       Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 47

   1.                                                   We have reviewed your 
response to comment 1 and your proposal to continue to exclude
                                                        deferrals in your 
non-GAAP measures for the remainder of 2023. We continue to believe
                                                        that the accelerated 
recognition of membership revenues is not consistent with Question
                                                        100.04 of the 
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (   C&DIs   ) on Non- GAAP
                                                        Financial Measures. 
Given this, we do not believe it is appropriate for you to continue to
                                                        include the change in 
your deferred revenue liability for upfront payments received related
                                                        to membership upgrade 
contracts in your calculation of any non-GAAP financial
                                                        measures for the 
remainder of 2023. Please revise your presentation beginning with your
                                                        next periodic filing 
and earnings release to remove this adjustment from your non-GAAP
                                                        measures.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-9

2.       We have considered your response to comment 5 in our letter dated May 
17, 2023. Given
         the quantitative significance of the error to cash flows from 
operating activities and that
         we do not agree that the factors cited in your qualitative assessment 
overcome such
         significance, we disagree with your conclusion that the error was 
immaterial.
         Accordingly, we have concluded that your previously issued 
consolidated financial
         statements are materially misstated and, therefore, should be 
restated. Also, in light of the
         restatement, please reassess your conclusions regarding disclosure 
controls and
         procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the 
impacted periods.
       Please contact Eric McPhee at 202-551-3693 or Jennifer Monick at 
202-551-3295 if you
have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related 
matters.
