Anyone hear of this program? Apparently its a program that you pay either a lifetime or 2-year membership to for savings at lots of large national retailers. However it also allows you to collect commission from getting other people to sign up.
Anyone have experience with this program? Thoughts?

See, that's what I'm thinking and fearing. But a couple guys that I respect very much are a part of it, one of which introduced me to it tonight.

They may not be true pyramids, but how these things work is by coupling the pyramid with a "legitimate" product.
For instance, there was a company called Burn Lounge that did a presentation at LSU trying to grow their company. Their program was to offer MP3 music just like iTunes or whatever. Their "big idea" was to also allow users to open up "shops" that displayed the music you liked/owned. If another user bought music through your shop, you got a commission. Our group passed on them because we spotted the "pyramid," and a few months later they were getting hit by the Feds.
You can do this coupling with any variety of legitimate businesses but it always leads to the same basic concept, you can't make shite unless you get a bigger ground floor underneath you, and how are you going to make money when every body else preceding you is signing up people, and every body they sign up is signing up people, not leaving any for you, etc. etc.
Its common sense, move along and you'll notice these gimmicks from here on out. Your intuition is some times right on the money, or shall I say on the Dinar.

I've known some pretty good business folks that fall for stuff like this, most of the time they ended up realizing it after a short period of time.

I saw the video and looked through the pamphlet.
It's another pyramid scheme.

Bump for anyone who may have experience with the company.

Neighbor came by and showed my the video and wanted me to join. Turned him down and he just quit his job to go full time with the Team National thing. Supposedly he is doing really well with it but I'm not so sure about that.
