The Truth About TVI Express

TVI Express aka Travel Ventures International is recently causing an uproar in the MLM industry. This latest and greatest U.S. launch uses a pay plan considered a pyramid where you pay in 0 and get out ,000 or more time and time again. It sounds like a dream come true but will it pass the test of U.S. authorities?

TVI is located in London and runs a vacation club where members are rewarded with discount vacations and other travel discounts on services such as airfare and rental cars. To get started all you have to do is wire 0 to TVI into their offshore bank account and then you are able to make ,000 several times over.

Their pay plan takes a little time to study but it’s screaming ponzi scheme all over. You simply complete travel boards by sponsoring people until you cycle out. Once you finish a entire cycle you earn ,000 and are put back inside the matrix to build again. Once your recruits conclude their cycle they they get put right back under you and the whole cycle begins again.

TVI is a classic example of whoever gets in first makes the most money and the folks who start at the end are left holding an empty bag. Several TVI Express reps have called me up and tried to sell me on TVI. They were even bold enough to say that if I got in quick I could make some money before it gets shut down. I’m sorry but I steer wide of anything that even appears fraudulent. I personally know someone who has already made ,000 with TVI but he is on the verge of destroying his credibility if he continues. It simply is not mathematically possible for everyone to make money in TVI Express.

TVI does a great job making everything look legit but don’t be fooled. For example they have a picture of Warren Buffet on their web page. One new recruit thought Warren Buffet was a TVI member. Could he have been told a lie or did he just believe Warren Buffet was was a TVI member because he saw a picture of him on the web site with this quote? “The Best Investment I ever made…” You can also find Bill Clinton, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump seemingly promoting TVI Express.

Another red flag with TVI is they do not take credit card payments. They require you to wire money to an offshore account and we are not even sure where that is. You can’t be serious? I understand we are in desperate times but don’t be fooled into throwing your money away. If you wire the funds and then change your mind later you have no way of getting your money back. Suppose you don’t get everything TVI says they will give you? You have no recourse. You won’t get your money back and this is just one reason why TVI is raising concern in the industry.

There is no such thing as easy money. Earning good money takes hard work. It’s sort of a law of nature. There are lots of really good quality network marketing companies out there. The rule still applies that if it looks too good to be true then it is. Be careful when selecting a company and don’t get caught up in a money making scheme.

TVI Express Consumer Review

If you have done any recent searches on new MLM companies or home based business opportunities you have probably come across the Travel Ventures International business opportunity. TVI Express is a fairly new company, but as of late has been getting an extreme amount of buzz in network marketing and MLM circles. This review is going to provide you with all facts and no hype, that way if you are looking in to TVI Express you can make an informed decision.

Is TVI Express a Pyramid Scheme? So lets get right to the juicy part.

First of all lets define what a “pyramid scheme” is. A pyramid scheme is a business model that involves recruiting people into a so called opportunity through and exchange of money with no product or service being delivered.

TVI Express provides its members with a dynamic travel membership. Membership owners are able to book flights, vehicles, hotels, and cruises at discounted prices. Members also get a 6 day 7 night vacation to the destination of their choice which includes a free return flight for one when they join. Looking at the facts it does not appear that TVI Express is a cash gifting program or pyramid scheme.

About Travel Ventures International TVI Express is a UK based company which has been doing business globally in multpile countries, and has been recently introduced to the US and Canada. In their first 6 months they have skyrocketed to almost 200,000 members which is unprecedented in the the mlm industry.

The Business Opportunity To join TVI and start their business opportunity you submit your $250 payment, actually your costs will be close to $300 if you are in the US due to credit card, and bank wire fees and exchange rates. Once you submit your payment you will receive an official website along with a back office for you to run and organize your business out off. There you will find your access to the travel membership site, and can access your free vacation. There are no monthly fees involved with the company which is a definite plus, and pretty much makes the business opportunity a risk free venture, in that the worst case scenario, you decide the business is not for you and you walk away having paid $300 for a 7 day vacation with a free return flight.

The business opportunity is built around you recruiting 2 people into the business thats it. When you join with TVI, you start off of the Traveler board. Once you cycle off of the traveler board you are paid $500, $250 in cash and $250 in an eVoucher. You are then placed on the Express board, when you cycle out of the Express board you are paid $10,000 cash and $5000 in an eVoucher. When you are cycled off of the Express board you are placed on another Express board and the process repeats.

What Do I Think? When I first heard about TVI Express, I really paid it no mind, as I am a network marketer I hear of new companies and so called pre-launch opportunities every day. As the company started to grow I took a closer look. Their business model is unlike any other company that I have seen in the industry which is a good and a bad thing. Its good in that it makes them unique from all of the other opportunities out there however, when a company has a business structure that is this different it can be meet with a lot of skepticism. With all that being said TVI Express, in my opinion, will probably do really well, because of the high commission pay out, and the fact that each member only has to recruit 2 people.  To take a closer look at TVI Express check I have posted some informative videos on the company and the compensation plan on this site.
