With the glut of online business opportunities available on the internet today, it's easy to let your emotions get the best of you and get caught up in all the flash and hype. So, when I ran cross Cruise To Cash I naturally was very leery about their business and opportunity.
First let me say that there is a monumental shift going on in the internet business world as of late. It is becoming clear who is genuinely FOR the marketers, and who is selfishly out for personal gain. There is a disturbing trend of negative advertising and darn right nasty marketing tactics going on all in the effort to make a buck. Competition is keen and, sadly, it's apparent that more and more individuals are willing to do anything to make a sale.
As someone who has been watching all of this unfold over the last couple of years, I can honestly say that this kind of "crap" is about to hit the proverbial fan in the coming months. People are wising up by asking more intelligent questions and not falling for the outright lies, flashy websites and toys and trinkets being dangled in front of them.
That's why, initially, I thought Cruise To Cash was going to be yet another fly-by-night operation offering nothing of real substance or lasting value. Since I knew that this was going to be just another run-of-the-mill, short lived opportunity, I really wasn't anxious to check this thing out. I knew, however, that I had to give an honest review based on the facts, so I proceeded to investigate the company, the product and this so called "revolutionary compensation plan." (Everyone claims to have a revolutionary comp plan!)
As for the product, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is "front and center," and the driving force behind the Cruise To Cash business. If you've looked around the net, you've no doubt noticed that many of the online business opportunities put very little emphasis on the products or services being offered. Just money games, really. Not so with Cruise To Cash.
Let me give you a brief run down: In order to become a Cruise To Cash member you must enroll at one of two levels. The Weekender Package is $477 and includes unlimited weekend getaways to destinations such as Las Vegas, Cape Cod, Orlando, Mexico, Hawaii and many more. You save big money on these vacations by redeeming valuable travel vouchers. These getaways are generally for 3 days and 2 nights in duration and remember you can use these vouchers an unlimited number of times.
The Cruiser Package is $977 and includes all of the benefits and getaways that are in the Weekender Package plus, you get unlimited access to vacations like an 8 day, 7 night condo stay at over 700 locations worldwide including such destinations as Orlando, Bermuda, Hawaii and Portugal and many, many more. The Cruiser Package also includes a cruise aboard a first class cruise ship. Just as you do with the Weekender Package, you can enjoy unlimited access to these and many other vacations. These are real premium vacations to real places that you can enjoy with your family and friends and pay a fraction of the full price.
I was, of course, skeptical about all of this and knew there had to be a catch, but upon reading a bit more I found out that the only other costs after paying room tax is a small activation fee or "redemption fee" that never exceeds $50. (I like the fact that they didn't try to hide this information). Small price to pay, considering the savings involved, and when they say "unlimited" they mean "unlimited."
Top notch hotels like Wyndham, Marriott, Radisson, Sheraton, Ramada, Hampton Inn, Hawthorne Suites, Fairfield Inn and Suites, readily accept these vouchers because they rarely are fully booked to capacity, and empty rooms add nothing to their bottom line.
And you stay for pennies on the dollar. As an example: One family booked 5 nights in Hawaii for less than $30 per night in the Outrigger Hotel on Waikiki Beach. The normal price was over $250 per night. These definitely are not "sloucher vouchers."
Next, I looked at the Cruise To Cash pay plan.
I have to admit, I wasn't impressed at first, because it looked like a typical 2-up deal where you pass up 100% commission of your first two sales to your sponsor, but this isn't the case. Actually, they have created a pay plan that includes four profit centers under one umbrella.
Here's how it works:
You earn split commissions of $238.50 or $488.50 on your first 2 product sales, (You never have to pass up 100% of your commissions), plus an additional $238.50 or $488.50 from the first 2 product sales generated by your personally enrolled members. From your 3rd personal sale on to infinity you get paid 100% commissions of $477 or $977. Additionally, Cruise To Cash has introduced an industry first by paying its members a $10 or $20 residual income on every personal enrollee month after month as long as they stay with the program.
In order to stay active with the program Cruise To Cash members must pay a monthly fee of either $39.95 or $59.95 depending on which package they come in at. I wouldn't consider this a negative, because you get a lot of great tools, including replicated websites, comprehensive back office training ' including videos - and a proven powerful marketing system to help grow your business.
All in all, Cruise To Cash offers a solid opportunity for anyone who's willing to forth the necessary time and effort to make it work.
