My cousin is trying to make me pay something like $700 for a two year membership. This shite seems shady as frick, but he has made a lot of money and always brags about it. If it is a scheme, I can't wait to see his bubble burst tbh

I know 5+ people that swear by it. I honestly am not interested, but kudos to them if they are on to something and are saving money

If you can make so much why not get 2 memberships?

These are the two clues for every pyramid scheme. If you have to pay something in order to make money, run far far away.

So the $700 membership gets you savings on various products, and you make money by getting other people to sign up for memberships?

And then those people go out and get other people to sign up for the membership and you make money off of them too ? Kind of like pyramid?

Yes it's a scheme. I have a buddy that's way up in it. Every time he try to sell it to me I tell him to lick my balls. I don't see him often, but it cracks me up everytime he tries to give me a sales pitch.

At the top of every pyramid scam is a rich Jewish guy.

Its not. It seems shady AF when they approach you with the line of " I cant tell you I have to show you"

..my buddy approached me with it and I checked out their conference with him...It is worth it if you use it. It actually pays for itself if you use it for one of the big purchases.

It's called multi-level marketing. You should try it out.

Exactly how stupid does one have to be to participate in stuff like this?

If it was such a great deal then they would not need to pay an army of people to sell it for them. See sams club.

How about if your friend pays the $700 for you and you give it back to him double once you make your first 100k check?

My parents joined, and by default we got the membership for free.

When we built our house it saved us enough to pay my parents membership.


Example, went to Sears, picked out the appliances we wanted, wrote down the info, the went home and emailed Tean National the model numbers. Saved 15% off the store price on each item

AT&T gives us a discount of 10-15%, a month now as well through team national

Bought our furniture through them as well. Dining table price was cheaper then same table I searched on the Internet by a few hundred, even after paying shipping.
