The travel industry is a 7 billion dollar per year industry. Global Abundance Programs (G.A.P.) is the latest company to try to earn a piece of those profits. Cruise To Cash was launched in October 2007 with hopes of achieving just that.
Cost To Join
There are two levels that you can join at to become a Cruise To Cash member.
* Weekender Package - $477
* Cruiser Package - $977
The Weekender Package includes unlimited weekend getaways to several destinations. These getaways are generally for 3 days and 2 nights.
The Cruiser Package includes all of the Weekender Package, plus you get unlimited access to vacations like an 8 day, 7 night condo stay at over 700 locations worldwide.
The other costs involved with the packages are room tax and an activation fee or "redemption fee" that usually is around $50 per stay.
Compensation Plan
What everyone really wants to know no matter what program they join is how the compensation plan works. When it comes right down to it, the products in a program need to be good and have value, but what you really want is to be able to make some real money.
So how does the comp plan work? Cruise To Cash is actually a modified 2up plan. You earn split commissions of $238.50 or $488.50 from your 1st two package sales and $238.50 or $488.50 from the 1st two package sales made by your personally sponsored member. From your 3rd personal sale on, you get paid 100% commissions of $477 or $977.
In order to stay active with the program, Cruise To Cash members must pay a monthly fee of either $39.95 or $59.95 according to the initial membership package that they purchase. The sponsor earns $10 or $20 of that based on which program the member joins at, with the rest going to the company.
Conclusion
While Cruise To Cash is not a scam, it does have a flawed compensation plan. With a 2up comp plan, when the member becomes fully qualified their sponsor no longer earns any money from that member. That presents a great challenge as the sponsor no longer has any reason to train and assist their member in making sales. This forms a lack of team synergy and cohesiveness.
