DreamTrips Life is a new membership based travel club which promises that they can make it possible for anyone, who lives on any budget, to experience more and take world class vacations.
According to their video presentation available at VacationSooner.com, DreamTrips realized that people want to take amazing vacations and have “bucket list” experiences, but feel they can’t because of money issues.
So DreamTrips created a vacation club which could offer 5 star experiences to their members at 2 or 3 star prices. All you have to do is pay a one time activation fee of $200.00 and a monthly fee of $55.00.
How the Club Works
Using the same bulk buying strategies of companies like CostCo and Sam’s Club, DreamTrips buys tickets, books hotel rooms, and arranges experiences in large numbers so they can get discounted prices which they pass on to their customers, so they can then “Vacation Sooner.”
In addition, all the fees you pay to them are accumulated throughout your membership and then turned into Reward Points which can then be applied to Reward Trips. Every year on the anniversary of your sign up, you will receive 660 points. 1 point is equal to 1 dollar, and when these points are attributed to a trip, it will be discounted by that amount.
They also have an Online Mall, which features over 900 stores, including major retailers like Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and more. Each time you make a purchase at one of these stores through their Online Mall, a portion of the purchase cost will be added into a Vacation Bank for you and can be attributed to vacations you book at later times.
The Business Opportunity: Getting Started
Customers who choose can not only be Vacation Sooner members, but also representatives who can earn money by selling WorldVentures memberships to new members. All you need to do is pay a one time $99 activation fee and a monthly fee of $11.
Once you refer four active members – who maintain their membership – your monthly membership dues will be waived for as long as those members remain active.
After that, the earning matrix is dependent on how many members you sign up within certain periods of time. The video presentation does not mention monetary compensation; most of the compensation referenced is that of bonuses and sweepstakes entries.
If you are interested in becoming a vacation club member or a representative, or are looking for details about what recourse you have should you have complaints or issues with their trips or memberships, you’ll need to refer to their website or find an active representative in your area to get specifics.
Travel Club Controversy
Travel clubs do not have the best reputations, historically speaking, because of past trends with clubs taking members’ dues and then not honoring travel arrangements due to blackout dates and other limitations.
New travel clubs are trying to change these perceptions and create new understandings of their opportunities, though you will have to reach out to existing members to find proof of whether or not these new companies are worthwhile. Current members who are familiar with this organization are invited to please leave their reviews below.
We saw World Ventures Dec.11, 2013, today is March 13,2014. We entered this endeavor with the understanding of no guarantee's of profit or success. That is the very same way we both entered or primary careers, no one guaranteed me work after my training and no one guaranteed my wife she would make it through medical school and her internship. I did find comfort in finding out Warren Buffet the billionaire owns several multilevel marketing businesses. I really don't mind following his lead on that one!
As of today we are totally satisfied with all that World Ventures has presented itself as. We see great value for the dollar in all that World Ventures provides in their products and services.
I made the decision to share this opportunity with several of my closest friends. As a direct result of my efforts my wife and I qualified for the BMW car bonus in 78 days. In my thirty seven years working in the industry I love never once was I given the opportunity to earn a BMW as a performance bonus. We are having a blast, meeting wonderful people and we are profitable. What conventional business you know of sees profit in three months?
I have found many who take advantage of others in many industries, there will always be people who lie cheat and steal. In my last job two million dollars went missing between the CEO and the CFO, the company went bust, as Vice President of Engineering I qualified for 275 dollars a week unemployment. Are all CEOs and CFOs crooks? No, I just happen to know two that are! If you believe multilevel marketing is a scam then don't do it!
If you still don't know what to think after reading my personal opinion from my direct involvement I defer to Sir Richard Branson, and I quote "The best way of learning about anything is by doing" so take his advice and go find out for yourself.
Success is not for the chosen few, success is for the few that chose!
I hope this was helpful, best wishes to all!
And I have been in Amway and Quixtar basically the same company revamped. Same reasoning of what looks like a pyramid. this concept is taking out of text, because the more below the better benefits for the higher ups.
Also I am not a fan of anything that thinks you should promote your whole life for its benefit. like make it or break it. I watched people lose out on their lives and their kids lives to reach that residual income. and then something in the business happens. and its all lost. never to regain your lost time. I was even an advanced unit leader for avon. over 70 people under me. a lot of time recruiting and training. I fell, and with my injury.my business fell too
2. if you dont go with others then you still get the same price , or you make your own trip. 3.you get money back 2 ways .. through travel dollars and dreamtrips reward points.
Networking marketing is a great business form , it just take the right work ethic and product to work.
What have I learned? The company makes its money primarily through recruitment and membership fees. Do I have a problem with this concept? Not in the slightest, honestly.
I think the concept is legit, there is an opportunity to make SOME money. Get rich? Possible, but unlikely. Make a little bit of profit? Probable if you extend the effort, just like anything else. The true profit center is memberships, on the percolation theory. Is it for me? No, not really.
I dont think anyone is truly getting scammed, but I think it's just not the type of project I'm interested in investing in.
Spend money to make money, it's a concept true for most business ventures, I'm just not interested in this process.
whats harm in that. Have faith an jump everyone.
I am jumping in tomorrow wish me luck.
But in essence, the business model depends on each person recruiting n other people, who in turn recruit n other people. That's a pyramid scheme.
So please let me know before I get involved?
