Conclusion
Jifu markets its journey portal on the idea that main journey service suppliers are ripping shoppers off.
Do you know? All the on-line journey reserving system is dominated by a DUOPOLY.
What’s a DUOPOLY? Assume monopoly, however with TWO PLAYERS.
The most well-liked journey portals are a duopoly, that are sometimes owned by Priceline and Expedia.
EVERY. MAJOR. TRAVEL. SITE.
Journey shoppers are informed they’re getting the perfect deal, when actually, the duopoly, accesses unsold stock and MARKS IT UP.
Introducing JIFU. JIFU accesses the SAME wholesale, unsold stock because the DUOPOLY.
SAME resorts. SAME motels. SAME leases. However WITHOUT the inflated costs.
In actual fact, JIFU offers its members unique entry to unsold or emptiness pricing with no hidden prices or markup. You heard that proper.
Jifu’s compensation plan isn’t totally disconnected from bought journey companies, however it’s fairly shut.
The one factor tying Jifu associates to bought journey companies are Journey Rewards Credit.
Each month when paying your Member or Member Affiliate charges or journey by way of the JIFU portal, you accumulate “Journey Reward Credit” or “TRC.”
Each $100 spent on enrollment for the Gold, Platinum and Diamond Packs, month-to-month charges or precise journey offers you a minimal of $1 in TRC.
You’ll be stunned how shortly they add up. You may e book journey making use of TRCs or just money them out by way of JIFU once you attain 50,000 TRC or the equal of $500 in TRCs.
Be aware that not all earned TRCs could be cashed out, with some equivalent to these acquired by way of rank development solely in a position for use to e book journey companies.
Additionally notice that nowhere in Jifu’s compensation plan is retail gross sales of memberships or booked journey required.
As a Jifu retail buyer, you join a retail membership (virtually hidden amongst extra profitable affiliate membership choices), for $50 after which $25 a month.
Contemplating entry to Jifu’s Journey Portal is simply $25 a month, it raises the query why affiliate packs are priced at as much as $1000.
The apparent reply is commissionable quantity, however there are another variations – most of which aren’t regulatory compliant.
First off we now have pay to play. The extra a Jifu affiliate pays in charges every month, the upper their revenue potential by way of Jifu’s compensation plan.
Diamond pack associates, for instance,
instantly qualify for added enhanced First Order Bonus (recruitment commissions), and Matching Commissions.
Pay to play is simply an excuse to cost associates greater charges. It’s usually a key indicator of a pyramid scheme.
Versus charges paid, fee qualification in an MLM alternative ought to solely at all times be tied to gross sales efficiency.
The opposite main distinction is bundled Buddy Passes.
Jifu’s Buddy Passes are purported to be retail advertising and marketing instruments, however they can be used to recruit new associates.
When redeemed, a Buddy Cross holder will get entry to the Jifu Journey Portal – however solely 50% of supplied reductions.
E.g. if a daily Jifu affiliate or retail buyer will get a $100 low cost off one thing, a Buddy Cross member will solely get $50 off.
Silver associates get ten Buddy Passes at hand out every month. Diamond associates get 100.
Seeing as Buddy Passes are given out, in and of themselves they don’t rely as gross sales to retail prospects (assuming they aren’t simply handed out to potential associates).
Does bundling Buddy Passes to Jifu affiliate membership charges justify some associates paying $100 and others $1000 – in all probability not.
Particularly when month-to-month charges on a $1000 Diamond membership drop to simply $120 (the identical 100 Buddy Passes are bundled every month).
That leaves Journey Reward Credit, which for some motive Jifu associates get only for signing up.
Diamond pack associates get 9000 TRC for signing up after which 3600 TRC a month – for doing nothing greater than paying charges.
These TRCs should be put in the direction of the journey reserving engine and might’t be redeemed for money – so at the least there’s that.
Nonetheless does nothing to encourage retail gross sales although.
Jifu Journey’s compensation plan equates 50,000 TRC to $500, in order that they appear to be a 1% inner worth.
That’s the 9000 TRC a Diamond pack affiliate will get after they enroll equates to $90 in journey reserving credit score. The month-to-month TRC worth is $36.
Value paying tons of of {dollars} extra for when signing up? Hardly.
Let’s face it, the drawcard for Jifu’s greater priced affiliate packs is revenue potential – and that’s a regulatory pink flag.
One factor I wish to contact on is that some Jifu rank can could be certified for by way of Journey Reward Credit.
The Gold rank, for instance, could be certified for by accumulating 600 TRC by way of Buddy Cross.
Whether or not that’s truly going to occur in any important quantity, or whether or not associates will simply pay $400 is one other matter.
Contemplating greater ranks require greater affiliate pack purchases and retail could be ignored, I’m leaning in the direction of fee of $400.
One other regulatory pink flag is Jifu’s misrepresentation of obtainable recruitment commissions.
It’s said in Jifu’s compensation plan that
Compensation below the plan shouldn’t be paid for recruiting actions.
All commissions and bonuses are derived from finish customers having fun with the advantages of the corporate’s services.
Whether or not intention or not, it is a flat-out lie.
The First Order Bonus is actually a recruitment bonus paid on the recruitment of latest Jifu associates.
Name it no matter you need, it’s what it’s and for Jifu to fake in any other case is disingenuous.
The excellent news is evaluating whether or not your potential Jifu upline is operating a pyramid scheme or professional retail oriented enterprise is straight-forward.
Seeing as booked journey companies has nothing to do with the vast majority of Jifu’s compensation plan, they are often ignored.
All it is advisable ask your potential Jifu upline is what number of energetic retail $25 a month retail buyer memberships they’ve.
You’re not desirous about Buddy Cross members or expired retail prospects or journey reserving figures.
All you wish to know is what number of energetic $25 a month retail memberships this affiliate has.
In the event that they received’t reply that or the quantity is extremely low (weigh it up towards what number of energetic fee-paying associates they’ve recruited in order for you), you possibly can surmise that retail shouldn’t be a spotlight of that affiliate’s enterprise.
And if that’s the case company-wide, it means Jifu itself could be working as a pyramid scheme.
One other calculation you are able to do to gauge retail viability can also be ask what affiliate membership tier that affiliate is paying for every month.
Search for the corresponding Buddy Passes they get every month, weigh that towards what number of months the affiliate has been a Jifu affiliate and examine to their energetic retail memberships.
Personally given how little booked journey has to do with Jifu compensation, and that retail is totally non-compulsory – I’d be stunned to see important retail memberships outdoors of Buddy Passes (which final for six months).
Except retail journey reserving quotas exist, sometimes the vast majority of journey booked in a journey MLM is by associates.
Most of the time simply to snap some images for Fb (assume WorldVentures’ “try to be right here” cringe advertising and marketing).
To make clear, there’s nothing improper with associates reserving journey – however there additionally must be important corresponding companies booked by retail prospects as nicely.
And sure that’s even when booked journey isn’t a main fee driver in Jifu’s compensation plan.
What higher means is there to gauge the retail viability of Jifu’s memberships than by booked journey?
