can another offer some insight here?
I email customer service a while back about the fee and if we have to prepay it if we rejoin, but I got no reply. :(
I've finaly unsubscribed to the newsletter they been sending me for some time after being a member twice.
I must have hit my head on something joining the second time...
This site I certainly will give not recommended!
Agree with Drooler and dilbert4100
They don't give a damm about members, the stuff they update are worth very little - yeah, we're only in it for the money.
Critic like this needs explanation - let me give you some:
In the latest newsletter you can get directed to - for exampel - the great Lonnie Adams. In the preview there SEEMS to be new material of this fine old timer. But bah,bah,bah - it's the old videos and the old photosets - in spite of new - alleged - thumbnail-photos. They are even so stupid, that the vids- thumbnails (with new photos) direct you to the old videos.
Fake, brother, fake!
This site needs a serious new evaluation by TBP!
The standard membership price does not include the possibility of downloading zipfiles. An extra "one time" fee of 39.95$ is demanded. So count on downloading one pic at a time. No mention is made of this before signup. Also, I was given a 1 day trial membership to Maxglamour for $1.95 renewing at 33.95$. But I didn't know about it... It's all about the money... After browsing the site for a few days I say Mac and Bumble is overrated.
