We used Traveler's Joy and loved it.  We set it up so that the fee was transparent to the guests.

We used thehoneymoon.com, mostly because that is who our travel agent has a relationship with.  We had a good experience and I really liked how easy it was to set up and customize, though to be fair, I didn't spend much time checking out other options.  We set ours up so that we paid the fee, not our guests.  The only glitch is that somehow our second check was overlooked and they did not send it out to us the day it was supposed to.  We called them and they were really great about apologizing and getting the check out to us that same day.

I used honeyfund.com and we signed up for TA's fund. No one so far has used honeyfund.com. We put it on our website with our other traditional registries. Our wedding is in 15 days. Also, we didnt advertise our TA's (which was triple A) so no one used it either, but we got $25 toward our trip for signing up to use it, so it was worth it.

I am using honeyfund.com.  So far that is all the gifts I have received.  I have not received anything on my BBB registry (I get married on 28 NOV).  It is working out greatI registered for honeymoon items, as well as, big ticket items (like washer and dryer, etc) where people can gift an amount towards that.I don't think it is bad at all...but that is my opinion.  I was on the "Registries and Gift' board earlier and it's like a shark tank when asking opinions about this certain topic!!!
